RC55 FFC Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) I think the issues with the KM stand capacity versus empty seats is 2 fold. 1 is a number of people double up in the ultras section meaning seats go free elsewhere. 2 is the free kids STs. They are free anyway and the club could just let people rock up with their kids on match day, if going. I’m not convinced these are always used by parents. Different in the main stand where demand is fine & it’s allocated seating. Edited February 13 by RC55 FFC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact. If that’s not an issue then fine but don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect better. Perhaps if we go up it’s an area that can receive a small investment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Ultras are now well established, is there a conversation to be had for converting their area into a safe standing space for them? This would increase the capacity of the stand and it's not like they use the seats there anyway. Alternatively, is there the possibly of looking into terracing for the vacant east space? Watching the Morton game on Friday, with the place rocking, made me long for terracing so badly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought If I couldn’t make games, I’d even be happy to donate my ST’s in the KM to fans who for whatever reason can’t afford to attend games at the moment. If the club could set up some way of doing this it would be good as better they get used than empty seats.

Better they get used than empty seats. 100% think this is a good idea. Falkirk Foundation do a lot of charity work. Maybe they could help organise tickets for folk who have fallen on hard times and could do with a day out at the football but can't afford it. Must be at least 100 STs up for grabs on any given matchday. If I'm not attending, I'd happily donate my seat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeodhasXD Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 1 hour ago, Long Suffering Bairn said: but whatever they doing or equipment they are using is what we should be doing. https://pro.sony/en_IE/products/handheld-camcorders/pxw-z150 Fairly sure that's what they've got. That's the camera I wanted to get for us a good few years ago when it was a newer model. Would have made negotiations much easier had anyone known covid was coming but £3k was seen as a bit steep at the time. For ideal purchases I quite like the idea of this. You get great flexibility in less equipped stadiums with a gimbal or in this instance ptz and this is the top of the line Sony solution. Seen these used professionally recently in stadium shots replacing the spidercam systems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 3 hours ago, Bairn to Believe said: Over 4500 already bought for Saturday. Tickets really shifting now. Only a handful of tickets left in Blocks A and F. Block G going down nicely and obviously Block H not on sale yet (the rest pretty much sold out). Don't think that will be needed but should pretty much fill every other section for a home crowd of over 5k 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blame Me Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 51 minutes ago, Raybowski89 said: ... Maybe they could help organise tickets for folk who have fallen on hard times... The Foundation and club setup an initiative "Support our Bairns" to help groups etc who required support to attend matches, which I assume is still operating. IIRC it was an option when buying ST online at some stage. There hasn't been any update since 2022. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
