Springfield Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Quick scan over the main stand, looking like it’s down to a few hundred seats available. Two days plus match day to go. We won’t sell out but why not make the NS PATG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairn in Exile Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I cannot wait to be able to fire up my laptop and then key in the four magic words: "pie and bovril championship". Took me a couple of seasons to get used to typing "pie and bovril league 1" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had Arnold Schwarzenegger from T2 on the front, and they replaced his top with that strip. Sitting on the motorbike, shotgun in hand, Falkirk top on and "The Bairnator" in bold writing on the top. I loved that T-shirt. It fell to pieces after a few months, though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe The Hype Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Anyone find any difficulty when phoning the club shop? Been trying for the past hour and just rings out and onto voicemail.

Blame Me Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 14 hours ago, Springfield said: https://falkirksupporters.org/2024/03/20/artificial-pitches-vote/ Onus clearly on SPFL to detail valid concerns as to why artificial surfaces should be ruled out especially after the Dundee debacle at the weekend. Additionally they will also need to suggest how they will fix the redistribution of funds1 so that clubs across the pyramid can replace or maintain grass pitches to the perceived "standard" that top-flight football deserves - in their opinion ... Think I'll be in for a long wait. 1 This as always is the crux of the matter - Players prefer grass but clubs can't finance both so it's either got to continue to be a blend of surfaces in the SPFL or only one type (grass) across the whole organisation, in my view. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. If the concern is oft alluded to, "safety" aspect with injuries then it would be frankly negligent to not extend the ban across all football. After all, we can't knowingly increase someone's chance of injury in good faith. But that would of course require data. This data does not exist though, because the problem doesn't exist. So we land on aesthetics (aka in this case, snobbery.) Except you will see SIGNIFCANTLY better football played on our new pitch than you will on any number of grass pitches in winter and we can include the top league in that (thanks Dundee for the recent evidence). So what actually IS behind this? It seems abundantly clear to me that it's quite simply all about the personal preferences (aka in this case, snobbery) of a few people at the top of our game. Ironically, one of whom dropped Scottish Football like a bag of hammers at the first sniff last time, and will either do so again, or be sacked having failed to meet the shrill, win everything demands of his entitled fanbase. That he is lashing out all over for excuses and dragging pitches into it should result in him being a laughing stock. And instead, we somehow find ourselves talking about a vote the punishes a huge number of Scottish Clubs. It's an absolute minter of a situation and very much like VAR, where we are currently seeing a widescale unification of fans that the juice is nowhere near worth the squeeze, any perceived gains from this (there really aren't any of not) are far outweighed by the damage sustained by member clubs of the SPFL. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PedroMoutinho Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Looks like Oliver has been signed up for next season. Wasn’t desperate to see him moved on but I do think the money could maybe have been used for another option in that position given he hasn’t been good enough to start in league 1, so I’m not convinced he’ll pull up trees a league up. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/gary-oliver-agrees-new-falkirk-32407464 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Well that's one of the three then. Presume Yeats and Hogarth are the others. Possibly Mackie? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
