Springfield Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I’ve used Greaves since they’ve came together with club, and it’s easier geographically. Happy to get to get the limited top with no fuss. However think it’s better to be registered with account. Also think the club missed a trick on the amount sold, going by a few FB pics of the amount queueing at shop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing here, but it might have been a way of getting rid of the remaining stock left over at the end of the season. Whether more could have been made would I suppose depend on lead times and minimum order numbers. It might not have been feasible bearing in mind that we'll be releasing new kits shortly, probably around the time the team return for preseason training in June. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 It was initially pencilled into be 150 before they upped it to 300 if I remember correctly. Suppose the whole concept of “limited edition”, manufactured scarcity etc is that some folk will miss out. Not a big deal for me as I was never going to get one, but I do think only 100 online when we have a big support not all living in Falkirk is a bit unfair, so understand why some folk are a bit put out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brockers61 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I was in the club shop at 11 o'clock and they had approximately 20 tops left so might be worth a call or a visit if you live locally to see if there are any still remaining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t a completely different top though with a bespoke embroidered badge etc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. There are some embellishments to the badge but it's just the regular home top from what I can see. Edited April 29 by Blame Me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latapythelegend Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 My choice would be to play McGinn at the back however not as a flat 4. Ask Mackie to sweep behind and simply just have Yeats and McCann playing a little narrower to kill any space in between. Harms us a little going forward we should have enough without the need to over commit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Blue Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Hard to argue that's been a stellar season from the Bairns, guided by the steady hand of John McGlynn. Got me thinking back to Queens similarly stellar season in the 3rd tier back in 2012/13 ... P W D L F A GD Pts 2012/13 QOS 36 29 5 2 92 23 69 92 2023/14 Falkirk 35 27 8 0 94 26 68 89 So the Bairns are on course to equal our points tally and probably beat the GD figure too as well as probably being invincible for the season. Not a huge gap between the two club performances between those two seasons though. I'm not sure what the overall record finish is for the 3rd tier. Not sure how the goals have been spread throughout the Bairns team but that season Queens had Nicky Clark on red hot form scoring 33 I think in the league and 41 across all competitions ... we also beat Thistle to lift the Diddy Cup in extra time mayhem at a sold-out Almondvale. Changed times for Queens ... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly a much bigger achievement from ourselves and Queens to reach those tallies without the 8-figure wagebill though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, had to be them, and as you rightly point out it's not really a like-for-like comparison given their massive degree of over-entitlement relative to their opponents.

AriG-FFC Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 My good lady managed to secure me the new top online. I had considered going and queuing after my Nightshift. However I decided against that being somewhat gubbed this morning. Really chuffed to get it. Hopefully it arrives in time. It will be worn once and then framed for my man cave! The wife took great pleasure in informing me that I have blown a fortune on tops this season. Training top, Zip warm up top, away top and The Blazer homes white top for the laddie. Away top for my lassie Heritage top and now Champions top for me! Seems perfectly reasonable to me! Got to be said tho O'Neills gear has been different class this season. Really impressed with all of it! Good to see the club gaining out this new deal! Bring on Saturday! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Queens fan I don't want to put a downer on our 2012/13 achievement but, iirc we were the only FT team in the division and I would say the part time teams weren't as strong as nowadays. Also iirc we dropped points at Albion Rovers when the title was clinched as the players were more concerned with trying to set up chances for Nicky Clark to reach top scorer rather than concentrating on winning the game. Apart from a poor Queens team the division is stronger this season. Edited April 29 by Fae_the_'briggs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from a poor Queens team the division is stronger this season. I was just about to post this. Looking at what you beat it certainly is not as strong as the league we have just won, saying that 92 points is terrific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeStreetWalker Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 O'Neills will have had a good season as well and been well above their sales projection. They like all manufacturers will have a pricing structure dependent on volume so we should get a few more % off our stock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge of allan bairn Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Only 88 tickets left for Saturday. Still flying out. At this rate they could be sold out by tomorrow. Especially when the club twitter/marketing comes back on stream tomorrow to promote the last few tickets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
