Just been reading through the programme from the Alloa game. The Coll Donaldson interview(nothing to do with him) doesn't read well at all. Ridiculous amount of mistakes in it. I'm not sure how the interview was conducted then put on to paper but surely someone must check all this out before print. Multiple other mistake throughout the rest of it as well. Anyway it's a souvenir of a good season. Wait till you read Leon McCann's article 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcastic Bairn Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Change of topic, I thought the idea of what Ayr were doing with the new stand behind the terracing sounded great. Just saw a pic of it and to me it looks meh, disappointed from this view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the optimist Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 They sold gnomes in the Portakabin shop at Brockville. Maybe your gnome's situation is more akin to that of the Windrush Generation. If he has all his paperwork, he'll be fine. I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the club have taken a proportionate approach here. I don’t think anyone (including fans) should be cashing in using the club’s brand and not giving the club any money. However, there are some products that the club is never going to offer (such as garden gnomes), which I don’t have an issue with others making. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s inevitable we will lose games next season but hopefully we will all cut the management and players a bit of slack and stay behind them. This is really important, almost a litmus test. Our fans have stuck by our club to the point that we saved it and now run it. Last season, the place was rocking every week, but we haven’t seen hardship for over a year. We have this bond with the team now, the likes of which I can never remember. It’s unique. If that holds when things do get tougher, then our players will appreciate it and who knows what might happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticks all the boxes. Completes the stadium Return of terracing Small rows of seating (counted 5 rows) therefore more personal and better access for people with mobility issues Hospitality boxes closer to the playing surface Cheapest option If the fans fill it, then we know the concept works and Falkirk can tweak the concept to suit their needs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seen this season even if we went a goal down (or 2 at Alloa) they keep making noise. That should be infectious. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeStreetWalker Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 4 hours ago, Numbers_One_To_Eleven said: I have reservations now on ‘wow’ signings after Ruben Sammut (Chelsea under 23s?? ‘wow’) and Leigh Griffths. And then, of course, there is the the “Dads Army” signings of 2008 that went against everything beforehand. So, just good, solid signings without a label will do me. Rightly so with these 'high profile' signings you mentioned, but there have been many that became iconic. Anyway, whoevers signed it's the anticipation on who is coming that helps get us through the closed season. Think McGlynn has got it all sorted already on who's coming in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt be so sure on that Kelty game at the TFS to the start of the season fella in the KM stand when Kelty scored shouted "McGlynn you've got one more game and you should be out on your arse" probably the same guy at the Alloa game when they went 2 nil still calling for McGlynn to go and should be embarrassed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will meet their corporate need aswell as adding to their seated capacity a little whilst keeping terracing. Will away fans still get access to the terrace along the wing to the left of the fence do we know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the existing barriers pass the safety certification and balanced against the costs of removal and replacement. You can understand the club's call to save the cash 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Just a reminder of the Invincible season. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Lot of defeatism around here lately. We have a young group of players who are improving before our eyes and who haven't reached their peak yet. The team spirit has by all accounts been genuinely great and they'll now have self-belief ingrained after an invincible season. Even at the arse end there, when we were down to our bare bones with injuries and suspension, they absolutely refused to give up and kept fighting. We've managed to keep most and possibly all of the main squad bar McGinn so we go forward with the same team. I don't want a "wow" signing who might upset the balance of the squad, I certainly don't want a Billy Big Baws type who might f**k up the feel-good vibes in our squad. This team is special, different from anything I've seen since I started following the club 15 years ago. They haven't achieved everything they're capable of yet. This is a double promotion side and who the f**k in the Championship can beat them? 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
