Best chance of promotion is going straight back up and yet they are stuck with hopeless big dunc as they can't afford to fire him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they must be looking up and out their stadium and over the bridge and wishing they had a “Roy” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Partick actually sold 2,750 STs by the start of last season, that figure of 3,000 was from December and included half season tickets. That's still a good total tbf, but they need to sort out the way they record attendances. Why tell sponsors they'll be advertising to an average of 3.5k people a week when you can tell them it is 4k? Even the useless diddies that used to run our club understood that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 It would not surprise me if Falkirk managed back to back promotions if your player recruitment is right. Especially with the number of season tickets sold already. Nothing to fear in that league. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he means because we're only meant to be getting another 2/3 signings it makes the Ross resigning look unlikely.

Got a horrible feeling the Pars will do well this year too. It's gonna be a blockbuster anyway, every single week will be winnable/loseable! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's it. We've got 18 signed just now, which obviously rises to 19 with a loan goalkeeper. They've said a squad of 20 or 21, so If we resign Tait and Ross then that's us done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They maybe talking about permanent signings. Ross, Tait would be two plus perhaps one other then loan signings after that. I seem to remember last season them saying that was it and then bisland came in end of August and Ross came in loan in September.

Bisland came in last day of the window too. I would presume a lot will depend on how the young right back gets on in pre season too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Duck Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 11 hours ago, Nightmare said: Agreed, the Colin Weir Stand isn't great to watch football from. We've started putting the smaller away supports in the north end of the JH Stand again, which is better in just about every way, but if you're bringing more than about 500 then you'll be in the CW Stand - which you lot almost certainly will. It’s not the view of the game, that’s fine. It’s internally. When there’s a reasonable number of fans there it is insanely cramped, you can’t move anywhere and the wooden nature of everything gives me the fear. Despite the proximity and the decent away day it’s likely the only ground I won’t go to this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to know it’s someone else who’s being pointed and laughed at. I listened to the fans pod cast and they are going through a lot of what we did but at least we didn't move our training over 100miles away from the club. Have to say its worth a listen and John from Falkirk Daft makes a guest appearance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be one of the few that actually quite enjoys sitting in that stand, it’s probably a nostalgia thing as it’s not to different to the old wooden stand at brockville. It even creates noise that only those old wooden stands can. I don’t mind the thing at all, even the pillars don’t really bother me but again it probably is just more for nostalgic reasons as opposed to any logical thinking.

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 My main complaint about the old stand at Firhill is the stench of pigeon shit/ dead pigeon. Other than that I quite like it, though I do prefer to watch football from behind the goal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure, McGlynn's mentioned before he only has a matchday squad of 20 and the whole quality over quantity so I'd imagine the loans are included in that number. Might well depend on how well McGlynn works the loans but Tait won't be cheap so there won't be much budget to work with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Roar Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 (edited) When you hear that the budget is up 20%, that’ll include the contract renewals and any promotion increase clauses, a lot of that spend will be spent it’s effectively the same squad as last year, so if any extra season ticket money brought in could make a major difference, so if you can get a season.

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 (edited) If there's anyone that can work a bit of magic in the loan market it's John McGlynn. I'm sure the loans won't be considered 'extra' to the squad size though Hopefully strong ST sales allow us to push the boat out and run with a squad of 21, especially as I think it is fair most would see Harry Stone Dylan Tait Ethan Ross or an other New Striker Plus Jordan Allan leaving which = 21 total 200 extra STs would be roughly £40,000 or enough for that extra player. Really could make all the difference Edited May 30 by NavyBlueArmy1876 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
