But if no takers, it’s good there is now an option to give back to the club to re-sell. Especially for those in the KM. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people called for this system to be brought in given that demands outstrips supply. Win-win - Bairns get a chance to sit in the KM Stand when they otherwise wouldn’t and FFC might get a wee bit extra funding. Of course folk will give their ST to mates first but not everyone has mates who want to take them up on it, and not everyone has a mate with an ST they can borrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to quote one of my own posts but I have just realised than when we play Hearts on 17th August, 21 years after the game above, they could have the same keeper in goals. Somebody should check Craig Gordon's attic to see if he has a portrait stashed away there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only increase in money we would get is if was on TV ie Premier Sports 1 or 2. How much do they charge for PPV? Surely PS don't keep all the revenue, nobody in their right mind would agree to that deal if its the case! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 One of the good things about the ticket return thing is for folk who have U12 season tickets. Let's face it, loads of folk would take them because they are free and are only.used occasionally. I personally would pay for one for my kid if they cost money but ultimately, it doesn't get used every home game and so I can return something the club have away for free and they will get paid for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt there will be winners and losers in such a deal but just seems mental as all these games on PPV will affect attendances costing clubs a fair bit, will the increase in prize money cover that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't charge anything for ppv games, they are streamed on their app to Premier Sport subscribers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 3 hours ago, Salvo Montalbano said: Blackout rules only apply for certain dates, when over 50% of top two divisions are playing iirc. So these games must be outwith the blackout. Yes there are blackout windows but I didn't think they were within the dates. For example last season the blackout was in place August 5, 2023 - September 2, 2023 September 16, 2023 - October 7, 2023 October 21, 2023 - November 11, 2023 November 25, 2023 - December 2023, January 12, 2024 - March 16, 2024 March 30, 2024 - April 20, 2024 So last season the second round was on basically the same weekend but the blackout was very much in place. I wouldn't have thought it would be any different this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If demands outstrips supply then there is the basis of a business plan to build a 4th stand / hybrid-terracing-stand Ayr United style / terracing. Its a matter of balancing cost - type - capacity - how often its filled to make it viable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame Me Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Just listened to The Terrace podcast lower-league preview and the Falkirk section was a roller-coaster! Began nodding along in agreement and ended up settling on the pair of them are talking sh*te Overall, I think their final prediction is about right but the preamble to get to that conclusion was a mix of pre-conceived BS and 3rd-hand knowledge.

StuartA Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 As much as I’ve always wanted a new stand, it’ll take more than a season or two in the Prem to give us the financial stability to do it. Though the “Keelan Adams Stand” might not be out the question after Pep sees him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ethos of my post is if there is a track record of sell outs then there could be a viable self financing way to complete the stadium. Worth the board have something banked should that opportunity present itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree it would be great to complete the stadium that goes without saying but I wish we had totally focused on the football side of the business when were relegated and all the years after. I’m absolutely sure if we shown more emphasis on the park particularly just after relegation we would have not witnessed the demise over the last decade Edited July 31 by bejazz1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blame Me Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Feel like allowing some form of standing should be explored. The experience of Edinburgh City and what they've been allowed to get away with could allow some extra capacity without too much permanent infrastructure being required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
