Looking at what you beat it certainly is not as strong as the league we have just won, saying that 92 points is terrific. I think it's difficult to be sure of that from just looking at a list of the teams. The Alloa team which finished second was much better than the current side, a point they emphasised by comfortably beating Dunfermline in the playoff final (winning the first leg three nil even with a missed penalty). They also went on to spend three years in the Championship, beating a very good Hamilton side twice. 3 hours ago, ShaggerG said: Not sure why McInnes or Docherty should be considered any more than, say, Naismith or Robinson? Also, as much as it pains me to say it, if Sevco win the treble, then it would be hard to argue against Clement being on the short list. If, however, a manager manages to have his team absolutely skoosh the league, while remaining unbeaten and beating teams from the league above (including said champions of that league) then the winner should be fairly obvious. McGlynn 100% deserves to win it IMO. 3 hours ago, Skyline Drifter said: That Queens team might have had a chance to go invincible but were undone in a midweek rearranged game on a clearly frozen pitch at Alloa when a daft penalty saw them win 1-0 in the 2nd quarter of the season.

Then Airdrie went bust, McCall arrived and a new golden age for the club began. Tony Docherty was a community coach when Alex Totten was in charge. Did he not take that role over from Houston? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When McCall arrived at Falkirk to take the managers role in 2002 Houston appears to have been assistant to Craig Levein at Hearts. A quick online check shows that he want to Hearts in 1995 along with Jefferies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Tony Docherty had the same role under McCall as he did under Totten? Edited April 30 by LatapyBairn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMBairn Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 With the season tickets on sale tomorrow do we know if it's better for the club from a tax point of view to pay the extra £60 or to increase the FSS payment. It's probably been discussed on here already but I can't remember. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure FSS money will make up part of the playing budget for next season as would the extra £60 if you paid it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, FSS might be the best route for any additional funding. Happy to be corrected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I prefer the FSS route and recently upped my monthly payment so I won’t be paying the extra £60 but each to their own.

Many fans I’ve no doubt will help with contributions to both the FSS & extra to the STs. Really hoping that there’s a decent uplift in the FSS as there’s a brilliant atmosphere around the club and players, and there’s no better time to get the message across to potential new fans that have attended the games since the start of the year. Must be doing something right as a few fans in the Glasgow Greaves store asking about limited tops etc earlier today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree totally, doesn’t matter how the money is going in as long as it gets there. Would be great if we could improve the ST sales. If absent fans aren’t tempted to return after the superb season we’ve had and the feel good factor around the club then they never will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably been discussed on here already but I can't remember. I don't actually know. The £60 might be seen as a voluntary donation and therefore wouldn't (?) be subject to VAT. FSS contributions are not subject to VAT and will also go towards the same pot as the £60 increase. Echo what others have said. Purely in terms of getting money into the football budget it doesn't matter which avenue fans go down. Of course, there are other benefits to putting money in through the FSS (increased subscriptions given more weight to the group etc). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of guys who are great fans but disillusioned and gave up STs going on Saturday. Just need to get them redirected from golf, garden centres and wife’s. (not sure what’s the most dangerous ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
