HopeStreetWalker Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Saturday will be a memorable occasion whatever the result and a season that will be remembered for a long time. Fans attending will record bits of the game and each from a unique seat and view. We have all seen little snippets fans have posted during the season all the better for it catching the moments. The club should open an archive where fans can lodge their own bit of history cross-referred to the seat number for posterity. Attached to Falkirk TV's recording.

18BAIRN76 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) Said it before but only season I didn’t renew was the Sheerin/Holt/Deans shitshow as by then I’d had enough of the inept leadership, terrible appointments and arrogance emanating from the club at that point. As soon as Deans, the rest of the board and Holt got booted, I went back. It was terrible, but I did feel somewhat vindicated in my decision at the time, especially around the time of *that* Q&A. Genuinely thought going bust was a possibility at that point given the way we were headed. What an effort to turn it around by everyone involved.

Bairnardo Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I'll be buzzing to try and get through the 90 unbeaten but I do think ultimately, with the league over weeks ago, first and foremost I just feel like Saturday will be my own wee chance to stand in the stadium, reflect on a frankly, magnificent season and inwardly say thankyou to all involved for giving us this season, on the back of what must have been a near self inflicted aneurysm at HT in Airdrie. I say inwardly, but I drunkenly told Callumn Morrison he has given the town its pride back, so maybe i'll be a bit loud..... 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly wasn't fun going to the football and some of the shite on display actually made me start to believe I could have been a player in spite of my total lack of talent. Hopefully this season has won a few back, I've just renewed my season ticket this morning and hopefully there will be many more new ones as well as renewals to go with it. I can't get to all home (and away) games due to other commitments so have been paying at the gate when I can go. Despite this continuing to be the case I bought 2 season tickets this morning so that JM has my cash for the close season war chest. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effeffsee_the2nd Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Me and my mate were the only 2 of our wider circle of friends who went to the semi final in 2015. Up until we scored it had been an absolutely dire affair, my mate ( who's had a season ticket since he was about 5) turned to me halfway through the second half at 0-0 and said " I honestly don't think I can pay money to watch this shite any longer" even after we'd won there wasn't a whole lot of buzz around Hampden as it looked like we'd just be turning up to get pumped in the final. It was only the following day when Inverness beat Celtic, that cup final fever really hit and we had a bus load of folk going, some of which were going to their first ever football match. anyway, it's a funny old game football 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating Hibs at Hampden with Alston crossing to Sibbs will forever be one of my all time Falkirk memories.

GunnerBairn Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 ST renewed for KM7 stand. Enjoy trophy day and season 24/25 when it arrives Bairns! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FK1Bairn Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Bought my first ST for myself and my son online about an hour ago for the KM stand. My missus was in the club shop with her dad who prefers doing everything in person and paying cash, apparently 800 people had bought ST'S online this morning and 100 odd in person in the shop. The figures were quoted as being for the KM stand only but I reckon at least some of those would be main stand. Still 900+ sold on the first day is damn good going 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the game was absolutely dire and it seemed like a matter of time before Hibs scored. I watched it at home but was running round the living room like a kid on blue smarties when Sibbs scored 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBairn Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Loved that game and one of my all time favourite Falkirk games. Edge of my seat and shouted myself hoarse. Sibbs legend in the sunshine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only had 2500 Falkirk fans at the first home game of 11-12 and that number stayed very similar until Houston came in- just over 2000 for some matches and only 3600 for the 2014 play off against Hamilton. We have not been close to those lows since, even though the product on the pitch has been far worse at times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be it harsh lessons learned or a change in Club leadership, or a combination (and a fair share of pain along the way) - we’re finally back on track. Long may it continue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
