RC55 FFC Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I expect a tight game. They haven’t lost many goals so far, that said, they haven’t faced our front 3 so far either so will be interesting to see. I can’t see them trying to play silky soccer as John McGlynn would say and will likely come to frustrate and hit on the break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago On the back of the talk on FD about Liam Henderson not having a proper song I've used my extremely limited acoustic talents to come up with the below. He plays centre mid, he plays centre back, Liam Henderson, starts the Falkirk attack. There's also the Scotland McTominay's magic song that could be tweaked but I've not got any futher than the below. Henderson's a baller, he loves the navy blue, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find strange is the ladies team seem to be struggling for cash, wearing hand me down old training/warm up gear, they are being run by the foundation which is separate to the club yet the club is giving it big licks about 'our teams in action this weekend' . If it's 'our' teams then bring them in house and look after them properly, help with transport costs, training gear etc. Would it really cost that much? Our crowds are up 1000-1500 per home match over budgeted cash you would think Nah not for me. As I said wouldn't be long before people would be complaining about the men's team being paid more than them and why do they have better equipment etc. Much prefer it separately funded. I wouldnt want the men's team to take any of their funding away or vice versa but the women's game needs to stand on its own two feet and not piggy back off the men's game. They are advertised as a Falkirk side but not our side as far as I can see and they're very separate Facebook page is linked to so it's excellent that the club are giving them a bit of publicity. I'm sure they would be happy to advertise any separate funds raising initiatives they have too. Edited 2 hours ago by Shodwall cat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk Football Club is a community club and for no outlay helps with their profile and publicity. That is banked goodwill from all those involved with these organisations. The more sports that have a good relationship with the club the better as that rubs off on family and friends of those involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course and I'd hope that the ladies team have a good relationship with the club . Certainly haven't heard otherwise. Club should do all it can to help them promote their games etc. Perhaps the best way would be to ask the fans if they are happy for some of the money they have invested in the men's side to be invested in the women's. I'm always happy to go with the majority view. Edited 2 hours ago by Shodwall cat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Hillshaveyes Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I've had a season ticket for FFC for 30 odd years (missed a few)..the understanding being it was for mens football on a Saturday. It's now considered modern & fashionable to agree we should be helping another team run outwith the traditional mens setup. If we were asked to pay more or alternatively told a percentage of our season ticket was going on anything other than that I would relinquish it immediately as I have no interest in funding something that is not professional mens football 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I think there's a big difference between 'donating' a couple of grand for kits and a bus for away games for the womens team so they can represent the football club without being out of pocket, and funnelling in the kind of money that would actually impact our playing budget. No one is suggesting the latter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS Without knowing the ages of people on here, there appears to be a real generational divide on whether we should be funding the women’s team. As far as I am concerned, it should be one Falkirk FC and it should be finding mens, women’s kids…the lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
