As I can mind it wasn't just the state of the pitch that made the club want to change but the cost of up keep, especially the undersoil heating which would cost thousands to run only for a game that would attract 3000 fans in January. so canny see them putting all that back in if that would cost a fortune, we'll probably go bust after paying full time wages in league 1 next season anyway. Put that new pitch indoors, or even just a roof and some windbreaks and your onto a winner, there's nae full size indoor 4g parks for miles, there's only 4 five aside parks at coasters and there always rammed in the winter time. Standing along the east touchline would be very popular I think. but it would take people away from the 2 stands , the main stand already has noticeable gaps in it. no new people will turn up ( That "if you build it they will come" is a lot of pish 90% of the time) If we got promoted then we could always just give generous ticket allocations to well supported teams, at least until we were entertaining enough that there was more demand for the home end. unfortunately that's a non issue since we are fucking useless , we failed to get out a week championship before 2014 , we failed to capitalise on hearts hibs rangers and a cup final windfall, we failed to get promotion when we only needed a fucking draw at rugby park. we failed to hold onto a lead against an underperforming Dundee utd side. we then went and signed a buch of championship diddys sacked the manager, got a new one, horsed out the diddys and replaced them with super diddys. and all the while have put supporters to sleep with some absolutely dreadfull fitbaw for the last 8 or 9 years. i'd say the only way is up but when your bottom of the table with 0 points and only 1 goal ( from our only shot on target none the less) it might well be down! lets just leave hotels with stands till we've sorted out the team on the park. But everything else is ok, yes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presumed that one of the reasons we had the pitch was so that the foundation/comunity could get the use of it so it was busy every day and the club would be making cash from it. I suppose they must get free use of that facility then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness tho, the club would have a fair bit of potential with a decent board in charge. I don't know what the current mobs arrangements are. are any of them dedicated full time or do they all have other interest or are retired from their main proffesions? someone with newer and bolder ideas or someone who is a cut throat businessman (or lady) seems to have success at other clubs. we need to find a way to make as much cash as possible to get a team that are succesfull and one that folk want to come and see. because we already have a good sized support considering how gash we are. we aint getting any more in until theres a big improvement on the park Edited September 7, 2018 by effeffsee_the2nd 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That running along the length of the pitch with nothing more that some retro roofless loos and a couple of pie sheds would fit the bill perfectly. A capacity of 2,000 or so standing. Juicy. Gives the kids of the Falkirk area a chance to have a proper childhood. Too juicy! Froth froth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost of B A R P Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Artificial surfaces should definitely be banned from the second tier of professional football in Scotland.

I feel and share your pain -It seems to me you have lost faith in the Barnsley model identified as the route to nirvana by our committee and instead are hanging your hat on the Airdrie model which as i understand to be that we bin everything and anyone of value and repeatedly sign a bunch of ever-decreasing crap with the aim of becoming so bad that the fairweather support and directors abandon us. Leaving the field clear for a back to basics type local gangster to buy us from a dejected MR for buttons. Then said gangster can start throwing around wads of cash that he is trying to launder anyway to sign the modern day equivalent of Chris Waddle, Maurice Johnston, Simon, Tony parks, Andy Gray, some swiss skier for the cup final , an Austrian international for the reserve team and a couple of Italians who turn out to be waiters rather than players. In the meantime he can get us sponsored by Budweiser. Sounds like tremendous fun !! Does anyone remember when going to the games was exciting! As to your comment about the stadium capacity then I'm afraid that decision reflects badly on the committee as a four-year-old could have figured out we were rather too ambitious with our planning. A standing area would be an improvement as would a bunch of inflatable dolls (robo crowd ) on the empty seats, especially if we fitted them with speakers to sing along with were blue were white or xxxx xxxxx get to f--ck. ( the only two needed ). We could then take a patent on robo crowd sell it for millions and buy our way into the champions league. Sounds even better. Such inventive thought, however, does not come easily to our committee. Those who can do those who can't teach ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but when you're a ghost -- and of an isolated body part, no even a whole person, like -- decades and stuff like that don't matter. Get back to me when you've got some points to deduct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
