Guest Caractacus Potts Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, knee jerk reaction said: The club should be looking to improve everywhere, on and off the pitch. I don't see how people could say a couple of years ago the club's a mess on the pitch and off, it look at the team, the communication and the website but now say the website is rubbish but don't worry no-one goes on it. Any cup game not covered by season and I'm on website for tickets same as a lot of fans, it is or should be a good tool for the club to use or promote itself. Any visitors to the kelpies or Falkirk area wanting to watch us would probably go on the website so it's worth getting it right. On the pitch there's been a definite improvement and hopefully that'll carry on into tonight and Saturday. This for me. I get we all want to pull together but I would think those of us that are critiquing things are not doing it to cause division but to help the club improve in every area. With that in mind, I just noticed that Harry Burgoyne and Zak Rudden are no longer on advertising the hospitality! It’s good timing since he could be lining up against us tonight. It’s good to see the club are listening. Long may it continue and let’s hope the next picture of Rudden on the site will be him on the losing side after tonight!

And does it have a FFS shirt on? 5 hours ago, Bainsfordbairn said: To the last question, yes it does and it's gorgeous. I noticed it on Saturday. If that isn't the best argument for the white shorts/white socks argument, then I don't know what is? Put it in the current full kit & nobody would have noticed it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Stunning dog, glad to see it's on a lead otherwise it might run on the park and outperform Jamie Wilson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wasn’t fit, I don’t think they would have included him in the squad. If he is there, he has to be first choice. Big difference coming on in the 72nd minute and playing from the start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClathyDave Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Afternoon all. I have a mate who is doing a work project on Scottish teams. He asked me if I knew what rent we pay to the council for TFS, I don’t have a scooby so I thought I would ask here. Does anyone have an idea on the figures? Cheers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalWolf Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I think Henderson will start in the middle and will probably get 45 - 60 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no simple answer to that question! The ownership structure is quite convoluted. We don’t pay any rent to the council, only service charges if using parts of the internal main stand which they own most of. We do pay rent for the south stand to Sandy Alexander, think it’s in the region of 60k per year. The north stand the club own and don’t pay anything for it although the land is technically owned by the council and leased back to the club at no cost, it’s the same situation with the pitch which the club own also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopeStreetWalker Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 11 minutes ago, ClathyDave said: Appreciate the responses gents! The club own the pitch but not the land it sits on. The club own seats but not the grandstand they sit on. The council charges the club running costs which knowing the council will be well loaded. Goodness knows what % of administration costs gas, electricity and other service charges are. That is money going out the club. It would be better used as being added to the mortgage payment. Find out the value of the stadium, car park and surrounding land. Arrange funding to buy it and develop the facility not only paying the off the loan but adding to team funds. The Council is always girning about funds so a one off casher there's good bet they bite our hand off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your either fit to play from the start or not fit to play. Let him have a run out for 60 mins to get his fitness and speed up, then hook him if he is knackered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Henderson in for McGinn indeed.Otherwise unchanged from Saturday.Looks like McGlynn sees Burrell and Lawal as impact players which could be good if the game is tight later on.I think it’s a about as good as we could get for this one…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalWolf Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I think going in on a 3 match winning run it would be hard to change it. I appreciate its a cup game. I think we will see pretty much the same team until subs are absolutely needed to turn the tide of a game we aren't winning (assuming no more injuries). Then maybe he'll change it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
