Last I heard on Monday was that the NS had less than 20 tickets left. Assume sold out now mate. 

That’s some effort.

Just went on the ticket site to add a North Stand ticket but says sold out. Are the club waiting for another section to open or have we taken up our full allocation for that stand?

They were down to the last 50 a day or so ago, but we’re showing sold out last night. Think your left with West or South stands, as a choice.

Great segment with big Peter Grant on Falkirk Daft. Very articulate and insightful guy. A shame that his injuries basically killed any chance he had of playing at a higher level. You could see this season when he played for Clyde that he has a footballing brain but just doesn’t have the legs. I reckon he’ll make a good coach if he decides to go down that route. 

Obviously he’ll be remembered for that cup final goal, but for some reason I always remember one he scored away to  Partick Thistle in the league cup the following year.

If Donaldson, Hendo or Mckay knew how to attack the ball in the air like PG did we'd be a huge threat from corners. Grant went for a header like his life depended on winning it.

Remember a goal at Hibs pre cup semi final too. He was a great lad.

Was very like big yogi attacking headers, totally committed and aggressive when attacking the ball but could also jump well and just hang in the air giving themselves an extra few inches in hight.

Anybody remember a game at TFS not long after PG returned from his long term injury and he went down holding his leg and banging the ground? Everybody thought he'd done it again, the physio was ready to sprint on only for the big man to get up and run back into position.

Agreed. Peter was outstanding for us and looked like he could play right at the top until his injury. 

No matter how his career ends, he’ll always  be greatly remembered for what he gave to the jersey and that goal in the final. Great to hear him discuss his memories from that period. Has me buzzing for Saturday.

He’s one of the players that a long-term injury getting in the way of his career actually upset me. From the second he came in, you could tell he really fucking cared. It’s quite rare you get these players coming in who just play for the badge from day one, but he was one of them. Obviously wasn’t the same after he came back after his injury and it’s a real shame how his career has panned out - I reckon he’d have gone on to captain us and probably even bigger and better things had the injury not happened.
