Guest Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) Having talked about other ways and means of supporting the club, I’m just doing a wee service for Mark who runs the Equity Bairns. Was briefly mentioned by @grumpyoldmanbut I’ll expand. The equity Bairns has been running for 7 years. Members sponsor shirts with any increments of £10 that they want to pledge. At the end of the season the shirts are then raffled for members to raise money for charity. Last year Equity Bairns sponsored 7 shirts, raising over £3500 for the club and over £1600 for different charities. He is currently taking pledges for this coming season so if you want to become a member then send an email to markj@bluewin.ch You can also follow the Facebook page to keep in touch with the latest details.

There is nothing wrong with the video IMO Other than being just some awful patter and a tad embarrassing there is nothing wrong with the video. This 'no bad publicity' line is fine from the point of view of the sponsor, but it just adds to the point and laugh nature that our club has become in relation to Scottish football. With the club still viewed as a bit of a laughing stock I'd be expecting Crunchy Carrots to cool it with the nonsense. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Just watched the video, absolute piss taker and exactly what the club needs after five years of shite. Great social marketing by CC. Need to carry monthly with follow ups, maybe referencing the players, just like Harry & Megan getting the piss taken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriG-FFC Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Forgive me if this has already been covered only dip in here now and again. Was speaking to a fellow Bairn at work and mentioned I was surprised that Lewis and the other fella from Falkirk TV, Stuart I think. Were leaving. He was saying he had heard they are going to do it for Queens Park now. Found that very hard to believe Lewis seems to be a bit of a die hard. Anybody else know what the score is? I personally thought they did an excellent job and will be a big miss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium announcer went to QP a few years ago maybe confused with that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Sensible Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) What’s Falkirk’s chances this season then? Without Dunfermline, clearly a much bigger club than Falkirk, but still a diddy club, you must have high hopes of promotion? I’ve always viewed Falkirk as a sort of yo yo club between the second and third tiers of Scottish football so it’ll be interesting to see how you do this season Edited June 13, 2023 by Captain_Sensible -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spoke with Target Events who advised that all who have purchased for the event have now been emailed an update & the new likely date will be in the last few months of the year. This will be the same with the Hibs events due to take place. The reason for the postponement may be shared by Target Events in the coming day or 2 but John & I are more than comfortable with the reasons behind the Latapy family not being able to travel overseas at this time. No probs. Thanks for that. Edited June 13, 2023 by Hartleys18/19Army 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally thought they did an excellent job and will be a big miss. Lewis and I are friends and I've spoken to him at length about his reasons for leaving. There are a few different ones, some of which have had greater impact on his decision than others. They're obviously personal to him so I won't go into details but I'm certain there's no danger of him going to Queens Park. We actually had a long chat about it and other things at the stadium this morning. I was there for the strip video / photoshoot (not a signing before anyone asks) and he had an involvement in it, though not from a TV perspective. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is putting in good money, he is entitled to gain as much publicity as possible. He is not doing it merely for the good of his health. Without the support of these sort of companies we don’t have a club. As mentioned earlier someone said that it is a CC video, not the clubs. What has the Board done wrong here? Look at one of our competitors - hardly got any sponsorship https://twitter.com/fc_edinburgh/status/1668694239406858265?s=12 Edited June 13, 2023 by Back Post Misses 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
