TurbineTon Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 That's the reasoning, but not really a proper justification. What I'm trying to say is that they never allowed the decision to really come under real scrutiny. They should give a proper account of how much it actually costs in relation to the idea that it discourages away fans from travelling. If Falkirk really do bring a decent crowd, the message to them will be: show up a little bit late and you won't get stuck in the main stand. Can't say i disagree, but i have my stance based on the fact that we all know how stubborn Morton can be. No way in hell they'll provide anyone with a proper justification. The message that's always been put across is very much like i said; bring enough fans. Rightly, or wrongly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Wouldn't expect any less from the biggest diddies in the league. Be interested to see the wooden stand when all the pyrotechnics kick off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do an Ayr Utd (I know, you'll never say that again) and light them off, almost guaranteeing you'll not be in the main stand on your next visit.

vikingTON Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Game being relocated to a proper stadium, in Paisley Can see why relocating to an utterly pointless dump would appeal to Falkirk fans tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Seems crazy that you're definitely gonna need to split the away fans into 2 sections needlessly. No way we will have under 650 fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Yeah, as incompetent as Morton are there's no way they'd have taken this decision if they were told to expect more than 600 fans. Even if the WDE isn't ready, they'd give you a section of the Cowshed if that was the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 We haven't took less than 650 to an opening away game on my living memory so I doubt FFC would have suggested that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Splitting up less than 1000 fans into opposite sections of the ground seems a fairly pointless notion. Be easier and cheaper to just lump them all into the WDE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas Kelevra Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 That's the spirit! Mention a bit of pyro and I'm going in the Morton end. We'll end up behind the goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard of them doing that. It's like Morton are almost encouraging football banning orders shoving us in the main stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Non story really as there will most likely be circa 1000 Falkirk fans their on Saturday and the WDE will be open. As per the last visit in May 2014, when we had around 1200 at the game, it will again be a reminder that Greenock Morton should open that end to encourage fans instead of making folks minds up for them and punting them in the midget section.

The attendance was 1074, still would imagine more on Saturday than last season at Cowden I remember the figure at the time was around 750 Bairns fans at that game. I also remember some buses didn't travel as a lot can't stand Central Park. It's a hole. Whereas this weekend, the buses travelling are reportedly full and in 2 instances booking additional buses.
