selfassemblyshire Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Stag do? Oh my. I suppose aswell that they can only take their hols when their employers will allow as they play for the love of the game at this level. Entertaining enough game just 3 silly goals. Stonewall foul for the 2nd but didn't see if it was a free kick/pen clearly. Looking forward to the Whitehill trip to hopefully make amends. However, the WW fans are lovely folk and the social club is tiny but really nice. Should be a good evening out. Few of us on the bus meeting for a couple jars at 3 if you fancy it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say I still think the penalty is actually outside of the box and the lads momentum when he goes down is what takes him into the box whilst the first goal is still a cracker and Tapping totally misjudges it for the third one. I'd forgotten about BSC hitting the bar as well but as the highlights show the away keeper just wasn't called into action enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millz Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Fair play to BSC they look like they will be a good side this year. Really poor performance from our point of view, some silly goals lost, gave away the ball too easily and failed to create much at all. Hopefully we will see a much better performance on Wednesday as with the strength of the teams around us we can't afford a slow start 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A drink before the supporters bus leaves. I'm working through the day so don't want to make a concrete commitment but can HOPEFULLY get away at a reasonable time for a refreshment. What pub you chaps going to? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire-SFC Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Any particular reason Mackin is lurking around? I'm sure I read before he was at a game last season. He's the last man you want anywhere near the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the last man you want anywhere near the club. He wants to redevelop the old firs park that he demolished then he wants us to rent it from him. Sounds like a great plan not!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not because falkirk council wouldn't grant planning permission for houses due to the way he conducted his business. I hope shire go back to a firs park but not under his ownership as the man can not be trusted. Any word from the board if they are considering it an option? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact that he was refused entry on Saturday tells you what the board think about it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Can understand why he got shown the door, but maybe he should have been asked what his asking price for the land would be? If it's useless to him as things stand he might not be that difficult to deal with where an outright sale is concerned.

Nimmo's Notes Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I'm sure there are Shire supporters who could meet his price, whatever that may be, but none that would be willing to give money to Mackin. Hopefully he'll never get a penny for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's useless to him as things stand he might not be that difficult to deal with where an outright sale is concerned. Its not just the purchase though - the place is a tip at the moment. It would need tens of thousands spent on it, at least. Even a one sided stadium like Dumbarton or East Fife isn't going to come cheap and then you'd have to get planning permission etc etc etc. And the Shire don't have that sort of money and as a Council Tax payer whose bins get collected once a month I cant see the local authority putting any money into it. Its nice to see Mackin hoisted on his own petard after what he did to the club. Edited July 31, 2017 by drs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverarover Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Have only being to firs park once as a raith fan. What condition are the terraces in. The issue would be the seating required but I suppose a temporary thing like at Hamilton or Alloa could do. Build a block of changing rooms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Is it not a total wasteland now? This was it some years ago: Presumably would need high tens, perhaps into hundreds, of thousands to turn that into a licensable football ground? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 These are from 5yrs ago. Has the land been cleared since? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luggy Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 This is what I personally don't understand to redevelop Firs would cost at least £750,000 for to then get £15,000 a season from us doesn't sound like a great deal for him, so there must be more to it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
