Let him concentrate on banging in 40 yarders. Playing holding midfield with Kyle Hutton will do that to a man 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molotov Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 It would seem that the SMISA vote on artificial pitches has caused a meltdown with Falkirk fans. They seem particularly upset by P&B site owner. Can’t see Div being that bothered. Hopefully this will see an end to the “love in” between the NB ultras and whether the Falkirk group call themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddie Holly Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 top league should have a four stand rule as well as a ban on artificial turf 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 While St Mirren upgraded their stadium at Love St to the Taylor report following Hillsborough other clubs failed to do so preferring to spend on players. Falkirk spent heavily on players back in the 90s while we upgraded our stadium. Brockville was heavily criticised by our fans when we took a decent away following there. St Mirren met the criteria for promotion to the top flight by introducing additional seat capacity in 99/00 as well as putting in undersoil heating while other clubs failed to do so. When we moved to the new stadium we had to adhere to the league rules and install two separate undersoil heating systems. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molotov Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 The real reason why so many St Mirren fans voted in favour of grass…… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 It would be unfair to jump on their thread as we might induce a mass “heids gone”. Let Div carry the can for this one! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kempes Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I fail to see how a ban on artificial pitches in our top division affects Falkirk. Maybe they should focus on staying in the Championship this season and not get ahead of themselves after finally managing to get out of Division one? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I worked in Falkirk for five years, and Falkirk FC were one of our customers. A great ‘wee’ club with lots of great people working there (I have told my Alex Totten story before, great ambassador for FFC). Have used an FFC season ticket before to watch games from their main stand, and act as a neutral. Good set of fans. In my book, Falkirk are like many of Scotland’s good clubs - decent punters who don’t follow the hordes to watch the uglies. Like your Ayr Utd, Morton, Dunfermline and so on fans. We need more like them in Scotland…. ….some of them are fcuking roasters though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfish Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 The funniest thing about this is that Falkirk DID dig up a perfectly good pitch. Their grass surface was arguably up there with the best in the country, before they went to astro. Yet more short-term thinking from them IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 My list of things to ponder this close season so far… 1. Who are we getting in the European draw on June 19. 2. Who will we sign for next season. 3. What will the new strips look like. (fast forward a few hundred thousand questions…) What do Falkirk fans think about anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a rutted mess by 2013. 51 minutes ago, Coventry Saint said: Was this the same time they canned their youth set up as well? No that was in about 2018. And that's not a very good 'gotcha' if that's your intention, as 99.9% of our fanbase were/are livid about that folly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Is this the same Falkirk who were paying Stainrod and Waddle a fucking fortune while playing in that absolute shit tip Brockville? When we were forced to seat the Northbank and build the PDE stand behind the love street goal, in order to have a Premiership standard ground ? Not many of the Falkirk fans giving a f**k about the bigger picture then. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
