I’ve already got my tickets now so will be in the main stand.  

Very sensible. You wouldn't want to catch something off a Fifer. 

You may well be the first Brentford fan to visit since this footage - albeit at our old ground Brockville

He’s also a bit slight for PL football and might need to bulk up a bit. But looks promising and very skilful. Not sure yet if he’ll be out wide up front or more central in midfield. He might get more time on Saturday with Toney suspended we will need some additional attacking options. Hopefully Damsgaard will play a fair bit in the WC. 

Shame, if you get to Falkirk early enough you'll catch the locals throwing some spears at the sun, all the best.

There's a Fife Bees flag at every game at the BCS, gives me a smile everytime I see it.

I remember this trip by the Beesotted lads and lasses. I think Farid El Alagui may have been the inspiration. Also remember the 4-0 thrashing of Fulham mentioned.

No this was an Eddie May/Richard Cadette thing back in the mid 90s.

Back when we used to sign Brentford players. How times have changed!

We went in and took Tommy McQueen from West Ham too.

Money really has killed football.

More than 1500 sold in the away end now. Which is more than the 1300 that Falkirk brought to East End earlier in the season. Good effort from the Pars fans, no doubt be close to selling out the north stand come Saturday.

How many does that end we have to sit in hold at EEP?

And if by 1300 you mean 1800-2000 then yes you are correct. Stand holds 3000 with 2150 of that in the upper tier, as you can see pretty much full. We'll almost certainly have more fans across the two games - isn't this when you usually trot out the line that this is because you 'don't care' and it's 'not a derby'?

If Falkirk don't win the league this season they can at least console  themselves with the Crowd Trophy, once again, as fans of teams in the leagues above them look on in envy, desperate to trade being in a higher league for having more fans.

To be fair, I wasn’t actually serious about the 1300. I just know Falkirk fans love a good crowd w**k and made up lies (like saying you had 2k fans there) after they came to East End. I’m pretty sure you had 1500-1600 there. There were a lot more gaps in the stand than a blurry picture from the other end shows.

If you have say 20 rows of 20 seats and average 15 people in each row, as long as the gaps aren’t in the same place in each row, that section will look full in a picture like that, despite only being 75% full. It was a good crowd you brought through. But it honestly wasn’t as high as you seem to think. There are a lot of visible gaps in the two sections furthest to the right and a few in other sections, which tells you the top section was nowhere near the 84% full that even your 1800 estimate suggests, never mind 2000 fans, which would be 93% full. There’s a few hundred empty seats in the section on the right alone. You brought a decent crowd, why not be happy/proud of that, rather than inflating the figures for your own egos?

"Falkirk fans love a good crowd w**k", then posts that inane drivel about the gaps in between seats in a stand . You've got to laugh.
