Jim Leishman balloons.

Thought of including them but it’s more of a release than a throw. There’s no debate on who lobs the more creative stuff though. Have to concede that one to our three-standed pals.

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.

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'?

Maybe this is why you struggle to sell as many tickets?

Stand holds 3300 I think, certainly holds a wee bit more than 3000 I'm sure. 

 

It looked about 1800 ish, maybe. Understable you'd use that photo because the quality is a bit glum. 

But the end sections got emptier. 

That number I got from Pars database, (they have main stand 3089, behind each goal 3016, NE 1205 & NW 1189) which I assumed was accurate and gives 11.5k. I've seen that capacity quoted a lot since the lower seating in the main stand was all converted to hospitality boxes so those figures per stand would make sense - though they might be wrong? Didnt realise there was a better photo, tbf there arent a lot of gaps and the section on the far left is pretty overcrowded. I'd still say closer to 2k than 1800 but I guess we'll never know

The away end holds slightly more at EEP due to the tunnel. 

 

Also, we've won our last 3 visits to Falkirk scoring 8 times in those, we're clearly the better team.

Even with the "Home Advantage" of your 50 or so fans cheering you on, you couldn't beat a transitioning, recovering Falkirk side at EEP in September.

Now we're a bit further down the road, and you're coming to get a skelping.

heads gone 2 days before the game.

Reading through this thread, our 3 stand leasing petrochemical fuelled friends seem awfully excited and and bullish about this game.  All that nervous energy might get to their players and they won’t live up to the pressure.  Of course McGlynns been here before in similar situations versus the Pars, never seems to end well for him.  Has a habit of choking when it gets to the big occasion.  Falkirk REALLY need to win, while we can afford a draw.  What’s the odds on a 0-0…?

Any stats on what’s been sold so far 

I reckon we're on around 4,900 at the moment and the Pars have shifted 1,600-1,700 so far

Beating that Hartley/McKinnon team doesn’t count imo.

All the pressure is on Falkirk for this game. Potentially a sell-out home crowd against your biggest rivals, a chance to close the gap and make a real statement on the campaign. Not forgetting that Falkirk are currently the form team in the division, (same form points as us hoofballers) but apparently playing nice football. Rumour has it we're just turning up for a thumping, anything less than three points is a disaster surely?

Can only beat what's in front of you. At least four of your wins came under Stephen Kenny's reign.

You realise no one is actually being serious when talking about one sided thumpings..... yes?

Speak for yourself. If we score less than 7 before half time, I will be seething.

Didn't actually expect anyone to bite but I hope you enjoyed your lunch.

Tbf I sort of agree there is real pressure on us to win this one 

Dunfermline aren't dropping many points so catching them at a rate of 1 every 10 games isn't going to win us the league. Obviously those 2 losses to Kelty were absolute sickeners but I wouldn't trust us not to do it again. Saturday is a massive chance to make a statement (not a question) and finally build some proper momentum

I am actually making the game as i insisted my wife had a weekend away at the caravan with her pal.

“her pal”, eh? Not gonna see Andy sitting in Polo, outside a caravan park that night, with a Bell’s and a .38 are we?

Clyde don't come out of that table terribly well.
