GiGi Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I mean it would be great if the club could somehow come up with a couple of million quid to bring Cappielow up to the standards Falkirk fans would set but not everyone is lucky enough to get outside help with their stadium.

GiGi Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 ????????????actual tears^^^^???????????????? lulz teh fihsing trip nice b8 m9!!1 These are just the facts of the matter. Improving or moving Cappielow costs money that the club don't have. That Falkirk didn't have either but thankfully for them they didn't have to. Same applies to St Mirren and a few other clubs who benefited in similar circumstances. As it is we still have a tremendous home terrace so the crumbling away end is of little consequence to me personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local council pumping taxpayers' money into your new ground after you managed to shift the old one to Morrisons isn't suffering, Gaz. Another £600,000 on the car park now I believe? It's strange how you lot "ten two" gloss over these things when going on about paying every penny of debt back and not going into administration to get out of trouble. Falkirk really are the Mick Philpotts of Scottish football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Nederlander Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Taxpayers' money didn't pay for your ground? The new ground build was funded entirely out of the sale of the old ground other than around £250k which came from the Lottery or Sportscotland (don't remember which) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Nederlander Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Or the new car park? 'New' car park ? The car park is being improved as part of the Helix project - it's a Helix car park for all but 18 days of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sale of Brockville Park amounted to £9 million pounds for the club, of which £2.8 million went towards the build, whilst £200,000 came from sportscotland."

Toby Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Falkirk Council's £3.1m came from the sale of Brockville. The new ground was funded by the sale of the old ground other than the £200k (not £250k as I had tought) So, the club made £9 million from the sale of Brockville, but only contributed £2.8 million? What did Falkirk Council make from the sale, and why? From that article, which specifically says the sale was worth £9 million to the club, it appears to me that they pocketed £6.2 million whilst expecting the taxpayer to foot a £3.1 million bill.
