Toby Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Getting help from your local council, fcukin glorious. How's the Ton's relationship with theirs? Could be worse- they stepped in to veto Hugh Scott's plans to sell Cappielow for anything other than recreational purposes and in the process scuppered his plans to shut the club down. Thanks for asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Nederlander Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 yeah it needs re-doing, and the club can't afford to, it all sounds so familiar That bit was never 'done' - it's the previously pebbled area that is now primarily used for the Helix. It's got f'ck all to do with the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the Helix?So it's not the bit of wasteland they charge us to park in at the away stand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Getting help from your local council, fcukin glorious. How's the Ton's relationship with theirs? Well they stopped an asset stripper selling the ground, that for most clubs counts as a big service. Not of course by Falkirk's incestuous and taxpayer-ruining relationship with the council though. I guess we'll cope with that, champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we gave the prime site of brockville to a supermarket who were desperate to take it ..as a club we got seriously fucked financially over that deal...a simpleton like yourself though seems to think there was some sort of deal going on...what's your evidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a simpleton like yourself can see that, surely? And could you now provide evidence as to how Falkirk were "financially fucked" by Morrisons' deal to buy Brockville? This should be good...

Yes, it has been discussed, and is sufficient evidence (as requested) that Falkirk have benefitted from public money being used to build them a stadium.

The club or the council? "F*** all to do with the club" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowdenConvert Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Should it really cost around £2k per parking space? Sounds like some dodgy builder is ripping off the tax-payer. Bet Falkingham could have tarmac'd it for a fraction of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The car park being upgraded, on a match day, is used by permit holders only (home fans). The rest of the time it's used by anyone visiting the Helix/Kelpies. Council obviously felt it needed upgraded from loose rubble to mono block. The away car park behind the north stand I believe will remain as is. Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris. Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Thanks Zen, so it is the area used for visiting fans No. That area in the picture (and what is being upgraded) is primarily used for home supporters. The away parking area is directly behind the away stand and to the right of it in that picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril 1.How much are the permits then and where does the cash go?2. So the away parking stays as loose rubble then?
