    Players in the lounge after the game confirmed Morrison will be fine. McGlynn was raging with them & kept them in the changing room longer than normal after the game too. 

    They said they are determined to get back to a winning run from Tuesday & get this league won asap.

    dude, that's a wee bit of a cop out. i feel for you BUT you both pushed it big time, very excitingly did you do you due diligence, i heard from someone at the club they declined to be part of it wouldn't say why, perhaps you both need to be careful in future.

    Absolutely your opinion mate however not too sure it’s a cop out reply as we’ve been very open about the poor communication from the organiser since he postponed the original date and updated our position on the podcast (& on social media too) on a few occasions. Appreciate hugely it’s everyone’s hard earned cash on tickets (as I mentioned we bought for family too) so will do all we can from our side & continue to attempt contact but he has made that very difficult by ignoring emails & calls to his personal & business contacts. The club have even been trying, alongside ourselves, at resolving this as it’s Falkirk fans being effected (and I assume Hibs fans too for that matter as 2 nights were booked there). 

    Re due diligence, the organiser had put these events on previously and as far as we could see, without issue, so accepted the hosting of it gladly (or excitedly as you mentioned) and offered us competition prizes (tickets) to advertise, which we did.  

    You are correct too, that the organiser contacted FFC, as well as Hibs who took the booking to host at Easter Road, however unsure why it didn’t suit either FFC or the organiser. 

    Far from my ideal I know & we are doing what we can do (not a lot as hosts tbh) to help either get a new date confirmed asap or get refunds to us all.

    One for the Falkirk Daft guys, I know you were only hosting but wondering if you have any info-

    I take it the latapy ticket money is gone? I may have missed an announcement but this seems to have all been forgotten about. 

    Will be a lessons learned from me on regards to not jumping into early to these sort of events organised by a random company. 

    We continue to chase the organiser for updates on a new date. Very, very frustrating tbh and like everyone who bought tickets (ourselves included) if it’s not going to happen or he doesn’t know when (appreciate he’s having to work with Latapy to get him to the UK), refunds need to be offered. We’ll continue to try & get updates or a resolution 👍🏼. 

    Last time we (John) had a proper discussion with them was in November when John ambushed the guy in the stadium (the organiser is involved with Edin City).

    There is already a huge unused space on the second floor of the main stand, and smaller unused space in the first floor of the north stand. 

    An east stand would only offer roughly the same space as is available in the south stand, so not much.

    I'm sure the club commissioned a feasibility study which looked at all the non-footballing options from a financial viewpoint and nothing was viable. We could of course find uses for these spaces such as a larger club shop, museum etc but it would be a stretch to call these 'money-making' investments. The main stand space could increase hospitality capacity/ revenue, an east stand could increase that further but what we have at the moment generally seems to be adequate.

    Maybe the answer for the new stand could be some player accommodation so the club doesn't have to shell out for flats in the town?

    The thing that made most sense by a mile would have been Foundation-based use such as changing facilities, offices etc but that ship has sailed with them doing their own building. I just saw councillors are meeting next week to make a decision on rending them that land 

     

    The space in the main stand has been filled by the council I believe (it was theirs anyway) for office space now that the town hall has closed in the town. 

    I didn’t know the NS had a 1st floor? I’ve only been in there once or twice but can’t recall anything bar the catering & toilets.

    Just my opinion but the stadium needs finished, personally would love a terrace (or what Ayr are doing) as it would allow standing plus larger income from hospitality etc.

    The club don’t take all of the money from the corporate side on a match day with the council doing the food & taking the bar takings I believe. 

    It’s not an urgent job but when it can be done either by fundraising (FSS?) or through some sort of grant/sponsorship then it should be looked at. Premiership or not.

    How far does the land the club have extend? I wasn’t actually sure where the boundary was. Thought it might just have been in line with where the hypothetical 4th stand would sit and no further? 

    I’m not too sure tbh I just remember hearing a comment that the community pitch was on our land previously.

    Well the land has been cleared for it. Walked past it last week heading to/from the Montrose game!

    I can only take it the “Blast Zone” issue has vanished?🙄🤷‍♂️🤨

    Was only ever an issue when the BP wanted to build a chemical training centre or some such. Subject to planning permission, the club can build anything we want at the stadium footprint I believe.

    Hamilton are projected to finish on 69 points (based on 1.92 points per game). We are currently on 65 points, so given our superior goal difference we'd need just 1 win and 1 draw from our last 11 games to surpass that. The only way I see Hamilton's points per game ratio improving greatly is with a change of manager. 

    The way McGlynn seems to be looking at it is that we have a 17 point and significant goal difference advantage so effectively 18 point lead, or as he says a 6 game swing, with only 11 games left.

    If we continue to win an average of 2.6 points per game and Hamilton continue at 1.92 (their form is dropping as the season progresses) we'd win the league in approximately 5 games time - so 23rd March against Edinburgh at home. (2.6 points per game equates to 4 wins and 1 draw for us in next 5 games, 1.96 points per game for Accies equates approx to 3 wins and 2 losses, or 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss)

    It is possible we could win the league on one of the 2 televised games away to Queens on the 16th March or away to Montrose on the 30th March. We have some tricky away fixtures in March (4 of them!) so it might drag into April, but the league could well be done in March!

    Pros & cons to winning it home & away. A home game (Edin or Cove) would be great as you’d have a full house. 

    But an away game at Montrose sounds like a belter too 😂🍻. I think, even if it were on TV, we’d still take a huge travelling support.
