Didn't have to think for a nanosecond about it.
Voted already, Morrison vs Montrose. That goal, both for its execution and its importance, had me dancing about my apartment like a daftie.

I think the existing sections will definitely sell out, only 227 seats left now.
Imagine it would just require to be similar to the mickey mouse set up at Edinburgh. Someone with a handheld scanner at the corner exit gate to scan tickets, facilities wise maybe a burger van and a couple of portaloos? Not sure if that would be too much of a ball-ache for the club to organise though, assume it would need council approval as well who like all local authorities take about 804,000 years to respond to anything.
Cheers.
So we just need a time machine then?

Home sales
KM7 Stand 1,857 (sold out)
Main Stand 4,075 (sold out)
North Stand 720
Total 6,652
Alloa brought 111 fpr the game in October so imagine they will have 1-200
If we were to remain unbeaten against Kelty and Annan I could see a final, mini surge in interest in tickets for this game from neutrals just so that they could possibly witness a bit of history. Would we be permitted to sell a few hundred standing tickets for along the east side of the stadium, provided the Falkirk allocation in the north stand is full? Or would the barriers have to be more substantial and reinforced to allow this to happen? And would that be expensive to organise?

It is the best team spirit since 'Prime Houstie' and Falkirks never say die patented late goal habit.
Credit to those on and off the park. Hamilton as their results prove are a decent team but they were 2nd to Falkirk in every department.
The comings and goings in the closed season will be interesting.
Can't see us getting Tait as his displays as Hibs intended were to prove himself as a Hibs first team player or the shop window to get a transfer fee.

4 hours ago, Rocco said:Im not convinced there will be a clamour for Tait. He has had more failures than successes whilst out on loan and I believe a lot of clubs will look at his form as him playing in a very good team where things are going well.
I’m not saying we’re guaranteed to get him but I don’t think there will be many better teams than us after him in the summer
I think that after his experience at Hamilton that Tait will appreciate more than anyone the benefits of playing for someone that you respect and playing in a team that plays good football and with people that you like. While I don't think that we will get him signed up as one of our own players I do think that we will be favourites to get him on loan again.

Arbroath coming down and Stenny coming up is going to leave a lot of these clubs ruing the loss of the navy blue pound next season. Our travelling support has boosted a lot of coffers this season, we will be missed.
If you look at those average attendances the main beneficiaries of the Navy Blue Pound were Hamilton and Stirling with 3,400 and 3,000 Falkirk fans respectively boosting their figures. Without our fans Hamilton's average attendance would only be 1065 and Stirling's would only be 867. I've previously mentioned how we boosted Montrose's figure when 2,400 Bairns fans visited.

Another hands up here. Walked out of Airdrie a year ago, after the most abhorrent display and like many broken and baying for the BOD to bin them. I,ll be honest and so disappointed when they were not relieved of duties. Ready to give up ST after decades of supporting the club. Roll on nearly a year to that debacle and got to admit that the decision to see out their respective two year deals, has been rewarded with promotion, with ease and games to spare. Happy to take the medicine…..
I think that you speak for many of us on here, I wanted McGlynn binned at half-time at Airdrie, I was raging (watching it on Falkirk TV).
We've to be grateful to the board for keeping calm heads and making the right decision.

Slightly late to the party with regards to Accies' / Rankin's performance to date this season.
If we take the three head to heads where Falkirk took all 9 points and say instead that the Accies won all three of these games then there would be an 18 point swing from where we currently stand now: Falkirk, instead of 87 points would have 78 and the Accies, instead of 65 points would have 74 points so we would still be 4 points ahead of them.
It isn't that the Accies have done badly, it is just that Falkirk have been out of this world.

Thought it was just me. Barjonas and Henderson looked huge.
Hoops and being on TV not a flattering combination.
My, my, my, you need have a word with your fashion consultant, that is sooooooo yesterday!
Hoops make you look thinner.

Performance today summed up Rankin as a whole, completely gutless and incompetent.
Don't care where we are next season, if he's in charge I'll seriously consider not renewing my season ticket.
That won't be a problem mate, I'm sure if you have a change of heart and decide to PATG that you'll be able to find a seat.

This is what some Falkirk fans don't seem to get. This was is his second crack at it after he relegated us last season again tbf to him it wasn't fully down to him last season however a better manager would have still of kept us up we definitely had a better squad than Cove and Arbroath.

Would like to stress this isn't intended as a criticism (not like those attacking the spelling in newsletters etc lol), but more a bit surprised that the club have only put a singular tweet promoting tickets for Hamilton and it's Thursday evening. I get their focus is on selling out the stadium for Alloa - which it looks like we'll do - but, in my mind anyway, the biggest threat to our unbeaten run is Saturday and the team deserve a large backing, although I totally understand it's been a very expensive month. I also understand that the club will be rightly focussed on maximising their own income. Just thought that they'd have pushed it a little more than they have.
In the recent past I've always advocated for keeping the Navy Blue Pound in Falkirk to help support the club etc. so I am probably being a bit of a hypocrite here in that for this game I agree with you. One last huge backing away from home could help to get us that point to keep our unbeaten run going. In all the pre and post match interviews the manager and players always say how much the fans' support means to them.

attendance wise we hold our own in this league even with the inevitable drop off from the end of last season. we're 4th in average home attendances behind Falkirk, Hamilton and QOS and second in average away attendances (which either indicates an above average travelling support or everyone wanting to go and watch when the Binos come)
Good one!

Yes, I think it is looking like Cal picking up a double of Player of the Season and Goal of the Season. We all thought that they were going to be his goodbye gifts to us yet we have the added bonus of him turning out in The Navy Blue next season too.
If Carlsberg made football seasons...
