Who knows, the same council forcibly closed a shop that painted its exterior pink until they changed it, though, so make your own conclusions. 

Poor show.

Falkirk fans will see a few similarities with our local authority.

Was it the stand with the cardboard cut outs which had the plumbing issues?

:lol: those cardboard cut outs, from 20 years ago, probably earned us more than you'll earn in prize money next season.

You still got them?

We could put them in the away end to beef up those visiting crowds

Given we're not winning anything next season, that's not much of a statement. I doubt 3rd in League 1 pays out much. 

That was my point m8.

Cant even remember what company put them there, youd have to ask them.

Anyone know what the prize money is for winning League 1 and how it compares with a mid table placing in the Championship?

That's a disgusting jump from the bottom of the Premiership and the top of the Championship. Absolutely disgusting. It's a fucking closed shop.

It used to be a lot, lot worse.

When Partick Thistle won the First Division in 2013 they got £68,000 prize money.  The wealth redistribution was agreed in the summer of 2013 and the pot has increased gradually since then.

Some numbers from last season to bring it home the hole we are in.  League one squad sizes. The average squad size was 29. From that 29, 24 actually played in a game and 21 played in at least 10 games.

That being so, and just to get to a squad size able to meet the average playing more than 10 games, we would need an additional 16 players.

That's 16 players that need signing and we are 4 weeks into post season and 26 days before pre season training commences. Our rivals are building squads for next season, we are conducting a review while giving no feedback to its customers. The club's primary source of income is the fans. More income may come from sponsorship, advertising and other commercial funds but that money will not come in if there is no fans to see the products being advertised.

You have to tell the fans something or risk losing them

Can’t see them telling us anything cos it’s got nothing to do with them and the only thing they care about is themselves. 

They will collect their money and disappear. It will be left to the new guys...whoever they decide that is going to be

I wouldnt expect them to agree to the fan ownership model not for the reason of the club being at risk but more they wont get as much in their own coffers.

As I said earlier I don’t expect them to do the right thing but I do expect them to move on. 

Think Kenny and David have put together a good proposal so we can only hope.

The owners of the club are selling it. It is more marketable the cleaner the balance sheet is. Therefore there will be no commitment of funds for next season or how many people are going to be employed until it is sorted out, McKinnon does not know the squad budget therefore no signings or updates on the website.
