Bairney The Dinosaur Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Question for people on here. Would you like to see BTB continue? 100% - I think it’s really important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic_17_uk Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Question for people on here. Would you like to see BTB continue? Absolutely Yes. But to what end though?Being enough of a part of the new ownership to have significant say /be able to protect the club? Buying out the council? Funding the academy?My measly £10 a month or whatever it was is still on the table for any of the above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an open goal and I'm sure you knew the answer you'ld get before you asked. However, Bairnstrust as I understand it are no more, albeit as the last chairman of it ( I think) you're in a better position to know the current status than I am. It certainly doesn't have active, registered, paid-up members. Does Brian Guthrie still have some sort of involvement as the nominal spokesman on behalf of the shares they purchased? Regardless of that, David and Kenny have more trust and respect amongst the fanbase than some of their well-known leaders ever did. I know work has taken place recently to bring all the fan groups together in opposition to the MSG but that's largely been done behind closed doors. As fans, we need some sort of group to represent our interests. BTB have universal support, which is almost unheard of in recent times for a single fans group. It needs to continue. Exactly where it goes is up to the people who run it but it would be a squandered opportunity to let all the goodwill and support that DW/KJ have go to waste. Besides which, any prospective new owner need to be grilled and endorsed / rejected by the fans. Nobody is in a better position to do that than BTB. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Question for people on here. Would you like to see BTB continue? Yes, of course. BUT, I don’t want our money invested in any venture until the new owners show that the commitments they are making are genuine. So I’d not be keen to invest in the scheme until we see the Academy start to materialise, and plans for the development of the 4th stand, land around the stadium etc.It could be that 800k might be needed to bail the club out if this all goes tits up..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity check needed. Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 He didn't play today, but have you seen any of the highlights with him? He's pure comedy. Yeah he makes Hartley's defence look good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No proper comedy today, but he was on the pitch long enough to get roasted a few times [emoji3] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club/stadium footprint is massive, iconic in the local area and is visited not only by thousands of football fans but tens of thousands of people every week either for business or leisure, especially with the helix/kelpies just next door. The new college nearby which is just about to open will bring further people to the area each week. I’m not surprised he’s saying that he wants to complete the stadium as from what I was told previously, any future East side development MUST include an East stand/safe standing. Due to everything I said plus the future Falkirk Gateway in the pipeline, I’m not surprised he may see an East stand structure important to his plans for a hotel, conference facilities & new academy facilities too. And if he can do that whilst putting a successful team on the pitch, he/they are onto a winner. Good luck to him & hopefully as others have said, he can make his plans become a reality. For all of our sakes. I used to think the hotel thing was pie in the sky nonsense but there are now over 2 million tourists a year coming though falkirk. We don't have a high quality 5* star hotel and with it's proximity to the helix park and the Kelpies a nice, well run hotel at that location would have the potential to be a very profitable enterprise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMBairn Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 People are correct to be cautious but I do have to say if this guy is a conman he is going to feel like a right dick when he realises that the current MSG have managed to convince him to part with cash for a club without a single tangible asset to strip. They would have basically convinced him to give them half a million quid in exchange for being able to make much more than that from the club but like one of those African prince email scams from 10 years ago he would just end up out of pocket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairn in Exile Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Not since the days of Rangers going tits up and that new club Sevco entering the league in their place have I woken up and had to trawl my way through 7 pages on a thread - Box Office Bairns right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
