The view from the hotel is some turnstiles, a car park and the shithole that is Sunderland. Did you expect a view of the bay of Naples? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but it's far more likely to be that we're a comparatively well run club with no debt and a lot of potential for growth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Deans article: Embezzlement and Fraud: https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12676830.deans-face-court-and-a-battle-to-control-falkirk-fc/ Fulston your prob right but he done the same thing to Accies before moving onto us same promises of a new stadium etc next thing we know administrators are in, noticed they are still involved with football i think its at East Kilbride or somewhere out that way It’s a small point, but a crucial one. We didn’t have administrators brought in because administration didn’t exist back then. We had McGruther.....brought in as provisional liquidator.When the administration process arrived a couple of years later, it was immediately seen as a viable business model by Livingston.....spend money you don’t have to get to the top flight, go into admin with no penalty, then do the same thing again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was rumoured we paid around that 150k because the fee was tied to appearances, if I remember correctly he was fit pre getting released and not getting a game due to the above. I do recall a reserve game he didn't play in because he didn't have the right insoles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 2 hours ago, Reggie Perrin said: A lot of the comments about the proposed hotel seem to be coming from people who only ever see the inside of one on their holidays. The stadium site is perfectly placed for a decent level business oriented hotel such as Marriot, Hilton, Mercure or Holiday Inn. Nothing like that in the area, almost literally an open goal for a prospective owner. As someone who spends literally weeks of every year cooped up in conference facilities in hotels, the placement of a decently equipped one in East Central Scotland that isn't in Edinburgh with superb transport links to it, would suit many many organisations down to the ground. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Brooklyn Coffee suggests that he does in fact have a bean to his name despite claims to the contrary.

Bigbrbairn Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Airth Castle is at Airth while MacDonald Inchyra is up for sale with the rest of the MacDonald group but that is by and by. If you look at the web the hotels to stay in Falkirk as a tourist it's pretty dire so the market is there. Get round the businesses in the area and find out what they want in exhibition and conference facilities. Funeral teas, Weddings, Divorce celebrations, All the Local Loyal Rangers supporters clubs get together ( only joking ) the cost of repairing the damage and disinfecting after they have gone makes that one a non starter. If that can be tagged onto the 4th stand as an annex all the better. We wont be buying the Inchyra because Campbell's traditionally hate McDonalds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Stapleton Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 6 hours ago, Back Post Misses said: Aye and where did it all end? Too many trumpeting MC and the promise of the world either did not live through ‘98 or have forgotten the pain, dread and fear of those 3/4 months when we didn’t know if we would have a football club to support again. I will never forget that first ever party on the pitch in the marquee when at the end of the night we were all up signing you will never take my Falkirk away. I looked to my right and there was Scott Crabbe, a died in the wool Jambo singing it at full pelt like us. It meant a lot to him and I feel emotional typing this, thinking back. I want to see my club punching at its weight, I want to see the stadium completed and I want to see us developing our own players again. But fist and foremost I want my club to be safe and not have that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach ever again that I might lose it. Where it all led to is what I was getting at as stated in the subsequent post. What were, evidently, the best memories of a lot of fans were bought and (not) paid for by Fulston. An asset stripper that had previous before turning up at Kilbowie on promotion day and doing a lap round the park to rapturous applause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secured on what exactly? 5 years worth of future season ticket money.... never happen! And how much assets do you think Bury had? We have the North Stand , football facing Main Stand & land. The future season ticket money is unlikely but as we know it's happened before. More than enough to borrow against and not from some reputable high street bank. MC seems to be a bit of wheeler dealer and I'm sure he knows his way around raising finance. Another way of racking up significant debt is signing players - John Park does not fish in the lower leagues you know . There are European Football Agencies who will pay for your signings then you pay them back when the player is sold on (as well as some decent interest) - very risky business in these Bosman days & of course players can get injuries. Players values can go up as well as down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
