Our desperation for promotion your club is the one who finished 2nd were top of the league for 2 weeks over 28 games and still thought they should be promoted. Get over it and enjoy the seaside league. Nevermind no pressure this season but if you dont go up, more cutbacks.

It wasn't too long ago you lot had the begging bowl out.

Can't believe we're actually playing Raith in a friendly. I would not entertain these a*******s after their antics earlier this year. Their desperation for promotion followed by their lying we scrote of an exe chairman should've seen us steer well clear of them. I wouldn't trust them to turn up for this FFS.

Who cares we helped our club out financially through COVID to the tune of over 100k. Like I say enjoy the Seaside league and although you will be favourites to come up I csnt help but think that Partick and Airdrie will be up there all season and if you dont go up then part time football will loom.

Now confirmed that all lower league teams must follow the top league in providing the same level of testing throughout the bet Fred cup games or simply forfeit the games.  Interesting few weeks coming up.....

 

I read it as lower league teams only have to test when playing Premiership teams which seems odd in health terms but totally predictable in the SPFL/Premiership protect the TV deal at all costs world.

With the increased prize money and a share of gate money, it will still be profitable for non SPL clubs. Two weeks testing roughly 6k, clubs likely to bank a minimum of 30k, it could be worse. I just hope we get the chance to play these games. 

How much gate money do you collect when you play in an empty stadium? …

He must be at the wind up. 

Interesting point though, considering that hosting the ties to no or reduced crowds would be a loss making situation would both team share the loses like they would the gate money?

Brilliant individual goal ! what was so good as it became obvious what he was trying the support behaved like they were at the horse racing cheering him on to the winning line. One of the few memorable moments in a miserable era. Was never the most skillful player but had a good engine in him and at least he tried every game - liked him.

Sure it was a bicycle kick he scored against Montrose. Remember it vaguely and the fact some big fat boy nearly squashed me in the celebrations.

On testing I notice that even English championship clubs are only testing when necessary .ie when symptoms are shown and they have a lot more dough than us.

Why we having to read about friendly matches on pie and bovril or raith rovers twitter? Not a peep about this game on Falkirks social media which is disappointing 

Probably don't want the backlash on social media, playing against the team who were promoted instead of us last year.
