Lots of talk about creating a fans fund and shouts for BTB or other fans groups to take the lead in organising some meaningful protest. All very commendable but 99% of the team those suggesting it expect someone else to take the lead. These things are hard to mobilise. I wonder how much visibility the Rawlins have had of our last 12 years of failure. Maybe pressure needs to be applied there to educate the Rawlins about the state of what they've bought into and to force them to step up sooner rather than later. Let's face it they're very unlkely to have heard anything negative from MSG or Deans. Do any of the fans groups have direct contact details/email/any other way of getting this message over? If so, now is probably a good time to step up and make our voices heard. Might be a quicker solution that trying to starve the MSG out (which based on past experience is only likely to make them even more stubborn). It’s all well and good to talk about banding together and fighting the good fight, etc., but there is one problem. Successful movements of this sort generally require a target, something you can hang on the wall and toss darts at, something for people to hate. With FFC the choices are too varied...MSG, BoD, the moron they’ve appointed to manage this week, the players, etc. The only monolithic target is FFC, which you wish to save, so you risk destroying the team to save it. If the ownership can be directed/trained, the BoD should be the target, otherwise the ownership must change...and since they just brought in Rawlins, that’s a tall order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s stuff like “get the f**k out of our club” or “you/the BoD are ruining our club” then he needs to take that stuff squarely on the chin to the point that he doesn’t bring it up on the radio! If it involved any kind of physical threat to himself or anyone in his life, then deleting them is absolutely the right thing to do......in fact, reporting them would have been even better. I believe emails were all sent to the address the club listed for people wishing to apply for the manager’s job. People using it to vent their frustrations at owners who give the out the perception that no-one other than themselves really matters, and this is where you end up. If you cast your mind back, the “new board” were appointed following a “new rigorous independent process” which sounds broadly similar to what Holt is claiming for the appointment of the next manager. I don’t get a warm and fuzzy feeling about that. Deans claimed to have worked for months with the new guys on bringing in new investment, improving club communications, and improving club transparency, encouraging greater fan involvement in the club , and rebuild confidence and trust in how the club is run. I suppose one out a five ain’t bad, but my God, some of the other stuff has been rendered much worse. Maybe learning the difference between “responsibility” and “privilege” would have been a good starting point, but I guess some people just never learn. I guess the “supporter involvement” the board will be most interested in is season ticket sales. Fully expect that to be churned out soon, and the sense that anyone who doesn’t buy one is just “damaging the club”.....you know by now how it works. Good luck with that.

young_bairn Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Those running the club don't care. I don’t understand why it’s taken so long for fans to demand change, including me. we had been in the championship for 9 years previous with most seasons seeing us being no where near promotion. That should have been enough for us to demand change. Not wait until we’re 4th in our second season in the third tier. Mid table championship should not be good enough for our club so god knows what near enough mid table in League 1 is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairney The Dinosaur Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I actually hope we do scrape into the playoffs. That gives one final home game for a protest. We've got to make a big enough fuss that the Rawlins see what's going on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Despite the comical nature of the recent collapse, I still think Falkirk have a decent chance of getting promoted this season. I'm not kidding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero exaggeration Beat me to it. Our defending of the basic stuff (crosses, balls over the top) is beyond woeful & our players show zero commitment. I watched the Arbroath game on Friday: 2 teams with limited abilities in a tense game with not much skill on show but at least they played as cohesive units. They were both so far ahead of us, it's frightening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero exaggeration I'll take your word for that, but the side is capable of being better than that, as proven by the position reached earlier in the season. I think it's unlikely that the club will slip below 4th next week. Thereafter, it's not inconceivable that you won't actually lose again to someone like Airdrie, then Morton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
