Guest Ecosse83 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Pages upon pages of pointless Goodwillie chat. Today was meant to be a good day, why can’t we just enjoy it for a while? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I really really hope this is just a case of lazy journalism and there's no substance to these rumours. My daughter (10) and neice (6) both have steps with their names saying 'Proud To Be A Bairn' in the main stand. I also have 1 of the bricks outside which says 'U R My Falkirk'. If we sign that rapist I can hand on heart say I am done with this club and the only time I will ever set foot in the stadium again would be with a crowbar to remove those step plates. It no longer feels like my Falkirk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopestreetpuddle Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 2 hours ago, StuartA said: Can I ask why FSS would be first line of attack for fans who disagree with a particular signing, employee, policy, etc? FSS is a separate organisation. Up to everyone what to do with their own money, but it seems counterintuitive to weaken fans’ ability to argue for change. With that in mind ,given the depth of feeling either way a signing like this isn’t really “ everyone pulling together “ , what if any representations have you made to the board on what clearly is a big issue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I honestly can't believe anyone thinks we will sign Goodwillie for 1. any credibility/dignity the club has left will be well and truly gone and 2. we won't pay a fee for him unless they want Jamie Wilson in return. so lets be real about this it won't happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a realistic goal for membership? Well, Hearts have 9,000 members at £10 a month but with the benefit of unity against a single common enemy (liquidation). We don’t have that singularity of purpose, so knock 50% off for no rallying call to arms, and then factor in scale (say we are 20% of them in terms of support), and then drop another 10% to cover affluence, and I reckon 800 is the kind of membership we could expect to build over a year or two. That would be 800 tenners as per Hearts, so £8k a month. Edited January 3, 2022 by Duncan Freemason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 There appear to be a few on here that want people to hold off making an issue of this as nothing has happened yet.So when should we complain then? When he’s actually signed!… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be 800 tenners as per Hearts, so £8k a month. The Hearts for life scheme is actually £20 a month I think, which makes the 9k members even more impressive. It’s totally transformed that club and built a brand new multi purpose state of the art stand as well, I’d like to think in the long term we could achieve something similar relatively but reading some of the comments on here I’m not sure if our support can see the potential, understand the separate identity of the FSS or even have the will/appetite for it to work.

Email the board and if you have signed on the dotted line with the FSS , they should also be emailed as that is the point of them is it not ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbri Bairn Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 No to Goodwillie. Not because of his guilt or not but for his complete lack of empathy and remorse. Sex with anyone who is so drunk that they can't consent is a crime. He has never acknowledged that so he must think it is perfectly fine.

Bairn in Exile Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Just my tuppence worth. Would a son of the manse really be interested in signing a rapist?

Bigbri Bairn Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 What a day! Euphoria at the departure of the wicked witch followed by anger at the thought of signing the Prince of Darkness. Can some fans not cope with happiness ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea re the facts here, but what I do know is the only thing you should believe in the Sun is the date- and I would even check that! Thats a fair point and like I've said I'm hopeful it's just unsubstantiated lazy journalism, although it's more than 1 media source making the claim. However I've not said a thing about expecting the club to make an announcement on it. I have however stated my feelings on it as a supporter and father and have emailed the club aswell even if it turns out to be a sh*te non story. Nothing would surprise me anymore when it comes to Falkirk FC so I think it's important to make our feelings known. No point shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51 Bairn Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Just to add some wild thoughts to the meltdown on here.... what if a an ex-employee of a club called a number of journo contacts with a non story to get small retribution for feeling they have been hard done by as they felt the job they were doing was a success, therefore sending the support into froth against a new board who pulled the pin on said employee... or have I been influenced by watching to many of the crap films on the box over the last few weeks? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
