His recruitment and knowledge of building an infrastructure seems pretty impressive. As a coach/manager, he’s currently not getting the best out of this squad so far with his in game management also very questionable. He should be given to the end of the season to see if he can finish in the playoff spots to properly assess his performance. I’d assume the interview process made it clear that with the January funding securing a playoff spot was the minimum requirement. Is there any vacancies for his old job as ball boy? - might be more his level 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Because I'm bored (currently stuck at home looking after the wee one who had to go for a PCR test) I've went through a list of current SPFL clubs and marked off which grounds I've been to. Premiership (11/12) Celtic - yes Rangers - yes Heart of Midlothian - yes Hibernian - yes Livingston - yes Ross County - yes Dundee United - yes Motherwell - yes St Mirren - not been to the new stadium yet Aberdeen - yes St Johnstone - yes Dundee - yes Championship (10/10) Arbroath - yes Kimarnock - yes Partick Thistle - yes Inverness Caledonian Thistle - yes Raith Rovers - yes Ayr United - yes Greenock Morton - yes Hamilton Academical - yes Queen of the South - yes Dunfermline - yes League One (6/10) Cove Rangers - no Airdrieonians - yes Montrose - no Queen's Park - yes Falkirk - yes Clyde - yes Alloa Athletic - yes Peterhead - no Dumbarton - no East Fife - yes League Two (4/10) Kelty Hearts - no Annan Athletic - no Forfar Athletic - no Edinburgh City - no Stenhousemuir - yes Stranraer - no Stirling Albion - yes Elgin City - no Albion Rovers - yes Cowdenbeath - yes Currently sitting at 31 out of 42. I haven't included St Mirren or Dumbarton because I've not been to their new grounds (but had been to Love Street / Boghead). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blame Me Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Charlie Telfer: Falkirks season isn't over yet Drug test for Charlie please I've came to that conclusion not just by the headline but the content - Thinks we can win next 8 on the bounce, against higher opposition even though all evidence would suggest otherwise.

Long Suffering Bairn Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) See in the news that Chelsea's MONTHLY wage bill is £28 million. That's 4,666 Leigh Griffith's. You could buy our stadium, the club, the whole of Falkirk High Street and good part of Calendar Park for that probably. Different world.

Yes, I went there for a couple of Falkirk Womens matches in 2018. The first team played a closed-door friendly there in July 2015 which 60s Bairn was probably at. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relocate the office staff out the stadium and leave the council with their white elephant to stew in their own juice. Selling brockville, our family silver, and then having to rent from falkirk Council is by far the biggest thing that cheeses me off in terms of our past decision making. until we can find some long term way of buying back the stadium we'll never be in control of our finances and destiny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 It’s been gone over before, but our main stand was and is a huge vanity project to give us something akin to a mini Hampden. Having nothing on the east side makes “atmosphere” a far distant concept. The biggest issue is a relationship with a council that is little better than toxic. I remember way back the Goldies doing everything possible to scupper FFC. Compare and contrast Livingston bending over backwards to accommodate all sorts of crooks in West Lothian and still doing it today, or Hamilton who actually earn money from their council from renting office space. How the hell we ever get TFS to look and feel like home, I do not know. It’s never felt that way for me. Even if it’s nothing to do with accommodating football, that east side needs some sort of structure to enclose the place. For me, Tynecastle is the best stadium in the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree in regards to Tynecastle. We weren’t playing the Saturday we were suppose to be at home to Peterhead and my nephew wanted to go to a cup game so we went to Hearts V Livingston. Magnificent stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Perrin Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 The Goldies have been a plague on this town for decades and their hatred for FFC is stuff of legend. The unholy alliance between Labour and Tories that is polluting the Council Chambers will hopefully come to an end at the forthcoming elections which should lead to more constructive relations with the Council as a fair number of the SNP group are Bairns fans. The labyrinthine ownership agreement is not likely to be altered in our favour anytime soon though given the budget cuts facing the Council. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
