They gave us a brilliant week in Ceske Budejovice which was the first time I ever went abroad in my life. Doing it to follow Falkirk made it extra special. I know of at least one saddo memorabilia collector who went round the sports field after the first game nicking all these posters Probably still got them in his house. Anyone remember buying the fish on a stick? The mackerel on a stick were amazing, still talk about them to this day . What a great trip that was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because they actually entertain away fans and not 2 men and a dog every week? Absolute moron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you will have a bigger budget than Gretna 2.0, who are so cash rich they were paying premier League money in the fourth tier this season We've been a season away from part time or hybrid on here for about 4 years now and yet we're still full time and getting more than 2000 season tickets sold every season. I'd expect 2500 this year again. You've still not shown any evidence of a hugely dwindling fanbase either. Most of the drop in attendances can easily be explained by online streaming and lack of any sizeable away supports what so ever last season. If we go by the source of the stats you originally threw up unaltered Airdrie have lost approx 300 of a crowd on average per week since the 19/20 season . That's a third of your support and must surely be very concerning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the free transfers from the higher leagues are announced that is when the signings will come. Squads all over will be reduced and hopefully we pick up a few gems. Here's hoping 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not through losing supporters but the financial situation people find themselves in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about given the continual regression of Falkirk over the last half decade and the the fact that L1 will be an even harder league to do well in next year. Is it realistic that, if you have another "Falkirk" of a season then FFC fans will drop their bizarre "sleeping giants" attitude and accept that they are the below mediocre third tier outfit that all signs point towards? I look forward to the bUt WerE hUmuNGouS cOMParEd To AiRDrIE response. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the benchmark of how big your club’s ambitions are will be how many of the current Airdire squad end up playing next season at New Broomfield for the home team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why there's no worries about the current Falkirk teams whereabouts come August. Also well done for being number 12 is the distract and sweep brigade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
