I mean even the hydro is 14300 21k if using full capacity of pitch I’m sure, but I’m sure I heard 25, but that might be just my imagination.

Falkirk Council take a large cut as and employees or services provided will be charged with a massive mark up Falkirk Football Club are tenants of TFS do the groundwork and the council sit back and wait for the payday. The mugs that signed up to this one sided deal regarding our home ground should be hunted. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mugs that signed up to this one sided deal regarding our home ground should be hunted. Falkirk own the pitch and all pitch facing areas (ie the seats). I’d wager the council will get a cut for use of car parks and the rental of hospitality suites but otherwise it’s our cash. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) There were 21,000 at the Little Mix concert in 2018. I'm assuming that was a sell out? I don't know how much money the club made from that but with the Killers playing two dates we'll hopefully double that. A quick look on Ticketmaster and the first gig is virtually sold out including hospitality and the end blocks of the north and south stands. The second gig still has a bit of a way to go but I still reckon around 15,000+, or similar to the Elton John crowd in 2012 Edited May 12, 2022 by NavyBlueArmy1876 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Excellent update from the board. Clear, concise and a call to arms without flinging mud all over the joint. Mcglynn sign us some ballers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 The board statement just released paints an optimistic picture. Pretty much a back to basics plan but at least appears to be thought out and justified. It looks like we will also be back to grass after next season if they are looking for a training ground way from the stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 An honest appraisal of where we are as a club. Hope the “lost” supporters can see past the embarrassing conveyor of BODS/people/players that have shamed us, and get back to purchasing STs and PATG. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulioBairn Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Great update from the club. Some decent signings in the next week or so and I’ve no doubt the season tickets will sell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blame Me Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 A lot of words to say we're skint and our commercial operation is a disaster! It would seem in order to "control non-football costs" we seem to have reverted - if we ever deviated from - relying on volunteers with professional skills to work pro-bono which, in my view, is a nonsense considering the amount of work realistically required in the areas mentioned. I can't say I'm as enthused as others about the statement. Yet to see tangible change happening which aligns with the pillars the board describe their instigating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All clubs at our level need backing from the fans in order to generate money. They obviously need us to do our part cos there’s no sky TV or foreign billionaires gona do it for us. 2. There are huge numbers of volunteers at all football clubs and the volunteer and the club clearly benefit from that. No issue with the guy who runs the social media etc doing so on a voluntary basis. 3. There has been a lot of talk about disbanding the academy again. Although we are a while away from any real benefit from it, it’s pleasing to hear it’s part of the plan. 4. Tangible change? Appointing a proper manager is a good start. I’ve always said I’ll criticise the club when I think they’ve fucked up and praise where it’s due. Since the season ended the club deserve nothing but praise. The next bit is key - getting the right players in. Here’s hoping the good work continues. 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have issues with volunteers per se but I think your underestimating that role and what it potentially entails nowadays. You also overlook the actual plea which was included sales experience. This isn't the club inviting folk to help smarten up the stadium or clear snow - these are specialist roles which are time consuming and skilled. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we're skint because the old board has pished our reserves down the drain on shit footballers crap managers and directors of football and concert tickets for their friends and bloody families.
