Hughsie Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 7 hours ago, muppetshow said: i see from the other nite that the stadium is very light on advertising, We had a board on the far side which was ripped down before the first preseason friendly, no idea where it is, but with absolutely no contact from the club as to whether or not we wished to retain it...... which we would have paid for but not now with the cost of another board being made by the sign company and f**k all communication from the club, we wont bother. its not that difficult to keep local business on board. That is disappointing, if true. Out if interest, when was the last season that you paid for the board? Surely you weren’t paying for advertising space up until last season and they’ve removed it without asking if you wanted to renew this season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite pleased that the club have taken action and removed advertising that hasn’t been paid for e.g Imperial Cars. The free advertising fiasco didn’t cost the club anything, but it sure could have p****d off those that did pay. Knowing the guys in Marketing and Sales, I am a little surprised by the fact that they didn’t contact you before taking your board down. Maybe you just slipped through the net, or maybe you should contact them and ask for a rebate to produce a new board. I actually thought the level of advertising wasn’t too bad when I looked around last Saturday. More is better though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, would have thought the sensible and logical way would be an opening line of communication, followed by the appropriate actions. Sounds harsh removing boards without contacting the sponsor/company. How many of these ‘free’ boards were genuinely free though and how many were in exchange for services provided to the club? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, next point, is try to load https://www.falkirkfc.co.uk/ on a mobile device. I can make a cup of tea in the time it takes to load. Majority of people will access your website from mobile devices. The new homepage has significantly longer load times than it had before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were still free if those providing the services stopped providing those services but the boards were never removed. Complete shambles and at the very least reeks of a can't be arsed attitude from the previous lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopeStreetWalker Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Looking at the fixtures 4 away games on the trot early on will be season-defining. Of course every game is important and home and away even themselves out but 4 away games in a row is a tough gig.
