Only if the West stand is ever re-named as that’s what they own part of. Any sponsorship of the other stands or pitch for that matter belongs to FFC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ineos stand has a nice ring to it. (for a million or so) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Would it really be any of the business of the council if we re named the Main? I mean, we own everything pitch facing, so renaming it would only really manifest itself in references to it by the club, ticketing, advertising in the pitch facing side. I mean "renaming" is really just a form of advertising anyway. Surely we can "rename" without changing anything that the council are involved in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think so but I’m sure the council can sniff out a fiver in a gale force wind. It’s a fair point though that they may not be due anything as I doubt they get anything for Benny Ts sponsoring the family section in the main stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Rogers and Taiwo were two players in what was, when you look back at it, a pretty special team. It's been said 1000 times by everyone before, but in any 'normal' Championship, that team would have absolutely strolled it to the title. Each and every player worked their balls off for the jersey and never knew when they were beaten - everything you would want in your ideal Falkirk team. It seems a long way away at the moment but hopefully we can get back to that kind of level in the not too distant future. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe even in recent years it’s been worth a decent wedge to the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have long term leases on the seats and football areas in the west stand, the north stand , the area the pitch is on and the ground where the east stand would go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you mean the KM stand mate? We 100% pay a lease on that and it’s in the accounts. When the stadium was split up we got the north stand in terms of ownership outright & is the only stand we do 100% own (currently). I think you’re spot on re the rest although we don’t need to pay anyone for the pitch I believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Ritchie's book explains it all. 'The club was given 175 year leases on the land for the pitch,the north and south stand and an area of land to the east of the main stand pitch. It also had rent free leases on all the football facilities in the west stand , access to the hospitality areas on match days and specific access rules for the car park.' We own absolutely hee haw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhhh right, not read it tbh as would rather not give him the time of day. I assume it’s rent free though as it’s never mentioned in the accounts? KM stand rent obv is to Sandy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
