Blame Me Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) It's been mentioned before, I am sure, that the Kelpies to kick-off is happening this Saturday. 500 tickets available this year and 380 attended the event in 2019. Not sure if this is the 1st since COVID. I know of 2 who aren't regular fans who are participating. Both 2.5/5K walks appear to be sold out.

Due to Council controlling so much of the cost of overheads such as services, staff all of which will have a healthy mark up to cover overheads by accounting sleight of hand can put on the books that TFS runs at a loss. If it ran at an actual loss they would be keen to unload it but it's the opposite. FFC is a prisoner at the TFS and the council knows it. Nowhere else to go as there's no chance of planning permission ever being granted for building our own stadium. There have been discussions on the forum in the past about buying them out and it's not a goer. Bulletproof 99 year lease with no get out for example. As a business FFC do not have one physical asset that is sellable. The support just have to get used to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why we should make enquiries about the KM Stand! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will this have a major effect on parking at the ground, usually grudgingly pay the £4 behind the north stand as not keen on walking too far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just keeps building Only 165 members short of surpassing Morton’s monthly contributions now with our average £12/month subs. At current growth then should surpass that by the Summer.

If we don the conspiracy hat for a second, I don't think it makes sense for Dunfermline to want thus off. The very last thing they want is to place themselves in a must win scenario v us. The only way that can happen is if they were to put it off. Right now, even if it goes the best way it can for us on Saturday, the game v them is a must not lose. The longer time goes on without playing eachother, the higher the potential is that actually, they need to play into OUR hands and attack for the win. That's if you want to think conspiratiorially. If I were them, I'd be wanting this game on in amongst the time where we have a notionally winnable cup QF to think about also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
