Work has a job tomorrow delivery to Brockville Street in East End of Glasgow, had a look to see where it is and the three streets adjacent to it are Banknock Street, Bainsford Street, Camelon Street, anyone know the Falkirk connection to this area of Glasgow ? Never knew about that. Seen this too when in Perth in Australia.

If anyone genuinely is put off by this they should sit in the South stand. Dunfermline are the only L1 team that should be getting the north stand opened for them IMO The only thing that makes me “uncomfortable” sitting near QOTS fans is the fact the majority of them are Tories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 3,700 home end tickets sold for Ayr cup tie so far. Good going considering it’s on tv/time of the game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Tickets still selling strongly as well. Can't remember the last time we had a home QF which should help sales Inverness, Hamilton, Queen of the South & Sevco all away since 2009. Maybe at home to Hibs around 2006? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any purchase must be for the whole stadium and assets within them plus the surrounding land the car park for example. Then there is total control of the facility and the basis for a business plan to exploit it and finance its own purchase. The only way the council could be enticed to sell is a one-off payment they can't turn down and the club have enough financial challenges as it is. Council must be pissing themselves laughing stitching up such a gullible lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KM7 Stand was financed by SA, and a rent has been paid every year since. I think in this last year, it was £85,000. If SA has had his capital investment back in the intervening years, then who knows, perhaps a single lump final payment might be enough for the Stand to become a Club asset. If it could be had (for argument’s sake) for £250k (or something in that ballpark), it would represent good longer term value to the club. It would be capital expenditure, not operating expenditure. Not paying that rent for four years or so, and it effectively pays for itself thereafter. Pure conjecture on my part…..SA might want significantly more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out-of-interest and for arguments sake - Not sure it requires outright ownership to achieve - If the club did buy the KM7 stand what additional revenues could the club generate from it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renting out the bar space and the gym side of the building. Possibly move some functions from the main stand to reduce rent we pay the council? Might be worthwhile but I don't know the numbers so who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until the club can somehow contrive to get all stakeholders to agree to a single buyout of the TFS and surrounding land. Then FFC have a financial millstone around their neck in yearly rent, and lease payments that will only get more expensive that comes off our income year in year out. Would give us the fear if it was ever disclosed how much the club have paid out over the years and have diddly squat to show for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
