Staring out into the abyss during a humdrum game has scarred me for life! The Directors have previously stated they are working to a 4 year plan, in the hope of getting us back into the SPL by our 150th anniversary season i.e. season 2026/27. I reckon they would need 5 years in the SPL to allow the profitable 'model' they illustrated at the recent AGM to generate a big enough funding stream to allow them to dust off plans for a fourth stand. Say, a further three years to submit plans, have these signed off by the Planning Dept, issue tender for the construction of the Stand and then have the Stand built? That takes us up to season 2034/35 at the earliest. Depressing I know but can't see any other route to a new stand.

Hughsie Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Folk can argue about having drums or not but the simple fact is something has to change at the stadium because it’s like a morgue and it’s not much better away from home. If the argument against them is just “they annoy me” then I could say the same about half the shite folk in the stand shout on a Saturday. Pretty selfish attitude as well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is selfish about wanting to watch the game without getting a migraine? Surely it’s possible to generate atmosphere without the indescribably annoying, self indulgent crap that battering a drum is 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw last weekend how the atmosphere inside the place can lift the players. The support was poor on Tuesday night IMO and generally, it is very quiet which is a shame given the numbers that follow the team. God forbid we disturb your peace and actually start making noise at games, eh?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The design is much nicer architecturally and gives the stadium far more presence than the likes of St Mirren's Lego look. Just needs a 4th stand and Falkirk back in the Premiership to be magnificent Who gives a toss about aesthetically pleasing architecture and presence if it's not fit for purpose? Namely - comfortable for the fans, atmosphere and roofs don't do what roofs do, keep you dry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkirkBairn2021 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Got to agree about the pisspoor design of the main stand. It's fucking freezing year round and seems to gave been designed for the rain levels of the moon, not earth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self indulgent and a pain in the backside for 90% of the crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it’s only drums that give you migraines then? I don’t actually have any strong will for there to be a drum but would just like the place to be noisier and open to ideas to improve it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this talk of improving atmosphere by building new structures but the cheapest way will be to encourage more singing throughout a game without relying on winning.

Harry Kinnear Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I’m all for anything to create a bit of atmosphere but then even though I’m 56 I’m still young at heart. Get the electric guitars and horns in too, noisier the better. It’s all they auld b*****ds rustling they werthers originals sweetie wrappers that gets on my tits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not will apologise in advance for the rest. There has literally been a pages long discussion about ways to improve the atmosphere at TFS. All I have said is that at other teams grounds their young teams or ultras or whatever you call them maintain an atmosphere across a full 90 minutes. Something that I don't think any of us can say we have done game in, game out. Even when the pars were at TFS I thought there was very little singing. So why not look to what other fans do that we do not without a full construction process? You say we can create atmosphere without a drum? Then why don't we? I get some people don't like the drum and that's completely fair if that's your opinion. This really is just me brainstorming what I think could be a cheap and easy way to get more of an atmosphere going in a doable way while also getting the younger ones engaged more. Personally drums have never bothered me asides from when away teams bring them to tfs. The reason I find this annoying is because I have to sit and listen to away songs droning on while we sit quietly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not up for a discussion and resort to insults rather than making reasonable disagreements then why are you on a forum?

No drum, good old fashioned signing. Usually half a dozen pints help too. Edited March 11, 2023 by Back Post Misses 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s another issue, we don’t exactly have loads of songs, hopefully a young team with their drum could come up with some new ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this is what most of us do currently and isn't really working in relation to overall atmosphere even if it is good fun for us, hence the discussion for new ideas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
