Falkirk have that sweet spot, much like Dunfermline whereby the town/city stands alone without the Glasgow lure. Inverness has a population not a kick in the arse off 70,000 and we can't escape the fucking Glasgow lure. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers_One_To_Eleven Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 We can talk about numbers and populations etc til the cows come home, Airdrie having a home support of around 600 just seems odd for the size of place, even factoring recent history. 1000 with maybe 50-200 away fans and there wouldn’t be a conversation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Both Dunfermline and Airdrie have missed more than we have been awarded this season.

Doing Airdrie a disservice (I’ve had a look on the BBC website, it’s a quiet day for me hence my feverish activity on PB) and their gates range between 900 odd against a Clyde or Peterhead to 1100 odd against higher opposition before it comes to ourselves and Dunfermline so not too awful. 600 must’ve been the real dark times.

First I've heard of that. He was emptied once we got rid of the toxic old board having recently lost six games in a row, with the team bereft of confidence. By all accounts he sat in his car during training sessions and wasn't interested in what was done on the training pitch. You may remember that we were also pretty dreadful in our single seaside league season under Mccall and it was mainly a complete collapse from your good selves near the end which helped propel us back up to the Championship. That all said, he's maybe a marginal upgrade on McGlynn given what just happened... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I hope the board have an emergency meeting planned to discuss a new manager but I have a nasty feeling they’ll try to keep McGlynn on. I’m not convinced season tickets sales would hold up under the combination of a useless manager, a fifth season in league 1 and big price rises. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) Wonder if you’ll appoint a new head coach, maybe even give it to Paul Smith, but move McGlynn upstairs? Edited May 10, 2023 by Enigma 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I’m connected with saying they’re finished after last night abhorrent display. Could be very low numbers. My missus works with somebody who runs a supporters bus to and from home and away games, they're not running one on Saturday and have told people they'll have to get to TFS themselves 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s not working against a weaker side that’s well drilled then resort to the direct stuff (with the right personnel). In fact, I’d make plan B plan A against stronger opposition and go direct. Just go toe-to-toe. Dunfermline lapped it up against us this season. Let’s give a challenger something to think about.I wouldn’t be against Connor Sammon coming back for 10-12 games next season as a strong plan B. I don’t see a plan C being required in L1. Plan A…..Plan B if necessary….if that isn’t enough then we’re stuck. The problem all season has been we are soft as shite and our match winner ( Morrison ) shits it when it matters. I was never really convinced by McGlynn as it’s obvious from his weekly sermons that he is thick as shit and doesn’t have the respect of the players- however expect the unexpected. On Saturday we can win 4-0 it’s just v unlikely. To save his neck McGlynn should go for it with 3 up top right from the start with Henderson one of them and forget the tippy tippy just get the ball in the box and fight . I don’t give a shit if we get beat 8-0 I’d rather that than possession football in our half for 70% of the time we have possesion - just fuckin go for it or gtf. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’d drop but can see it still holding with average gate still at 3000. Unlike an Airdrie whose attendances are small for whatever reason, there’s an almost macabre reason why Falkirk fans keep turning up in numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Ive thought about Henderson up top. He’s proven to be versatile already. Something with a curveball element to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
