It must run into Hundreds of Thousands of £Pounds only to be sitting in League 1. That in my book is making a monumental mess of things! A few years ago we had a 7 figure sum sitting in the bank. Now, if you believe the stories going around, that is now 6 figures and starts with a 1.

Taxi for De Massis Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 This morning Martin Ritchie told The Falkirk Herald: “There are quite exciting offers in the wings. If they come through the board has to give them time to see if they are feasible. It would be incorrect to shut them off completely. We have not pushed away any of the offers reported to have been withdrawn. We can’t ignore people who we think could make a big difference to the club." “We still have a good dialogue with David White and Kenny Jamieson.” This is just sad now. Seriously, we need to stop this crowd from talking. We know that there would be a big difference by someone else coming in, it's not that hard to believe. What is also not hard to believe is that the board are sabotaging any kind of progress with their antics. Even if the folks running Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain decided to sell up and buy Falkirk (and not just the club, I mean the whole district), we'd still have some baffling statement from within that would confirm how it would not be in the club's best interests to accept their offer. Expecting the next social media campaign to be along the lines of: "YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR CASH WILL MAKE US RICHER" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokeville Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 The current situation is disastrous to our club. The Board is playing a dangerous game that looks like it going to backfire. They must backtrack and allow the fans consortium to take over and forget about their egos and self interests. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Suffering Bairn Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 The club is imploding. Ritchie's statement was practically a declaration of war between the board and the fans. For the first time in my life I feel sick of the club. We are seen as plebs by those in charge, we are just units of income for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 This stems back to the days when they reluctantly accepted fan representatives on the board. They do treat the fans with contempt, except when they are trying to sell us season tickets, hospitality or merch.You missed out, when buckets were being shaken, as shareholders wouldn't put their hands in their pockets, to see the club until a seasons end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I know the Falkirk lads fancied themselves to be #BoxOffice when it came to this league, but by christ you haven't half started off early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Its not great to see Falkirk like this, a side that over the past few years has been very well supported by its locals. It’s all a bit like what happened at Blackpool. Won’t be surprised if all Falkirk sports shops sell out of tennis balls at this rate... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Perrin Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Genuinely bewildered by the arrogance / lunacy of the arseholes that run our club.I was one of the 1,500 or so who attended the games at Brockville last time we were in the diddy leagues but I cannot see myself going to any games as long as these people run the club far less renew our three season tickets.Absolutely sickened by these people. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
