AL-FFC Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Was there at the game today but tbh i feel bitter as f**k about it given the state we are in, but the reality of it is, i dont think any boycott will make any difference these folk have made their money and have other sources of income so 20 quid here 200 there isnt going to make much of a difference to them. What i will say is the club just doesnt feel the same as it used to you know the cn*ts that run it are just being pr*cks about the whole thing because they can. They need to go and we need a competent board in place. Oh and Edi/Latapybairn f**k you and your board w*nk fest ripped the arse and soul out of the club. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawson Park Boy Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I totally agree with all the points being made about the deviousness of the Board after what was agreed at the last AGM. I just don’t think that boycotting the team is the right way to go about it. I shall attend the EGM and listen to what is said and then make up my mind as to the honesty or otherwise of the Board and msg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should you give up your saturdays to support your team to stay away whilst they sit there in relative comfort knowing whats there as support wont be vocal about it, all it takes is one person to get it going and the rest will follow suit. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus2 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 We all or most of us want rid of the current board. But ours is a divided support on how we achieve that goal without doing irreparable damage to the club we all love . And to those who will say we aren't divided I will point out that a lot fan represention have disappeared from the club because a fan infighting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanity check needed. Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Was there any chants or abuse aimed at them today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Wee Edi hiding behind dots rather than coming on here like the Falkirk fan he claims to be and talking about the current issues. For someone who repeatedly cast doubt over KJ and DWs ability to get BtB off the ground, I for one would be interested to see Edis thoughts on the BtB statement. Of course, Edi isnt a Falkirk fan, or probably even a football fan. Hes a plant, and a very poor one at that since he hasnt even been intelligent enough to not get banned off P&B. Mon Edi, tell us what you think. Boycott, board, BtB. Lets hear it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing being talked about round me today was the team and the season ahead, almost as if 99% of the Falkirk support know nothing of any supposed boycott and aren't pissing in the wind via an online echo chamber. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Suffering Bairn Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I don't agree with the boycott. I don't support the board and how they have treated the supporters. I would like the board to be replaced asap. I don't think badly of those who are boycotting or support the boycott. We all want what's best for the club but there are different opinions on how to proceed. The name calling by some here is juvenile and counter productive. If the boycott get's the board out then more power to you. Why can't we just talk to each other like we are decent people? 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon Edi, tell us what you think. Boycott, board, BtB. Lets hear it. Happy to discuss the statement. While interesting, it didn’t really tell us much new information. I actually think the BtB bid may well be the best way forward at this stage. However, it seems naive at best to think that the BoD shouldn’t even consider other offers that may well be serious and positive for the club. They may not be, but the club are right to have a look, and that is a process that unfortunately takes time. It is also naive to assume you have preferred bidder status when this hasn’t even been confirmed verbally by the party selling, never mind in writing. I hope the BtB proposal can be progressed if the other bids are not suitable, as I think it is in the best interests of everyone involved. However, the BoD are duty bound to investigate all options on the table, and the other bids on the table may well have something to offer the football club, which is what matters most in all of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow_bairn Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I spoke to about 10-12 people today about this “boycott”. None of them knew anything about it.It’s upto people how they go about supporting their team. If they go to the games they shouldn’t be hounded. For those that are staying away from home games, then you deserve an applause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 How do you know what was confirmed verbally?How does preferred bidder status come into it when the club wasnt actively for sale, nor even entertaining bids until after the 3rd or 4th iteration of the BtB deal, now known to be stalling tactics with board members hawking the club about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not rocket science that other parties will start expressing interest once they see someone in takeover negotiations. The BoD are one their way out over the next few months in any case, whether they’ll be replaced by BtB or someone else. Thankfully, the vast majority of fans understand that takeover processes take time, as shown by the crowd today 400 up on this stage last year. Whether 50 people boycott or don’t will not make any difference to an ongoing takeover negotiation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They chased away all of the bids that they solicited themselves throughrank incompetence, all the while stringing along supporters. The same supporters for whom they have shown nothing but disdain. As for the numbers of boycotters etc, I think I will wait to see the BtB survey with over 1000 respondents. You know, to see data someone has taken the time to collect, rather than throwing out stupid numbers and ill informed/parrotted opinions. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
