Fucking hate the buildup to games like this. My default is convincing myself that I don't really want to go and its all a big inconvenience, before being absolutely wired on match day.

We're fucking massive.

Also, it's absolutely time for a team and a match that live a little in the memory. Not since the 3-2 wins against the blue cheek and Hibs have we had a result to be looked back on fondly at TFS, youtubed years later etc.

It's time for a cult hero to step up and make some memories. Get them fucking PUMPED!!!!!

What a difference a day can make

Ah yes.... That was indeed a belter. Sibbald absolutely ripped the piss out of them.

I long for the days when with 20 minutes to go, the game is absolutely in the bag. Half a dozen of them a season is a great thing for the old ticker.

Superb effort. 

#KM7 looks borderline full most weeks these days anyway. Most of a week to shift main stand tickets is great tho.

Aye was thinking that when we played Alloa a few weeks ago seemed pretty busy.

I would give the players credit for responding to a big crowd in the away game. I just hope they go one better this time because its high time some of these big crowds were capitalised on. Saturday is the sort of day that has the potential to keep some of these fans coming back. But we all know too well how many times wev had that big crowd and anticipation in recent years and fell flat on our faces.

Invited a colleague to this game and went to get hi a SS ticket today - sold out. Couldn't very well put him in the Main Stand himself so had to buy two tickets to sit amongst the sweetie rustlers. I'm betting the SS will be epic too, especially when Burrell gets his hat-trick.

You’ve said it spot on, far to many times we’ve fallen flat when we’ve had opportunities to really get the stay away/ fed up / new fans on board / huge numbers and……….

The first time I recall us falling flat in front of a big crowd was  in our ill fated 78/79 season. 

I recall a huge crowd at Brockville for our 2nd last game of the season, Cowdenbeath.  The team fell flat losing 3-0.  -> https://bettermeddle.org.uk/archive/match.php?season=1979&id=238&type=1 and we missed out on promotion as a result.  I recall standing in the enclosure with my dad who hardly ever went to Falkirk games as he was a Stirling Albion man.  

The other thing about that season is that we didn't play between December 10th and February 9th - that was back when winters were winter! 

Really looking forward to Saturday - the stadium really needs a near full house to have any atmosphere. 

I think we will win 2-0.  Burrell and Morrison.
