Senor Bairn Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 2 hours ago, Springfield said: Can’t argue, but more fans we get attending away games would be a great gesture. I agree It definitely would be, I just think that all free funds should be given to McGlynn cause I don't think he's got much to play with at the moment. If we're opening up the North Stand again for the 100 odd away fans, I wouldn't mind us seeing an effort to bring the Primary/Secondary school kids going for free like we were doing a few seasons back. That's something that wouldn't cost the club any money and would bring a bigger crowd/potential new fans in. Plus having the north stand fuller is always a good thing in my book. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or it’s that most of them apparently came from corners….which I guess some on here think shouldn’t count….

Would be ideal if we could get someone similar to Alegria but in reality you're going to niche yourself even further in an already difficult window. Ah so it was a rumour on here? Must be true then 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a no brainer. Creates atmosphere, potentially generates future fans, does something for the community, parents might come, and they potentially spend on refreshments, scarves etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a full section of seats blocked off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More room for segregation in the north stand mind you and if it's kids less chance of animosity building up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the North Stand can effectively be split in two with both halves having toilets and a kiosk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a direct replica of the South Stand it surely can be. Just lock that door in the middle and you have 2 completely separate kiosks/toilets Would also be massively in favour of the free kids tickets returning to the North Stand for the second half of the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Encourage them to support their local team rather than one of the bigot clubs. We are entertaining to watch just now, scoring goals and winning games. Now is the right time to influence the next generation of supporters. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great shout, unfortunately and speaking factually from a niece who attended the games when the schools were issued with tickets, many parents declined as couldn’t be seen supporting Falkirk.
