And Samdy Alexander has been a condescending fanny towards the fans on more than one occasion. Just hope SA doesn’t read this, especially as its likely he’s the one baling us out as per the Accounts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's under contract so it's not up to him at the end of the day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not, and they have been deservedly criticised for that at times. However, I am 100% convinced that they have taken every decision in what they saw at the time as the best interests of Falkirk Football Club. Some of the abuse they have been subject to over the years though has been totally beyond the pale for individuals who have contributed countless hours and hundreds of thousands of pounds to the club. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I covered a signing night for the new Under 16 academy team last week and listened to Tony Begg give the standard speech to the parents of all the new players. This covered all the usual topics like expectations on the players, training details and plans for the academy. The academy is already expanding because we now have U16, U17 and U18 teams instead of just the 16s and 18s from last season. It is still planned that there WILL be a reserve team next season. This will happen regardless of whether we get promoted or not. The only difference is that if we go up, the club will have the money to offer modern apprenticeships to some of the youth players. They will then play reserve matches along with first team players who're not getting gametime. If we stay down, there will be less young players getting paid to play football. Either way the plan is still there for the youngsters to be part of the club after they get too old to play for the U18s. Presumably there will be more info to follow, either at the AGM or in the months afterwards. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was never going back to Arbroath and he can’t sign for anyone else having played for they 2 clubs this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latapythelegend Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Putting tickets on sale at 10am on a weekdays is an absolute nightmare. Surely an evening outwith traditional working hours gives the vast majority of fans a chance to get there and have a shot at getting a ticket? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open until 7 on the first day of sales and can be purchased over the phone. I'd be surprised is there is 900 folk down at 10am on a Thursday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) I hope we do manage to start up a development team again, far too big a step to go from the U18's straight into the first team. Helps fringe first team players get more minutes too, the likes of Yeats, Carroll, Honeyman, Walker & Connolly would be able to stay with us as opposed to having to go out on loan. I personally would prefer the club to give out more news stories on the academy teams. Hopefully get back to annoucing the details of their games and results shortly. Ideally FTV would be able to film the games and put out the highlights but obviously with them just being volunteers that's not really realistic.

Dawson Park Boy Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Interesting question. Are FSS members eligible to attend the AGM ? Doesn't affect myself as I have shares in my own right but it would seem reasonable for FSS members to be able to attend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
