Good to see this being highlighted The council meanwhile carry on working unprofessionally with the club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good guests in Stuart Adam and Mick Kennedy. As always Stuart Adam spoke brilliantly, I was really pleased to hear him address the massive elephant in the room, that is the relationship with the Council. IMO this doesn't get addressed enough by the club and is the biggest hindrance to progress. Hopefully this will be something that continues to be addressed more frequently. I genuinely believe we will get the opportunity to take back the stadium at some point in the future from the council, whether its by us negotiating bit by bit ownership or the council realising its a very saleable asset when they are cash strapped, either way it will happen at some point, hopefully sooner rather than later. Do the club know how much the council would sell the stadium and the surrounding land and infrastructure for example the car park? Have they even asked? If the board have any interest even in the far future to own the facility outright then the value has to ascertained. I doubt the question has ever been asked. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it's been asked either given that there's no possible way it would be affordable to us at the present time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about now mate but they certainly screwed up any chance of the site being developed in the past which resulted in a number of developers walking away from attempts at deals. There couldve been so much more going on at the ground including completing the stadium if they hadnt continually blocked and held up progress on that front.

Bigbrbairn Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 The council are currently trying to stop paying out for leases that they have for facilities like Stenhousemuir Gym to save money so i doubt if they would want to sell the Stadium which presumably makes them money. They are more likely to want to use it more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFS is on the council’s books for £12m. No need to ask even if we haven’t 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that raising money to own the stadium wouldn’t be that difficult if the price was sensible. That I would think is where the issue is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that falls into “unprofessional” way of operating that HSW was alluding to mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the problem when dealing with the Council is the fact that it is a transitory organisation. You are (rightly) at the mercy of the electorate. Overnight you could go from having a broadly sympathetic regime to one run by the Camelon twins of evil and their minions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance they're looking to relinquish one of their newer buildings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabba Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 The council also use the offices for their workers so I would be surprised if they were looking to offload the stadium 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin James Left Knee Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 A much better view of Saturday's match from Kelty. You can see Jordan's goal much more clearly and that he deliberately changed the course of the original header. Great poacher's goal. I admire the work that FFCTV do for the club but I do wonder if the highlights package would be much better if it was released much later on a Sunday to allow better editing rather than rushing it for midnight on Sat night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music is amazing but when you try to understand the roadman slang you realise how it is all about boasting about making money, misogyny, anti-gay sentiments and killing "ops". Good to see Sammy speaking out - I really had hoped he would be a better footballer than he was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like them to have a camera in the KM stand too but I have no idea how expensive or difficult that would be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
