What kind of shape are we playing here? From the lineup, I'm guessing it's something like this;

Robinson

Craigen - Ashcroft - Durnan - Longridge

Higgy - Vincent - Thomson

Longridge

Faiss - Muirhead

I'd be happy with that if that's the case, got a feeling L. Longridge could be on the left wing in a midfield 4 but Falkirk fans seem to think he's a wasted player out there.

Louis is playing more wide left, Borehamwood are evidently a difficult side to play against but we're not pulling them wide enough, we're a better footballing side but every one of there players is 6ft+ and a bit of an athlete.

Can't see Dunfermline winning if it goes to penalties, 13 shots on goal, 1 on target.

O rly?

Win and a clean sheet is a positive didn't see the game.

[smpar]

Didn’t see the game either and I haven’t a clue how good Boreham Wood are, but keeping a clean sheet is certainly an improvement on recent results. Hope everyone who made the trip has a fucking quality night x

Mate says Higgy went off with a knock? Would be miffed/seething if we picked up any injuries during this pish.

Edit - Just listened to AJ's post-match. Higgy has been struggling for a while his groin and looks like it's getting worse

Also, apparently the trip saw the club lose money, which is an absolute joke.

What are the figures that create a loss?

[D.A.F.C]

We spent more money than we made.

We spent more money than we made.

Well how much did you make and what was spend? For example - Extra prize money = £2000, travel money award is £3500, share of gate (1017 fans don't know prices) say £3000 = £8500. 30 folk in a hotel for a night plus meals could get that for say £4000 and bus for 2 days say £2000. That would surely work economically. It was suggested to me Queens Park are travelling down and back on same day on bus with evening kick off arranged.

[D.A.F.C]

10k spent 3k from sfa. It was on the BBC.

[Cowden Cowboy]

10k spent 3k from sfa. It was on the BBC.

BBC is wrong then. You get £3.5k from SPFL and nothing from SFA - with gate money you could readily get up around £10k income in total. Presume though club didn't wish to arrange trip on a wholly economic basis and chose to spend extra on a discretionary basis. Eg Flying, more expensive accommodation, etc.

[parsforlife]

£10k is easily come too from a trip like that. About £300 a head isn't exactly a huge spend.

Flights are entirely reasonable here unless we're expecting professional sportsmen to complete 2 12 hour+ journeys in 36 hours.

[The Glorious One]

Will almost certainly be fined for smoke bombs getting thrown on the pitch and a bill from Boreham Wood if any damage has been caused.

Saw pictures of that, of all the games to throw smoke bombs onto the pitch why pick this nothing game.
Fair play to all the pars that travelled, hope it was a good trip

Ok now saw what the admission price was - the Pars get £3.5k travel money and £2k extra prize money for winning plus gate share should readily cover a £10k bill.
