In all seriousness it’s a bold statement by the club, and one that could backfire in them if they don’t back it up on the park.

Back to their spiritual home in falkirk,stenhousemuir really must've bled them dry :lol:

Good luck to them but why come out woodwork now when it was obvious what was happening further up the road  ?

Is this backing just for one season or will it be continuous? At least it’s people close to the club so they won’t leave it in a bad state if it goes wrong

Take some of the heat off us for next season , you’re already favourites for the title lol !!

Two things, is the Falkirk ground not in Grangemouth, and if Stenhousemuir hadn't provided a home for the 'Shire, where would they have played?

 

Whatever happens in the future, all the best to East Stirlingshire, have a lot of good memories of visiting Firs Park.

I'm only going wi what the poster said as in back to their spiritual home.

No sure where they'd have played but they will forever be remembered for having an absolute tosser of a steward when they played at ochilview. :lol:

Technically yes on being in Grangemouth,  but it's on the Falkirk side of the motorway and it's reasonably close to where the old Shire park used to be, so I always found it surprising that this didn't happen sooner. 

Can remember being at Shire games in the 80s when the main talking point was whether to move to the athletics stadium in Grangemouth.  That has sometimes been viewed as the most viable alternative.

Remember being at Grangemouth Stadium for a pre-season game with us, not the best for watching football but would have been better than nothing. As for Awfulview nothing wrong with the set up  but the one steward seemed to want to spoil it for everyone, don't know the rental agreement details but cant have been easy for the Shire during that period.

They used to charge us for opening the pie hut and the wee bar under the stand and of course, for the privilege, all the profits were theirs. 

Graeme, who ran the bar, used to do it for nothing, great guy. When he heard Shire were getting charged £90 to open the bar, he stopped doing it.

Given their last 2 games are against Spartans and BSCG it's not impossible 'Shire could face a fight to finish top half.

You must say this is a marvellous season for little Civil Service Strollers. They are now joint 3rd and 1pt behind 2nd - although they themselves finish with Spartans, Kelty and Cumbernauld. If they do finish 4th lets hope it's rewarded with a place in the Scottish Challenge Cup.

Hopefully enough investment for a top 4 finish in the Lowland league next season lads. Get you in the Champions League at least.

You just focus on staying in the dizzy heights of League 1, can't wait to hear Edinburgh Uni run out to Steve Austins theme tune in a couple of years
