pipedreamer Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Alarm bells for East Stirlingshire? Difficult to ground share on a grass pitch which the potential new owner wants to be top quality?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Everything I read and see about the Falkirk "takeover" sets alarm bells ringing for me - think its more likely that the Bairns will be liquidated afore a grass pitch is put down if they sell out to this *ahem* character. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlansHotBath Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Yeah, from reading the Falkirk thread on here and what they're saying about this guy, I'd imagine the place will be sold and bulldozed for housing or a boutique hotel before a grass pitch is put down. Which admittedly is also not good for us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which admittedly is also not good for us Falkirk FC don't own the Stadium. The council do, so as it's a community stadium I would assume more than one stakeholders needs would have to be considered. A grass pitch would severely restrict use and therefore revenue so all may not be lost just yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did move there I'd give it about 5 minutes before someone posted "heard rumours you're groundsharing with the Shire?" on the BSC thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, although there's always been a lot of talk about the club buying the stadium from the council, who are pretty cash strapped and AFAIK are still looking to build a new HQ in town. But aye, realistically fake grass is a better option in their situation if they're looking to have regular gigs there. I'm also not convinced on the arguments against the fake stuff, it really comes down to quality and there is a fair number of shite grass pitches as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luggy Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Not according to the Falkirk Stadium Website. Mind you they wouldn't be the first council to offload publicly owned facilities and not tell anyone.In a deal that was done a number of years ago Falkirk own everything on the bottom level and the council own everything on the upper level. Not a bad deal for Ffc considering our council tax paid for the stadium. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlansHotBath Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Good result last night and some lovely goals, although I think 4-0 was a tad unfair on the Uni - we took a while to get going and only really got in full control when they tired. Although if it was last season we would've been 1 down in a few minutes and spent the rest of the time valiantly fighting back for a 1-1 draw, so definite improvement there. It was my first time seeing the new team this year, was quite impressed with Tapping, who looks to have improved in his year away. The quality is obviously there in the attacking end of the park, just needs a bit more coherence at times. Hopefully another 90 minutes against a team probably of a similar level in Gretna this weekend will help to jel a bit more, before the game against Bonnyrigg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could've had 10 easy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
