Yoss Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 - What's your greatest hope for this season? Locke to prove everybody wrong. - And your biggest fear? Locke to prove everybody right. - Most important player The difference in the team with and without Jason Thomson last year was pretty noticeable, and while you should be wary of spotting patterns, I don't think that was completely coincidental. - Cult hero/terrace favourite Craig Barr. Unless David McGurn gets another run in the side. - Keep an eye out for. (young player) Lewis Vaughan, if he's properly fit again. - Player you'd happily drive to his next club. No-one. I'll admit to having been mildly surprised we re-signed Scott Robertson, mind you, though he's been a fine player in the past. Hopefully we'll get to see the best of him this year. - What one change would you make at your club? In fantasy-land - return the ground to how it was a couple of decades back. More realistically - sell stovies in the main stand. - Have you got the right manager? Having read what the board said about him, I'm happy to go with their judgement - I think it's an interesting choice. So, let's say yes. - What advice would you give him? Wouldn't. - Which team do you most want to beat this season? Don't really care. Having started my life in Manchester I'm afraid I find the half-hearted rivalry with Dunfermline to be just a bit funny, more than anything. - Opposition player you despise "despise" is too strong a word for it, but I was never a Josh Falkingham fan, if he pops up anywhere in the division. Otherwise, I'm struggling to think of anyone. - Opposition player you secretly admire Could mention two or three Falkirk players here but I'm gonna go with Jason Cummings, despite his hair and everything else. - Where will you finish? 5th.

skinny arab Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 - What's your greatest hope for this season? Promotion, preferable as league winners. - And your biggest fear? Mid table obscurity. Also Dundee fans hijacking every one of our game threads. - Most important player Not signed yet (hopefully), failing that hoping Simon Murray can build on a good end to last season. - Cult hero/terrace favourite As above. - Keep an eye out for. (young player) Matty Smith looks a decent prospect. - Player you'd happily drive to his next club. Most are gone. Scott Fraser irritates the hell out of me due to being soft as shite. - What one change would you make at your club? The pies. - Have you got the right manager? Absolutely no idea. - What advice would you give him? Whatever his preferred formation is, sign players that suit that formation. - Which team do you most want to beat this season?

LuoAnLai Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 - What's your greatest hope for this season? To win promotion via the playoffs by some miracle. - And your biggest fear? Automatic relegation. - Most important player Callum Fordyce (if he ever makes it back to full fitness) - Cult hero/terrace favourite Ryan Williamson (if he ever makes it back to full fitness) - Keep an eye out for. (young player) As above... - Player you'd happily drive to his next club. Faissal, if he doesn't stay. I'd also buy him a present and give him a big sloppy kiss. - What one change would you make at your club? Open a safe standing area in the North West stand (which isn't really practical) or in the enclosure in front of the main stand. - Have you got the right manager? Definitely. I like the fact that he's got something to prove. He still needs to get rid of that wispy, tufty bit of hair at the front though (you're a baldie AJ, get over it!) - What advice would you give him? Try and pick the same team every week, like you did last season. - Which team do you most want to beat this season? I'd like to win the East Coast league (Utd, Rovers, Hibs, Falkirk and the Pars). If we won that league, we'd win the whole league. - Opposition player you despise No one, now that we're not in the same division as Peterhead. - Opposition player you secretly admire No one, now that we're not in the same division as Stranraer. - Where will you finish? 5th...on goal difference...decided on last game of the season...by losing to Falkirk...at East End Park (actually that's my biggest fear) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None really, Dagnall was a bit useless but he's away and Danny Handling will need to show a lot more if he wants to stay with us - What one change would you make at your club? The tannoy system, it's terrible. - Have you got the right manager? I guess we'll find out soon enough! - What advice would you give him? Get in some wide players and attack at pace!

101 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 - What's your greatest hope for this season? To get promotion. - And your biggest fear? Relegation. - Most important player Geggan though not seen enough of the new arrivals to pass comment - Cult hero/terrace favourite Fais if he stays or Jo - Keep an eye out for. (young player) Williamson or Martin expecting both to make a mark next season and if PJ signs again would expect him to make some appearances - Player you'd happily drive to his next club. WOuld of been MAC but the dead wood has been cut if Spence don't make the step up then I will settle with him - What one change would you make at your club?

Yes hope he shows his class again next year - What advice would you give him? Keep the boys hungry for more and stick with the system last year and punters will keep coming back - Which team do you most want to beat this season? Hibs or Dundee Unt felt robbed by them in the cup should of scored into an open goal - Opposition player you despise None unless Hibs sign Fais - Opposition player you secretly admire Not familiar with the boys in the league Im sure we will see some gems in all the teams - Where will you finish?

bridge of allan bairn Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 - What's your greatest hope for this season? Automatic Promotion, one better than last season - And your biggest fear?

(young player) O'Hara - Player you'd happily drive to his next club. None - What one change would you make at your club?

lionel hutz Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Is there a plan for a 4th stand at TFS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Yes. Given how quickly the play off games sold out we might see it sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 How often does TFS sellout though? It was impressive that you sold it out for the playoff game and in a short space of time too, but realistically, would that happen often enough to want to spend a significant amount?

bridge of allan bairn Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Was pretty much sold out four or five times last season. Rangers twice in league. Hibs once in league and once in play offs and killie in the play offs. Also we had to split the main stand down the middle for the rangers games which isn't ideal. The other games Falkirk filled both the main and south stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir Lennon Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 - What's your greatest hope for this season? Sending Houston weeping into retirement - And your biggest fear?

D'Jaffo Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Greatest Hope - staying up Biggest fear - relegation after an absolutely humiliating season Most important player - Ross Docherty, terrific piece of business getting him signed up. Terrace favourite - Devlin has developed as a fan favourite since joining. Keep an eye out for - McGuffie, hopefully a break through year. Technically the same could be said for Forrest as he still has to prove himself as a crucial player this season, but he's been playing for awhile now so maybe doesn't qualify Player you'd happily drive to his next club - Donald, not much to be said there One change - Not much IMO, clubs in safe hands Have we got the right manager - Absolutely Advice for manager - Stick the heid in AJ the next time we play the Pars Which team do you want to beat - Would love another crack at Dunfermline - Would love a win at Easter Road or Tannadice but that's unlikely Opposition player you despise - Talbot, thug that lashes out when someone gets the better of him. Which is all the time. - Not a fan of Jason Cummings, never played against him yet but I think he's an arrogant wee shite. Cracking player tho, but a wee shite. Opposition player you admire - John McGinn is an absolute class act and is the divisions best player IMO Where will you finish - Ideally 7th or 8th but probably 9th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scosha Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 - What's your greatest hope for this season? Play-offs. Unlikely but not impossible. - And your biggest fear? Relegation - Most important player Michael Tidser (when fit). Can't think of any other player in our squad. - Cult hero/terrace favourite Tam O'Ware - Keep an eye out for. (young player) Mark Russell. Left back who had a good first full season in the championship last year. Hopefully make more of an impact in the final 3rd next season. - Player you'd happily drive to his next club. Can't think of any player that fits this. All are fairly decent who give 100% every week. - What one change would you make at your club? SACK THE BOARD - Have you got the right manager? Didn't think so originally but don't have any complaints at the moment. - What advice would you give him? Sign an experienced defensive midfielder and be more willing to change formation from time to time if it's not working. - Which team do you most want to beat this season? St Mirren, obviously. It won't happen though. - Opposition player you despise Bobby Barr. Only just left us but I know he'll score against us next season and act like a c*nt the whole game. - Opposition player you secretly admire Jason Cummings - Where will you finish? 6th/7th based on the current squad.

Poet of the Macabre Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 - What's your greatest hope for this season? Finish 4th, give our rivals a few skelps and the crowds continue to grow at East End Park - And your biggest fear? Battling with Ayr and Dumbarton to avoid relegation, AJ panicking after a bad spell and the club spending money it doesn't have to fix short-term problems. - Most important player A few candidates. Geggan, Cardle and possibly Reilly could all be key. Difficult to judge though. - Cult hero/terrace favourite Ben Richards-Everton is daft as a brush and an utter hunk - Keep an eye out for.

Rovers1992/1993 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Which team do you want to beat? - Would love a win at Easter Road or Tannadice but that's unlikely to happen. Why not?
