AFC1878 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Guy on the Facebook page suggests moving us to the East Stand to create a better atmosphere as it’s a bit more smaller and more compact. Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fear of your own team not others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts?That would have the advantage (for directors and coaching staff) that they couldn't hear the "abuse" aimed at them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that the only time I fear my own team is when some bright spark in defence decides to pass back to the keeper, but that emotion is hard to separate out from the rest of the dread I feel through the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? A non starter - the main stand would still have to be opened and used and it would be cost prohibitive to open up another stand - toilets, kiosk etc... and have 2 stands operational to facilitate crowds of 600-700. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The East Stand lights have to go on anyway as the press box is in that stand so I don’t see there being any additional costs involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Callum Smith doing alright?Josh Edwards has started to look the part past few games. A bit raw but he's looked defensively better than Jackson Longridge and Talbot before him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win on Saturday we probably get a decent support at Falkirk not a lot went to Forfar... though plenty of reason why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
