Would've been good to have the ground full but if it were Hearts and the old firm I wouldn't want to be outnumbered, although the financial boost would probably be welcomed. Anyway, from the league table falkirk look similar to Airdrie. I'll go 3-1 hearts It’s not brilliant, but not surprising either. Also the financial gain argument is mince. An extra 1300 tickets at 15 quid a pop at best is about 19k, not exactly season changing money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 TV money more than makes up for anything lost at the gate. Home crowd/advantage will be needed I think. Very tough tie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, and with a few u18 tickets etc in there realistically looking at £8k. The financial benefits argument only works when you have a ground like killie/st Johnstone where you can comfortably fit 7 or 8k of the ugly sisters fans in without denying any home fans seats, and charge them 25 quid a pop. Then you’re talking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the BBC saturday isn't too bad, it's Sunday that looks brutal. Might be a bit wet but not too windy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariusZaliukas Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Quite surprised Falkirk have sold so little tickets for this game. Must be their biggest game in a long time as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our biggest games are the next 14 league games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means so little that I think I’d probably prefer a stranraer win on Saturday to a falkirk win - being 6 points behind with east fife next is giving me the fear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft kick off time, live on the BBC and an expected pummeling doesn't make for a big crowd. Just got to hope it's one of those days where everything goes right and we sneak through. I always regretted not going to the 3-2 cup game against Rangers at TFS (Mark Millar winner), I thought we'd get pummeled, was midweek and i had work the next day so I gave it a bye. Made a point of not missing these types of games since. "Had work the next day"????? Do you need about 14 hours sleep before a shift or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkthebigclub Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Can see this going to a replay, do Hearts still have that police box at the front of their main stand? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
