Guest Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Yep, it’s a major shift over the past few years where now, we will feel genuine disappointment at losing a game as opposed to utter amazement at winning one.No doubt in my mind that winning the next two would see us go on to win the league with two or three games to spare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Not looking forward to this match: but as we are so inconsistent this could be worth paying for the surprise. Realistically would have to agree that Falkirk and Partick will be the top 2 and all the rest will be chasing play off positions at both ends of this short season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 As mentioned elsewhere, this shortened season might well offer up the real possibility of two sides being promoted. If in the play off final, I would think that neither Falkirk nor Partick would be filled with dread at playing a QotS, an Arbroath, or an Alloa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Dufresne Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 It's Sam McGivern's 3rd and each one better than the one before. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Over 5,000 at that game. As good a reminder as any that we have to get out of this league as soon as possible 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special times seeing a team of players that would have squished the championship now. Still trying to decide if God actually lost balance or just another trick for the third goal....... Although I was at that game and it's not enjoyable to see it again, those two crosses are super and great headers from Sam McGivern. Interesting to see so many aspects of the Broomfield arena from the Pavilion to the away Pie stall and the nearby Sherriff Court rather than Morrisons supermarket. Seeing the home crowd gathering at the Pavilion end for a wee bit of booing. The crowd looks so much bigger than any in the last 20 years. I might have misheard but does Jock Brown say the first half hat trick was by Alan Lawrence? The squads on both sides do look stronger than todays. Roll on Saturday? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Yep, I remember the new stand behind the goals at Dens Park. A mate Dundee supporter said he had only seen it filled by four visiting sides. The OF, Aberdeen and Falkirk.No longer the case, but we used to have and incredibly high proportion of travelling support versus home support. At one stage, it was actually near enough 70%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Great memories of Broomfield. The walk up those stairs and the long walk back to the busses! We took a very big support to those games. Happy days0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Remember standing in the middle of the already rammed away terracing prior to kick off watching hundreds more Bairns queuing to get in. Really was the best of times as I was too young to appreciate the Cunningham era. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there was no covering then and the end terracing went round to the middle terracing. The crowd was right up to their choir and what an atmosphere, sure the gate was around 13,000 but many people said it was definitely more.Maybe someone can confirm date etc Here you go. I was in the main stand that day with my dad (and many other Falkirk fans). recorded as 13000 I think as you say, but like the quoted 5000 at airdrie games a lot lower than it was in reality 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 1 1 draw in 1994. I was more or less directly opposite you in that photo, in that densely packed terracing. What a jump around when Greg Shaw equalised. OAFT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knee jerk reaction Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Outside cup finals, I think the biggest away support I saw was the game with the Jim Leishman balloons, unfortunately one of the few games they managed to win against us! Had some massive away crowds v airdrie back in the day as well, some good games at broomfield 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my very first away game. My dad who is no longer here took me as a wide eyed 9 year old and that game along with the rest of that unbelievable season(I’m sure the 7-1 Raith game was shortly after) had me hooked for life and gave me an unrealistic expectation of what to expect from following Falkirk. Lovely to see it again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More tense then than in the final moments of cup semi finals we were leading in. There's a certain photo that pops up on Twitter fairly regularly of a small section of the Bairns support that day and I'm bang in the middle of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
