Definitely not, basically you have to be a complete w**k to get bother there, and doubt any queens park would fall into that category. Great having the football back. Few beers tonight taste better having the wee buzz of a big game tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better with a full south stand imo. Completely disagree tbh. Falkirk fans in the North Stand is infinitely better (even just 3-500) and I gather the players feel the same 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Last time I was in the NS to support us was when big Danny McBreen waltzed around the keeper to rescue a 1-1 draw in the Scottish Cup versus Ross County. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice big beer garden at the Graeme Hotel as well so if its a nice day I would recommend there, be more than welcome. However the nachos at behind the wall are dynamite if you are wanting a munch. Still not decided where I'm going yet. First game back for the laddie and ma old man today so I'm buzzing for it!!!

RC55 FFC Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Elliots is absolutely fine. You’d need to be an idiot to get any issues from the Bairns in there. Mill Inn is fine too & is still frequented by a good bunch of Bairns fans. Enjoy your day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having fans at both ends clearly will improve the atmosphere. God only knows that place needs it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would be feasible tbh. There are no safe means of doing so without being pitch side whether that be down the East side which isn't suitable to walk down without breaking an ankle on the rubble or by going along the main stand which would be a H&S issue since the number of fans going through the stand could potentially exceed the capacity of the stand (Unlikely I know but still a possibility). *IF* we ever had a East stand/Terrace, I would like to see it designed in a way where it could be easily accessible from the SS (possibly a paddock style terrace at the front) but that is wishful thinking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Don't think that would ever be a goer. In fact it's a feckin crazy idea. You going to let away fans do it aswell and have them milling about in the south and north stand too? Never going to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially 4,000 supporters walking across or around the pitch in a 15 minute period? Aye, you make a good point, however both stands hold less than 2000 and not every fan would make the move. We'd probably be looking at around 1500 or so tops. (Away fans, if there were any in the NS, wouldn't be allowed to move). It would have to be around the East side for reasons that LtL points out so a path would need to be laid to connect the stands. I don't see any problem in letting folk move maybe 5 minutes either side of half time either. It probably wouldn't work if there was any significant number of away fans anyway so, after promotion , could only happen on a limited basis. I'm all for LtL's idea re any new terrace though, surely the priority in designing it would be linking the two areas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
