Salvo Montalbano Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 As well we shouldn't. Couple of million Falkirk fans spending their navy blue pound on Pars TV will surely fill the coffers. Pars TV is OK, nothing more than that. Main camera is OK, commentators aren't as biased as Falkirk TV or Fermer Innes at Arbroath and prone to the odd error and the sound levels can be a bit iffy. Always seems to be some sort of connection issue although it's usually resolved pretty quickly. It's better than the Pixalot streams, about par with the Falkirk/QoS/Arbroath stream and not quite as good as the one from the Wee Team along the A92. Well done to both sets of fans for buying tickets it has to be said, I thought the fact it was a Tuesday, the weather forecast and Falkirk having a big game not on the season tickets would have dented their sales, and our support has held firm for a good few years now but we don't always fill the home stands so to get anything like 8,000 is a superb effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStander1876 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I think the numbers may be a bit misleading. A lot of fans with tickets for the 2nd might not have been arsed to refund their ticket if they're not going, or forgot they had the original and bought a new ticket. Hope I'm wrong. Still will be a great support from both sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Regarding the North East, surely we could open the 2/3 sections nearest the NW? That would still keep at least 40 yards between the fans in there and the away fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly with someone with a hand held reader as an extra turnstile they could easily get folk in, would be a shame to miss out when there is obvious demand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 With that surely the problem still comes with entering and exit? The turnstiles for the NE are at the back of the stand, traditionally to get to them you go around the back of the Cowdenbeath end. When you have the police out training in riot gear they're absolutely going to try and prevent any mingling between fans in perceived bottlenecks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Whats the problem? We had it full against the wee team in 2011 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigypar Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 My brother emailed the club this afternoon regarding the North East as he would rather sit there than main stand. The response was "At the moment the stand will not be open for tomorrow's match". To me that would suggest if the rest of the tickets currently on sale shift then they will look to open it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have police blocking access via the east side of the ground? Open the gate at the NW turnstiles, so that fans with NE tickets go through the car park that way. 7 minutes ago, NUMBER 7 said: Has a League 1 / Championship Playoff scheduled dates been released yet ? Obviously in May but any specifics ? Will be Tuesday 9th May and Saturday 13th for semi final and Thursday 18th and Sunday 21st for the final. Both legs of final will be on Alba, I’d imagine. Don’t think it’s been announced officially, but that’s the usual format. Basically, if Falkirk want to keep players sharp for the Scottish Cup final, it would make sense for them to make sure they’re in the playoffs and don’t win the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems strange it's such a big issue. go to parkhead or ibrox tyncastle etc and segregation is just a row of high viz sitting in seats. whats the point in having capacity if you can't use it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaton Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) I suspect they're just opening sections as the tickets sell so as to avoid extra expense in stewarding etc to have a few hundred in there and empty seats elsewhere. Just a hunch by the way they've opened it up bit by bit already Edited March 6, 2023 by Heaton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
