NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Alloa gave us a couple of really tough games at the recs. Glad to be back on our big pitch for this one. Just got to go on another winning run 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitcake Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Apologies if humour is being deployed here but is it not the case that Alloa's pitch is 3 yards wider than Falkirk's? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is but we often hear about Alloa's wee pitch, despite it being one of the bigger parks. Probably a legacy of the two occasions in the last decade when the pitch was reduced for short spells. We certainly did well in the two recent games against Falkirk and might well have done better than a defeat and a draw. In between those was a real shocker of an away result at Airdrie. We'll need to much better than that to have a chance of getting anything at Falkirk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStander1876 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Flashbacks of the lines being pushed in about 12 yards everytime I go to the recs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's also an element of people bizarrely assuming there's a direct relationship between pitch and club size. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oweny Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 The Recs before AstroTurf was one of the biggest pitches in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alloa's pitch may be slightly larger but its proximity to the perimeter of the terrace/stands makes it feel tighter. The pitch at TFS has the opposite effect. The stands are set quite for from the pitch and the open space makes the pitch feel very large. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeodhasXD Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Falkirk's pitch is slightly larger than ours. There's only about a 1% difference. Ours is wider and shorter and theirs is longer and narrower. Pretty negligible in the scheme of things. Both are massive when compared to somewhere like Tynecastle - vividly remember Robbie Neilson complaining about our tight park and it's at points like this you lose any interest in what managers have to say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevchenko Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 There's a preview of the game on this week's episode of our podcast if you fancy a listen (recorded before the Darvel game so you can enjoy as I confidently predict them papping Falkirk out the cup!). Big thanks to @RC55 FFC for jumping on in the second half to help preview Saturday. https://waspsnest.buzzsprout.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
