That’s where I think this is going and I’m pretty sure the Falkirk chairman thinks the same.

Certainly reads that way, in a way it's hard to argue against it.

It is a shame for the likes of Falkirk who lose supports to the old firm. They area a medium sized outfit who have underachieved for a long time and need to pull themselves back into it. There are clubs out there that need to go part time to remain viable.

Falkirk do definitely lose support to the OF but they are probably losing as many at the moment by being badly run and having a crap team. My in laws are all Falkirk fans and hat 5 STs between them. Now none of them go and especially their kids have lost all interest.

Still tickles me that if their fans hadn't done a pitch invasion to celebrate a goal against QoS they might have stayed up 😂😂

Falkirk were incredibly unlucky when they had arguably a top six Premiership squad with us, Rangers and Hearts down with them.

That is a real tragedy! I guess after watching the YouTube link in the Falkirk Q&A thread, you can hear and see why they have fallen down.

Got humped off an awful Kilmarnock in the playoffs and lost a scottish cup final to 10 man inverness. They were just better at beating Dumbartons and Livis than us. Squad was no where near the quality of ours.

I sincerely hope the review results in the banning of plastic pitches along the way

It’s a lifeline for the lower leagues though, but shouldn’t be in the top division

I would cautiously suggest that clubs that need to generate revenue from 5 a side games through the week shouldn’t be anywhere near the top tier of Scottish football.

Ours was a very good squad though.

They were a decent side, I still have nightmares about playing them. Brilliant spirit, were never beaten, some decent individuals and had a horrible habit of getting late goals.
