Seats were horrific. Back rest is too low and flimsy. When fellow fans want in and out its a nightmare.

Probably need a bit of experience in the team tho. ie someone.

You're right...there is no way we are spending £500k on a 30 year old...it completely goes against our business plan

Its the start of the season we will be in draw mode for a few weeks.

Im Glad ive got an aisle seat, at least it gives me somewhere to go when people want in or out of the row, being in the middle must be a nightmare. Oh and dont lean on or grab the seat back for support, as it wont hold as i nearly found out to my cost last night 😂

A decent start to the season proper. Some very good individual performances and a good team performance given where we are in the season and the limited availability of key squad members. My thoughts on the new guys playing last night: Paulsen did OK. He made a couple of saves that I'd expect of any keeper, and his distribution was, for the most part, acceptable. However, he looked a bit jittery. Maybe just early season nerves. Our central pairing of Moorman and Girdwood-Reich was reasonably solid, though I do worry about pace there. They didn't seem all that quick, and I thought that Girdwood-Reich seemed a bit unbalanced and unsure, almost clumsy at times. I'm not sure that he is the ball-playing centre-half that replaces Welsh. Then again, that's his first game in a Well jersey so no level of familiarity with his teammates. Williams did well for someone that had only just signed and probably met his teammates a day or so before the match. More to come from him as he settles in for sure. Vogt gave a vastly improved performance from the Genk match. A quiet first half, but he seemed to get the bit between his teeth second half resulting in some really good runs, and with a bit of composure he would have got a goal. Finally, our academy graduate, Booth. I felt that he acquitted himself well. He got into some great spaces between the lines and was constantly looking for the ball. He could have been used more by his teammates. One for the future. For the rest: Wilson did OK. I felt that his forward movement was pretty good. He made some good runs, but didn't receive the ball as often as he could have. He did get caught on the ball, in advanced positions a couple of times, but overall OK on the night. Fadinger and Priestman ran midfield. Very assured, dominating performance from both. Said, well, he was Said. Great touches on the ball, terrible decision making and even worse finishing. If only he could improve on either one, he'd be a real asset. Sparrow did what he pretty much always does. He was energetic and competent, solid not flashy; he rarely lets you down. I'd like to think that we have enough to see us through to the next round, but this tie is not over. HB showed enough to suggest that they will score next week. I just hope that we get one first, which will likely be enough to win the tie.

I was not a fan of Wilson as a player and I thought we’d seen the last of him when he went off to Raith but credit where it’s due, I thought he played really well last night and looked a better player than the one that left us. The manager sees something in him and sometimes that’s all that matters to raise your game, confidence goes up and performances improves… long may his form continue

Definetly could have been more goals last night, though if anyone had offered a 2-0 win before our first competitive game I would definetly have taken it Another bumper crowd last night which was very pleasing

Definitely not for that amount of money.

Also, Stephen Welsh got subbed after 82 minutes, and Lennon Miller at half time.

A classic example of a player who took pelters for years after he joined us for being big and useless.

Its certainly not our model to be fair. Re-sale value is usually important to us, especially if we are paying a fee for someone. However, with the churn of this seasons squad and the profit already banked, could we be looking at just getting someone tried and tested in that will do a job and stay for 2/3 seasons?

I'd be surprised if Falkirk were looking to sell him or if he was looking to leave to begin with tbh. A 30 year old midfielder who has 1 season in the top division with no resale value who you'll get 2 years out of (maybe 3 at the very most)? No, he's not worth anything like £400-500k and if anyone is daft enough to spend that money on him it'll certainly not be us.

Well done to Captain Sparrow and his young crew. Off to the North Atlantic next week for the next battle. Hopefully get through that with no astro turf injuries.

Spiderpig posted about this the other day. Club needed to do a rush job to get seats in. If nothing in place we couldn't use that stand. Would like to think will be proper upgrade. If any consolation my seat in hunter stand with my wee legs was perfect 🤪🤪

Yup should be easy to do as long as there are seats available

Well, with respect, I dont think Falkirk are selling him for that amount of money! Do you not rate him as a player? Is he not worth it? Like I said previously, Ive never paid any real attention to him, so Ive no idea what he is worth.

First time I've seen them last night and made sure to inspect for jagged edges on my seat and ones adjacent but have to say was all smooth. The original wooden seats would never get confused for Qatar Airlines business class so I'm thinking the footprint of the new ones must be larger which is causing an issue? Was quite a procedure to allow people by, no much wiggle or any other room. The spacing was set in early 60's was it when the stand was extended & rebuilt i presume and the average height and waist of the patrons is not decreasing so what to do? Oh aye it looked like it'd never been wiped at all since wooden ones were removed, needed a right good wipe. Thinking aisle seat or right down the front next time.

Is it not 50% to prizes 50% to the club. 100% increase in a ticket seems a bit steep. £1 is the correct leval .

Kirk is without doubt one of my favourite players ever - even outside the cup I loved his attitude . the cup was fantastic . I remember feeling confident in extra time because he hasn’t scored yet and he didn’t let us down . Despite all of that and him being a cult hero I don’t believe he’s the best ever signing . I more think he was the worse ever sell - I was livid that we traded him and McGill and for eddy May and money - wtf

Cooper all day everyday.

Whit yer knees ? Seriously have yet to see what mine look like. Not looking forward to it if the numerous reports are correct.

Stevie Kirk for almost singlehandedly winning us the Scottish Cup A day never to forget !

That amount didn't even cover the cost of his da's club car back in the day.
