How many will turn up on a Wednesday night in winter at Falkirk? 
Keep warm and COYW

Is that the Scottish version of a cold, rainy Wednesday night in Stoke? 😁

This will be a really difficult game, probably the most difficult in this current run of games. Falkirk are a decent side that play good football. Fair play to McGlynn who seems to want to play the JBA way too.

its also on the plastic as well so I’d be happy with a draw here and then a win against livi on Saturday.

What's the parking like here?

Agree that that it will be a very difficult game. Falkirk are a decent side whose style isn't bad although a tad overhyped. Their most impressive quality right now is the good luck that they're carrying. This season they've received at least one game changing 50/50 decision in their favour in most games. Right now, a draw would be a  great result for us.

Stoke would be a big upgrade from Falkirk.

It’s not a must-win game, but it’s definitely one we should be looking to win comfortably. 0-2 to the ‘Well.

Just went to buy tickets for this and apparently it’s physical tickets only and they can’t be posted now, so somehow need to get to Fir Park during the day before Wed night. Why does Scottish football make going to games so damn difficult at be times, grrrr.

I think Falkirk are big enough now that they don't need to concern themselves with away fans. Quite simply we're an unwanted distraction.

Thats fair enough from their perspective. But they have less than 7k seats.

Not sure if they could have thrown up a temporary stand down the far side for this season, but they are certainly missing out on some significant revenue given the size of this seasons away attendances.

Cant make this one as I have a family event, but I agree it will be a tough game. Be nice to keep our 100% league record on plastic this season, but Id be happy with another point on the road at a difficult venue to keep the gap between the 2 clubs.

Fair comment. I think their stadium capacity is around 7,600, which they could probably just about fill with their own fans alone, at least temporarily, whilst they're on a good run.  Away fans are taking up seats their own fans would use and yes, thats an unwanted irritation.  Thats how they view the situation.

I had a look and official capacity is 7600 but only 6950 seats.

Not sure how that works unless they were allowed standing supporters in the lower leagues?

I think they have 6k season ticket holders so not a lot of space for away fans. No worse than Hibs or Hearts do though.

Very strange, as you suggest. Their attendances this season seem to vary between 7,176 (Livingston) and 7,652 (Rangers and Dundee). I'd guess they allocate about 600-700 seats to away fans.
