Sportsters round the corner allow kids in if they have some food off the kids menu. There's about 75 screens in there and a couple of pool tables. That's where I tend to go to watch Scotland matches and before our games. A home game for me this weekend. Falkirk fans I spoke to this morning on P&B said BTW still run the bus, can get tickets at the bar. Not sure if it's free or not right enough.

Ayrshire Saints Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 3 hours ago, div said: Me and the wee man are getting the train to Falkirk High and walking down to Behind The Wall which is a great boozer in town for a pint and some good grub. They run a bus to the stadium apparently, can buy tickets behind the bar. Yip either BOTW or Sporsters is my plan for me and the boy. Both decent food and child friendly. Four of us going now so just walk down the hill into town then a taxi after lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves the pub around 2.30. Takes you back from the ground as well, leaving from the back of the South Stand (behind the goal at the home end), so you'll need to be out the away end sharpish after the match. Make a note of the number plate as well, a few pubs in the town run a similar service and the white coaches they use can look pretty similar. Sometimes they lay on a double decker for a big crowd though. Any idea of the numbers St Mirren will bring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If dry, will give my legs a bit of exercise by parking at my old work, near the central retail park, and will walk to and from the stadium. Nice walk on a dry day. Nice area down at the stadium now - the Kelpies and the park around them are excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

div Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Yeah I'd expect slightly more than 1000, maybe 1200 through on Sat. Easter weekend, will be a few buds away with the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm getting the 10:51 from Johnstone on Sat, gets us into Central for 11:06 Then getting the 11:45 from Queen Street to Falkirk High, gets us there for 12:04 15 min walk to BTW I believe, unless we get lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whydowebother Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 If we have less than 1500 I will be astonished! Wholeheartedly agree. I personally think 1750-2000 for various reasons.Great run we are onNo longer in relegation/play off zoneImportance of staying ahead of teams below with just 4 games to goTaking more than away on Tuesday night should be simpler than a work dayThe fact our away support is second to none in this league Oh and we won't lose this gameThat's plenty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
