In hindsight, it was a better game than I witnessed at the time and the atmosphere was incredible at the end.
watching it through gritted teeth and spitting blood at the unnecessary pain of buying a ticket online only to spend the first 20 minutes of the game outside in a car park didn’t set it up for an enjoyable afternoon.
Watching an elderly fan with a walking stick being told by Mein Hosts that he has to climb a steep stair with no handrail to get to a seat when there was a a half empty stand in front of him didn’t bring my blood pressure down any.
I can’t blame the shambles that is Falkirk Stadium for Stanways rush of blood but it made mine boil when the first action I witnessed turns out to be the fourth yellow card of a game that organisers allowed to start with half the visiting support unable to enter the ground.
I went to Falkirk to support my frustrating and disappointing (so far) team only to have the whole day ruined by my own foul mood, entirely the result of incompetence, arrogance and a total disregard for fans by the host club.
Falkirk are a shambles, ignorant, disrespectful and incapable of handling a crowd outside of the Highland League (with apologies to the Highland League).
right, that’s that off my chest. Now on to Queens Park…
