Falkirk Supporters Society (FSS) wants to put our fans back at the heart of our club.

Like other clubs, this is only made possible by all Bairns working together.

By signing up to pay a minimum £10 each month into a fund, we will build a shareholding in the club for all Bairns, under a collective agreement held in the name of the Falkirk Supporters Society.

Why? The more shares we have, the more say we have.

We want to be a major part of the future of our club and not just leave it to the current shareholders.

We want to be a positive influence on the way our club works and evolves in the future. To be part of our return to the higher divisions of the Scottish Football Leagues.

We want to protect our club from harm, be that predatory investors like we saw a couple of years ago, or damaging decisions, like closing the Academy.

And we want to progress our club by bringing fan investment, advice and talent into the club, including the boardroom.

Other fans elsewhere have shown this can be done. And with your help we will do it too.

ABOUT US

We are a group of fans who are working together to start off the campaign to buy shares in Falkirk Football Club and use them collectively for the best future of the club and team. Some of us have been involved in other campaigns and supporters organisations.

The elected members of the FSS are: Alan MacFarlane, Anna O’Donnell, John Fleming, Kev Beattie, Mike Dickins, Pablo Robertson, Peter Jack, Scott Steel, Stuart Adam, Stuart Brown and Ross Wayne.

When the Falkirk support gets together they can do great things. In a couple of months time, we celebrate the centenary of Falkirk holding the World Transfer Record when the supporters raised the cash to buy Syd Puddefoot from West Ham for £5,000. In our lifetime, the supporters saved the club from going out of business with the phenomenal efforts of Back the Bairns. A united and focussed fans organisation could add othe chapters to the story. As a well-known sports manufacturer says- Just Do It!

Michael White, Falkirk FC Heritage Trust and club historian

Balanced ownership and democratic governance are key to a successful and sustainable future. Supporters have an essential role to play in rebuilding the club, so I’d encourage them to invest in the Falkirk Supporters’ Society scheme.

Kenny Jamieson, Back the Bairns (2019)

The club needs to listen to Falkirk fans and I hope FSS will make that happen. It’s our club after all.

Wully Laing, founder of COYB Facebook group

The Junior Bairns are one of the most important ways in which our club’s future can be assured. By involving kids in the success of the team, and fun events off the park, we’ll attract the next generation of Bairns to the club. I’m delighted we’re working with FSS, whose fundraising for shares by fans will do the same thing - give future generations a successful team to follow.

Sarah Scott, Junior Bairns.

Running the CI has introduced me to many supporters within the large passionate fanbase our club possesses. It has also left me in no doubt that the best way to protect the clubs past, present and future is to have a voice at the top table with meaningful supporter representation that the FSS is striving to achieve.

David McInally, The Crunchie Initiative

Falkirk fans saved the club in 1998. I never want Falkirk to go through that again and believe that fans involved in the club making decisions is the best insurance policy we have.

Kevin McAllister, Falkirk FC Player of the Millennium

Falkirk fans are the best in the world and having more of a say in how their club is run is a great idea.

Derek McWilliams, Falkirk FC 1987-91

Players, managers and administrators come and go but the one constant at a football club is the supporters, the most important stakeholders who always have the club’s best interests at heart. Supporters deserve to have a say in how their club is run, or at the very least be in the loop as to how it is. Community ownership is on the rise in Scottish football because it can facilitate just that. However it only works if we all get behind it as a supporter base. I know I will be.

Paddy Haines, South Stand season ticket holder and Scottish Football Supporters Association project manager

I know Falkirk supporters always back their club. This initiative means they can improve their club with investment while getting more say, so I’m all for it.

Sam McGivern, Falkirk FC 1986-93, 2021-

Although Equity Bairns has a unique fan-based model that aims to help both the club and local charities financially, it is a pleasure to see another fans group come onto the scene that will give Falkirk supporters a greater chance to participate and have a democratic say in the governance of our club. The more fans that get involved in initiatives such as the FSS, can only result in a brighter future for Falkirk FC.

Mark Jeruzal, Equity Bairns

Most people know I’ve long been an advocate of both a youth development programme and also fan involvement in the club. We’ve watched on as teams far smaller than ours have successfully established significant fan ownership percentages. If they can do it, then absolutely so can we! This is the first step on that positive journey, please give it your support.

Lewis Connolly, Falkirk TV

Everyone in football knows that at a club the only constant are the fans. Therefore, it is crucial that their voice be heard in the running of the club. FSS gives Falkirk fans the opportunity to do just that - raise the issues that matter to us, influence change and protect the club. To succeed, FSS needs every type of fan, and we aim to provide an open and welcoming platform for all.

Anna O’Donnell, FSS Committee Member and former SFA Youth Ambassador

A rebranded FSS with new people driving the group in a positive manner will create new ethos within the club, allowing the partnership between Falkirk fans and the club to flourish as we climb the leagues.

Alex Hastings, Carronshore FSC.
