“I believe it is key to create a positive environment where
players are encouraged to push themselves and try things.
In the coming season we aim to encourage players who
were developed through the junior system at the club
into the first team squad and hopefully the first XV
will get promoted.”
Club Captain Harry Russell
clubhouse facilities are not big enough to cope with the
demands. The next phase of development for the club is
to extend the clubhouse and changing rooms to help bring
the off field facilities up to the same standard as the playing
fields. Falkirk boasts probably the best grass rugby pitches
in Central Scotland. That is initially down to a great deal
of investment by the club and the continued efforts of our
groundsman Bill Arkley and his team of helpers.
In the next 5 years, Falkirk intend to have a 1st team
established in the higher levels of Scottish Rugby, a
thriving youth section supporting those senior teams with
upgraded facilities to make the post-match festivities much
more attractive. Falkirk wants to firmly embed themselves
at the heart of the community and invite anyone and
everyone down to the club to see what we have and what
we are trying to achieve.
