Ticket Info for Falkirk

Falkirk have the upper hand in league fixtures between the clubs with 34 wins to the Pars 27.  Despite the derby status that can suggest that form and expectations can be drastically wrong, both sides have won more home matches than they have lost but Dunfermline`s record in this away fixture is not great.  Their win at the Falkirk Stadium on Hogmanay at least lifted the Pars off the record of losing twice as many as they had won against the Bairns on their home ground.

Having taken so long to find some home form in the SPL Falkirk are now unbeaten in their last four league matches at their new ground. Somewhat unusually given last season`s form Dunfermline are unbeaten in their last three SPL matches on the road and given the Bairns fine win at Tannadice on the opening day of the season this should be a close encounter.

Referee Craig Thomson will be in charge of this SPL match.  Hopefully his record with Dunfermline will continue; in the only four matches in charge of Pars games last season, we won 4-3 at Kilmarnock, drew 3-3 with Rangers on Boxing Day, won 1-0 at both Livingston and Tannadice.

Come on ye Pars!
