Falkirk Won the Championship and Nearly Doubled Their Turnover

In the 2024-25 season covered by these accounts, which run to May 2025, Falkirk won the Scottish Championship under John McGlynn in their first season back in the second tier, returning to the top flight for the first time since 2010. Their unbeaten league run stretched to 42 matches, one of the longest in Scottish history, and they also reached the League Cup quarter-finals.

Turnover rose by around 78% to around £4.5m, up from around £2.5m. Record season ticket sales, the cup run and a winning side drawing bigger crowds all played a part. The figures cover a Championship season, so they understate what the club earns now it is in the Premiership.

The consolidated accounts show a pre-tax profit of around £1.5m, a rare thing for a club in the second tier. Cash stood at around £1.5m, helped by those season ticket sales. Net assets rose to around £4.5m, reflecting the purchase of the Kevin McAllister Stand and a revaluation of the stadium, which puts a key asset back under the club's control.

The accounts don't break out a separate staff costs figure, so we can't say how much of the turnover went on the title-winning squad. The club employed 53 people, and relies on the continued support of the Falkirk Supporters Society, a major shareholder. It came up with a profit, a stronger balance sheet and room to grow.
