I feel old.

No. In an ideal world we'd play it on Boxing Day. No idea why we no longer play games that day. Instead pre Christmas games like Raith away get shunted to a Friday night.

At that age it probably is time to call it a day, although its unfortunate the timing of it and the scenes from what I've seen. It will be interesting to see where Arbroath go from here as they've probably improved the most out of all the clubs in Scotland over the last ten years or so.

I was in a pub in Tarbert while I'm here looking after the old dear for the weekend, fizzing about missing the football and then absolutely raging at the score. Full of local *** fans, some of whom were trying to indulge in shite patter and about thirty odd in total in the pub. I go to the toilet disgusted we've lost, come out and saw the name "McGinty 90+6" and went mental as if I was at Balmoor. I could barely hear a pin drop Regardless of the shite season we're having its all about those moments.

I've found it much easier this season getting served in the Hub although I tend not to buy anything after 2:30. The staff have definitely grown into their roles.

We currently only have one Saturday fixture v Partick this season. Fitting in midweek league games yet reserving a Saturday in August for an early league cup game and finishing the league on a Friday night is the thought process of a bellend.

Yes I've just seen that too, cheers. Think Scotrail were hasty with the message about suspended networks.

Only to Inverkeithing where buses were running. Not any more.

Trains from Edinburgh to Fife are suspended again tomorrow

Amber warnings issued now for the area and even red warnings further North. Not a chance.

They did. I'm sure another Scottish club used that tune in the past from memory, possibly Forfar. I was expecting more recent tunes from the lad to be honest.

There were loads of Dundee Utd fans in the Hub in the recent game, no problems either.

Excellent, cheers for that.

I was one of them that couldn't make it but bought a match ticket, had to be done for a player that brought me so much joy over the years. Are there any programmes left from yesterday and if so will they be on sale in the shop on Saturday?

Just had an email from Arbroath to say we're being put in the stand

Ah. So you're saying I've made an arse of it?

Yeah thats what I thought until I looked closely at the QR code for this year's season ticket and compared it! I know you were given the option of asking for a card for this season but thought you could either use last season's card or a pdf from an email. It was never stated that the card from last season wouldn't work for those people renewing as far as I can recall.

I'm not too frequent on here at the moment but in case it hasn't been mentioned in previous pages I don't think last season's plastic season ticket card will work this year even if you renew. I looked at the "My membership cards" section and the QR code looks different compared to last season's card. https://tickets.ayrunitedfc.co.uk/guest_member_cards So I've had to save the pdf via the "Print Members card" option then email it to my phone. Surely it would be easier to just email everyone the pdf for those that have renewed.

Yeah I might do that. Not that I know how to actually get there!

I wonder if some fans might be put off buying season tickets this season because the North Terrace is shut. I know I'm not looking forward to spending the whole season behind the goal.

Quite a poignant picture that. Lots of good and not so good memories getting shovelled into the skip.

Aye I have this "oh well back to Peterhead next season" feeling in my head!

Hmmm.

Ah well we all thought it was over after Alloa....

Firing blanks up front without Dipo.
