Think the Club have handled this whole thing brilliantly.
Clear communications as quickly as possible, and a fair, well thought out plan with times and deadlines. Made the best of a horrible & difficult situation.
Hopefully that's another few half season tickets and hospitality days sold on the back of that.
So sorry the Campbell's weren't there to see it first hand - "Well that's anither 3 points closer tae survival"
I'm starting to look forward to 2 teams dropping out of the Championship this season, and getting replaced by Cove and the mighty Mo......did I actually say that ?
Assuming Ricky will be back, big Hendo will be disappointed if he's left out and I have sympathy for him.
I'd certainly start with Dowds and Nouble up top as they were immense in the 2nd half v Thistle
Whilst not wishing to intrude on your own personal grief....on to the match.
I hope a few Ton fans make the trip. Not long ago there would be 4-500 vociferous fans, 6 buses following you everywhere.
Where did it all go wrong - no hang on !!
We'll all be devastated to see the back of the Big Man - what a talent and an even bigger human being.
Don't want to get too distraught just yet (). Hopefully the fans get right behind him in the last few games.
WOW.....I think you'll have most people on this forum stumped with that line up.
Remember the goalie (he must have just been a boy then.)
Was Jim Fraser ex-Clyde ?
It pains me to say this.......but could this be Joel Nouble's last game at Gayfield. I fear he may be recalled by the time the Hamilton game comes around. I hope I'm wrong.
Really saddened to read about Ian Stirling. That was the first Arbroath team I remember. Just remember him as a big, uncompromising leader of a man with a fair bit of skill. RIP Big Stirry.
It's a very good point you make about entertainment value.
The previous match Berra and another horse of a defender spent the match on Nouble's back wrestling him off the ball and were applauded for robust defending.
Of course you play to your strengths but surely spectators want to see skill and not brute strength !!!
Glad you enjoyed your day
