Anotherlichtie Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I think it’s time to move on from the Dick Campbell circus. The man clearly has resentment towards Arbroath Football Club and its support. From the outside it looks like the guy is going through some issues so if this helps him release then so be it. I personally think it’s complete fabrication. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick is dragging the supporters (shareholders) through the mud here I agree - would also like to get to the bottom of this spitting thing there must be footage out there of him walking back to the tunnel.

May Rckinnon Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 RE: the spitting incident. Dick could well be telling the truth, problem is, he's worse than the boy who cried wolf with his nonsense. Wouldn't bother asking Douglas for an opinion, he's just as bitter as Campbell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has been spat on, it’s a disgusting, cowardly assault, and it’s an assault, the sheriff at Aberdeen Sheriff Court, said so, when he gave the perpetrator 30days, so if this happened it’s time to name and shame 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farflung lichtie Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Meanwhile…..to revert to a previous topic, I don’t really mind what division we play in but we need to be competitive in most games. That doesn’t necessarily mean challenging at the top. I’m even slightly envious of Brechin with their interesting Highland League fixtures. However, one concern is that if teams do go down, the slide can easily continue. Hence, I expect us to make a determined effort in our final 14 games of this season to strive for survival by any means 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFC360PUNK1320 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 The problem in regards Arbroath FC Board making a statement on "spit-gate" is do they really want to make this into a drama which will never stop with both the Club and DC given counter-claims or do they say nothing and hope it just goes away and everybody move on. To be fair to the AFC Board (who i am not saying i agree with everything they have down but in my view they have done 95% a great job for our Club) they are in a " no win" situation as fans will moan if they make a statement and fans will moan if they say nothing. I remember a Brechin City fan at my work about 2 years ago telling me "it will all end in tears with DC" and he basically told me what would happen as it happened at his Club then also at Forfar Athletic and i laughed at him but he was 100% correct. Brechin City - steady the ship - success - great times - things going wrong - ends in tears Forfar Athletic - steady the ship - success - great times - things going wrong - ends in tears Arbroath FC - steady the ship - success - great times - things going wrong - ends in tears Treatment of fans favourites Sir Bobby Linn and James Craigen to name but 2 players Now who is the common denominator here? I will state again what DC and his backroom staff done for the Red Lichties i will always thank them and hold them in high regard but they way it has ended has left me sad and saying it should have been more of a celebration as it is frustrating we never got a chance to thank them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) This is really good. Things like this are so simple to do but very important for fans. Interesting to note that training is now split between Edinburgh and Dundee. Guessing it’s been because of how poor weathers been - outdoor at Perth can’t have been much use throughout the winter we’ve just had but chairman also mentioning that it’s also for the better facilities for the players.

lichtie23 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Aye that’s good to see. Some information for the supporters. Mike has always come across as a really nice and down to earth guy and always speaks well. I will say though that the overall message I got from the interview/video was that it’s another “Always Arbroath” pitch.

In fairness, doesn't pretty much every managerial stint ever end in tears? I don't think your workmate is quite at the level of Nostradamus there! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farflung lichtie Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 The Campbell regime = among the best in AFCs history but time for all to move on. Even the sainted Albert Henderson and Paul Sheeran eras ended. It would be nice to avoid a little rancorous aftermath but hold onto the rosy memory of these remarkable years, which would be hard for any manager to replicate. As stated all political (and managerial) careers “end in failure”. While down memory lane, I note Arbroath’s last previous stint in the second tier over 20 years ago (2002-3), saw us end the season with a points tally of 15 and an average attendance of 759 - which we will exceed this season. Note our fairly successful previous season there (2001-2, accumulating 48 points) garnered an average attendance of only 959. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
