Tattie36 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) I remember being at the 1-1 cup game v Aberdeen. My dad got stand tickets for himself, me and my older brother. The first time I’d sat in the stand and the first time I’d been in a proper big crowd at Gayfield. I thought we had a chance in the replay but I think we got pumped 5-0 at Pittodrie . The Ibrox win was my first ever football memory. I remember watching the highlights and my granny’s in Dundee at night. Even as a 5 year old I remember being chuffed that my home town team had won and that it was on the TV.

Unfortunately, I was watching the reserves getting hammered 0-5 by Rangers Reserves on the Saturday However, Scotsport was on Sunday afternoons at the time. The STV colour TV cameras were at Ayr races on the Saturday, so they filmed the game at Ibrox. When transmitted, the sound was a good few seconds ahead of the film, so John Fletcher was only collecting the ball at halfway when the commentator (Arthur Montford?) was announcing that he had scored! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or marcos on the shore I would say (yes might take stick for that but feel like it’s improved in recent years) I live in Forfar now and they’re utter shite through here so maybe everywhere just seems much better now who knows Edited October 5, 2023 by 1320Lichtie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerafc Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) The Harbour which used to be peppos use beef dripping which is always a bonus. The Cairnie chip shop is also decent as is the Marina and Golden a Haddock. Lots of good options. Not a fan of Marcos but not had it in years so could well be better now.

Thank you in advance. When I'm up in Arbroath I usually go to Peppos (now the Harbour). Marco's is also fine. When I lived in Arbroath, and this is going back 20 years, I liked the Round O. haven't been for a few years though, is it still going? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any questions etc. just get in touch and of course if anyone has any further AFC footage from the past that we can get online please do get in touch SUPERB Simon, was at every game apart from the St Mirren game, great memories, keep it up, 36-0. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tattie36 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Not a bad day for us without kicking a ball. Keeps us clear of the bottom and keeps us in touch at the top. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkfish85 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 After losing the first 3 , win the last game of the quarter and we are 4th at worst and possibly 3rd. Always count on this team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
