Lichtie78 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Dick Campbell wants the Forfar fans as far away as possible for the entire game! The Arbroath dugout is closer to the away section so this doesn't really work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Segregation is w**k YupReally poor, thankfully I'm in hospitality so will get right in the middle of the stand for shooting towards the pleash end Atmosphere will be brutal, already is when shooting the other way at the mo games and the mo games have been up to 1400 in recent seasonsNever mind the 7/800 or whatever there'll be Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farflung lichtie Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I'm certain the totally unnecessary segregation arrangements is due entirely to the police copping out as increasingly usual. they claim crime rates are down but it's because people realise it's pointless reporting them. They spend most of their time on soft (education, communication) activities rather than real policing. Given the complete lack of any aggro between Arbroath and Forfar supporters throughout recorded history, this move confirms the polis are just not up for a little bit extra policing but would rather have a metal fence do their job. I hope that same fence receives the same in-work benefits 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 We might as well segregate the Stirling Uni game as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent shout, Templeman did score against Farfir last week something our strikers have not done all season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are they supposed to have scored against Forfar when we've not played them?I presume that's what you mean as Skelly and Hester have both scored in competitive games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry should have stated our main strikers Doris/Prunty have not scored yet this season but hopefully they will start against Farfir, hope this clears up the misunderstanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just being pedantic You'd have Doris and Prunty up top against Forfar?I'd probably go for Doris and Skelly. Looked like they were forming a decent partnership after the Stirling and Clyde games but since then Dick's chopped and changed. It's not really coming off for Prunty at the moment, which is a shame as I thought he'd be a very decent signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogs_Dollox Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I find it funny how they will segregate us inside the ground but both sets of fans can mingle and walk to cars afterwards with no bother 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victormeldrew Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 How does this segregation nonsense affect entry to the stand? Our legion of coffin Dodgers like a seat,a nice cup of tea and a Flemings pie to sustain us while we hurl abuse at all and sundry. If I don't get a seat I'm no coming! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 I've never really sat in the stand so I'm not sure, but I think Forfar fans get around 1/3 of the stand, closest to Pleasureland End. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtie78 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 I imagine the police have said if we don't segregate the game then we'll need to cough up money for extra policing, meaning it's cheaper to segregate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much would it cost for a couple of extra polis for 2 hours? Don't get it, there was already 3 or 4 police at the Cowden game wasn't there? Also whats the point in having so many stewards? What do they actually do except take plastic bottles off bairns? Now I know it's not in their job description to be stopping fights but surely a few polis which are usually at games anyway and the stewards combined (as well as the fans) could easily deal with any potential bother before it starts at an Arbroath Forfar game? Just totally shite, losing access to half the ground at your home games 4 games of the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
