relichtie Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Super kev away to the loons ha ha.forfar take who they want from the smokies!!!!Instead of gloating at us losing players to the fermers you should be looking at your own team or lack of one just now. You should also be grateful that your side last season was WAAAASH or Emmerdale would have been raiding you as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo83 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Relichtie point taken my friend.we were washhhh il admit that.you guys were decent first half of the season then just as washhhh as us!last season will be remembered as how the smokies bottled the league and how the mo defied all doubters ;-).And I was hardly gloating,just find it a bit odd how some smokie fans think their the main team in angus when brechin and forfar are streets ahead of them at present hence why they can take who they want from th smaller club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keptie Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Losing Nicoll is all on the boards shoulders. Yeah of course it is,lets chuck money that we don't have at players and watch us go down the tubes. Untill we get a sugar daddy like our angus neighbours we have to live within our means but hey lets just blame the board when players leave cause that's so easy.No big deal losing Nicol imo he was ok but not as good as he thought he was.

speckyboy Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 They average about 500. Last 3 year, excluding the year we had Sevco as it's skewed we've had an average of 721, 684 and 803. Extra paying heads every week must count for something? The hospitality only takes like 40 aswell I'm sure I don't know how they get so much cash to make some of the signings they do Frustrating losing players to them every season Only been on a few times but if Arbroath could fit some kind of wind shields around the ground the gate would double, the cold biting wind puts people of from attending home games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other factors in the equation which gives Forfar and Brechin much more financial clout than us and the Mo. They seen to be able to out spend their money's brought in through the gates. Forfar make a lot from hiring out their pitch but where do Brechin get theirs from is a mystery. Rich benefactors seem the only other avenue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeraldSchumacher Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I'm not that upset about losing Nicoll. He can be a liability when he fecks around with the ball in his own half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clashcityrocker Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Nicoll went through a few bad patches last season and at times he was not up to scratch - towards the end of the season his form dipped and he did not play very well. I think it suits both Nicoll and Arbroath that he has moved - it was time for a change . Still a few players yet to be signed and announced for the new season. C'mon the ' broath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket95 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Who cares about Nicoll, he's gone. He's no coming back. Hopefully hear of new signings soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james. Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Just seen that Craig Wilson from Linlithgow has officially signed!! Confirmed on the clubs Facebook!!Craig is a very good right sided full back and gives his all....he will be a good addition to yojr squad and I would imagine if he fits into the managers plans he will play most weeks if not injured....think he might have played for Forfar or Montrose before having 2 seasons in the juniors but I'm sure he won't let you guys down very steady on the ball and has speed to burn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it suits both Nicoll and Arbroath that he has moved - it was time for a change . Still a few players yet to be signed and announced for the new season. C'mon the ' broath. Totally disagree with you. Yes Nicol had a bad slump. He came back from injury into a team that was starting to struggle. He suffered aswell due to the team playing badly. Moore sacked. Lumsden in and he moves him back into his favoured central midfield role and he starts playing much better. Team starts playing much better. It would have suited Arbroath to have a player who we know can deliver in the middle of the park. But we are left with getting someone else in and hoping he does as good a job. The board has really let the fans and the team down with its wage policy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerafc Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 You can't spend money you don't have. No point in having a great team on big wages if your club goes under. Bit harsh to criticise the boards wage policy without anything to back it up with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit harsh to criticise the boards wage policy without anything to back it up with. Precisely,i wish these supporters who know the wage policy of the board would share it with the rest of us,no word from the board haters about keeping hold of the best player in the league whom there would have been a lot of interest from other clubs.if the board haters were running the club we would be defunct in a year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLichtie86 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Think the problem we have is that the board is stagnant. We need members on the board that can either bring in fresh investment to the club, fresh ideas to generate more income, or both. If clubs like Forfar, Brechin, Berwick, Albion, Stenhousemuir, Etc can constantly offer more wages for players, then we will be heading to the Highland League in the near future. We cant keep letting all our best players leave the club due to our lack of forward thinking. To busy treading water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
