Lichtielegend Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 That game basically summed up our season. The build up promised a lot but once on the pitch, nothing was delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 End of season feel to the game. Thought Arbroath shaded it but neither side did enough to win it. Look forward to next season and see what new players can be attracted in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Possibly the worst atmosphere I've seen at Gayfield, especially for a derby game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummo Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Our crowds have been the best in the league by a fair bit since we've been in it. We had just under 600 last week against Berwick when we are as bad as we are now. What kind of crowds should we be getting at the moment??? (Eta: 620 is our average, 3rd best in the league and 70 behind Elgin, even though were 9th and have been utter pish since January 2015.... We were top last season and sitting top at Christmas too) This wind tunnel talk is a lot of shite, Gayfield can get really windy at times but the majority of the time it's not any worse than the rest. I like the 'wallowing around' chat, are you for real. The lowest I've seen us finish since I've been going, roughly 2000, is 4th in this league, I've seen us win the league and the promotion play offs, also get promoted by finishing 2nd behind Partick Thistle, play in the 1st/2nd and 3rd division, seen us involved in 3 other promotion play offs, 1 to go up to the Championship for a second time, 2 to go up from this league. In ALL that time Montrose have NEVER left the bottom league, usually finishing in and around the bottom. Wallowing around is a bit rich. I'm beyond positive we will not decline next season, or ever finish 10th, as for Montrose.... Can't be long until you're back fighting for your SPFL status. Interesting historical context, if you're really interested in that sort of thing. Following a terrible season last year, Montrose have made a little progress. It hasn't been fantastic but the reality is there's a fine line between being ambitious and having delusions of grandeur. Montrose haven't been guilty of either but I reckon they are heading in the right direction, particularly in the club's work with the community. I can't say much about Arbroath but as a bigger town, marginally better located, which has had a lot of money spent on it, the club should probably not be languishing in the lowly position it currently occupies.Trading on past glories isn't going to change that. It remains to be seen, whether bringing in a new manager will really root out the malaise that undoubtedly has brought you so low this season.

Who said it was? I only said all that in response to Gogs saying we have been 'wallowing around'. It's the first season we've been in this league and not finished 4th or higher in the 16 years I've been going. That's the point I was making. It was a pretty ridiculous thing for him to say, along with the rest of his post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clashcityrocker Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Arbroath are one of the biggest part time clubs in Scotland . The last two seasons have been a complete, utter disaster - a total wipe out. The only shining light has been Bobby Linn - his place in Arbroath's history books will up there with the likes of Andy Penman ( he would be good signing for Dundee United next season in the Championship ). Two instantly forgettable long drawn out seasons are thankfully coming to an end next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With what, 200 away fans? That crowd might actually take our average to the best in the league again, despite the last 15 months. Aye alright :lol: Airdrie/Ayr United are only 2 that are without doubt bigger. East Fife and Dumbarton similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
