I didn't notice the ticket seller mark either of us down as an away fan. 2) We didn't go through a turnstile. We both went through a gate behind the main stand, had a drink in the bar and then walked down the back of the stand (inside the ground) to take our seats in the North Stand. 3) We weren't the only Arbroath fans to do this. Raith had a steward positioned to lift the tape to let fans into the taped off section. 4) Accordingly, if 288 went through the away turnstiles, there were obviously more Arbroath fans in the ground.

R.R.FC Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 This should just be closed down now. Tragic enough already without the argument of whether an extra 20-30 away fans weren’t counted. Who really cares? 288 looked about right and is a decent away support for a club Arbroaths size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who really cares? 288 looked about right and is a decent away support for a club Arbroaths size. This is a very important issue and your cavalier attitude to counting fans is not helpful. Please help or leave this thread!To help with this important discussion, I noticed two stewards with those click counter things which they use on the train. *srs* They were at the Main Stand on Saturday. *srs* One of the stewards seemed pretty switched on with how to use the thing. The other guy was less so, and just took his lead from the first guy and adjusted his counter to suit.In summary, Arbroath fans are the new Ayr fans and we have to accommodate them, stroke their ego and confirm to them that they are a big club. Huge in fact. Those 10-20 missing fans make a big difference. I say we should unofficially recognise there were 300 Arbroath fans there, rather than 288.

1320Lichtie Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Nobody cares. I'm sure he's only saying it because the away support was slagged by Rovers fans, to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Tbf, I don't think anyone slagged the size of the away support. It's Arbroath, nobody was expecting thousands. I said that we shouldn't have opened the McDermid stand due to the unnecessary additional costs involved, and then it led to a full request for the costings of opening the away end and accusations of lauding it over your support.

Raithie Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Don’t let the Arbroath fans get hold of the FFP article with Nisbet.

I don't get all this " extra cost" excuse that clubs make when asked about opening areas of stadiums for smaller away supports. They maintain it costs more to steward the areas but through past experience I have found that even when we have been dumped in an uncomfortable corner of a main stand there have been at least 5 stewards controlling that area . Surely these stewards could be used in the other sections at no extra cost ? The electricity costs shouldn't make that much of a difference either. The worst culprits for this are Ayr and Stenhousemuir who have standing areas closed off for no reason at all. I maintain they do it just to piss off the away support. Raith have proved that it can be done and the club themselves obviously don't have a problem with it .......just the fans it seems . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
