Arbroath scored the opening goal in the first few minutes, but were defeated 1-3 ( match highlights are on You Tube ). This week's match is perhaps the first time in over 40 years since Dundee have played at Gayfield in a competitive match. Arbroath Vs Dundee is a great local derby from years gone by - back in '77 Dundee a big away support. Surely Dundee are going to bring a big support for this match - it's only 16 miles down the road. On another matter - did John Flectcher also play for Dundee back in the 70s ? Not quite. League Cup in 1980/81 & Challenge Cup in 2011/12. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to remember playing them, at Gayfield not long after the cup tie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Where’s the best place to park?There's a big grassy area at the back of Gayfield, can be a total nightmare getting out after game when busy though. I'd look to park up and around Viewfield road area, plenty of wide open streets and free parking around about there. Maybe even worth taking a quick detour via Arbirlot and on to dualler that way on way home, obviously going back to Arbroath and around the roundabout again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Heading along with an absolute rag tag gang to this for our Christmas day oot, where's best for some pre-match liquidation? I see this Tutties Neuk seems to have good reviews but apparently quite small? We'll be up the back of 12. Ridiculous that in all the years we've been in the same league I've never actually made the trip to Gayfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutties is class but would need to get there early, and it’ll be rammed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonLichtie Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Played for both clubs - Andy Dow. Utter c**t. It's been 15 years, half my lifetime, since he played for us, and his name still makes me angry and I hate the c**t. He was our team captain, who seemed to think he was too good for us, and one day turned up to a game to find out he'd finally been dropped and told the manager he didn't want to sit on the bench and was going home. Incredible to think he was the captain FFS. Also, a couple of months prior to this with us on an absolutely dreadful run of form and having not won away from home for over a year, we played St Mirren and Dow got dogs abuse from their support for being shite when he played for them. We get a penalty in the last minute, Dow decides it's his ball not our usual penalty taker in an attempt to get it right up the St Mirren fans. The fucking useless c**t missed and the ref immediately blew for full time. I fucking hate Andy Dow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time Arbroath played Dundee in a competitive league match was in season 74 - 75 ( this was the final season of the old league set up with 18 teams in the league ) - so it's been 45 years since Arbroath have played Dundee in a league match. Dundee finished 5th in the league that season and Arbroath bottom. Great to have this local league derby back - it's been a long wait. Regarding the result tomorrow - I think Arbroath will sneak a home win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ain't gonna sell out and I'm sure there's plenty like me that can't be arsed going to the ticket office. After paying £24 to get into Dens park last time. i wont be arsed going back. Whoever sets that price needs to issue masks to the turnstile staff.I thought hoofball was a working class sport?

lichtiekev Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Why are there not tickets for sale saturday at all for the Arbroath end?? If u havent bought ur ticket by tonight you cant go?? Thats a crazy decision, Fully agree have a cash gate, even if u put a limit on how many tickets are available if its got anything to do with numbers or the police 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not be one of the 600. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
