ExiledLichtie Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 3 hours ago, Todd_is_God said: Well, no, that doesn't really address the point made. Here's a list of your attendances this year https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/arbroath/attendances With the exception of Dundee and Motherwell, I doubt the number of tickets Hamilton fans bought on Friday was significantly lower than most of the other matches (including our previous visit) where away fans had the terrace behind the goal. Sections A&B of the stand plus the wee bit of terracing would comfortably hold the away support every week in this league if that is the angle you wish to take. As I said, if you'd sold more tickets, you would have got more terracing. It was a big game, and the club decided to only give Accies limited space. However, if you'd needed more space, you would have got it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a big game, and the club decided to only give Accies limited space. However, if you'd needed more space, you would have got it! I get that. But from reading posts on here having home support on the three terraces, with free movement at half-time, is something that Arbroath fans have been looking for for some time. Now that it's been done (twice), why would your board, who appear very in sync with your fans, not make this set up the norm unless there is a genuine demand for away tickets that is greater than the capacity of that area? Given that won't be very often that would quickly lower the appeal of Gayfield as an away venue from one of the best to nothing special. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve always changed it to suit away crowds. Every team but Hamilton and Cove have needed more terracing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 After finally finishing above us after four or five seasons of trying, it would be pretty funny if we somehow went up at the expense of Falkirk. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One week breaking Ayr hearts then trolling Raith Rovers the next week in a nothing game for us. Is it too late to sign Jordan Kirkpatrick and Ross Stewart on loan? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see George Stanger tonight as I thought he got a raw deal at Accies and any time he did play it was out of position...funnily enough under Brian Rice. I am sure our fans will give Brian Rice a warm reception at both games as he took time to explain to fans on a few occasions of what he was up against in The Boardroom who never backed him 100% like most of our Managers including Alex Neil. Reminds me of meeting ex Player,Captain,Assistant and then Manager Jim Dempsey at a family Funeral two years ago where he told me The Directors were back in his day and still are the problem at Accies for any Manager whether that is interfering with signings or refusing to back a Manager with signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen a lot of that from Brian Rice . His recruitment has been pretty good too, just undermined IMO by never finding a settled team or shape with players in their best positions. I might be cursing him for these ties but Stanger has done really well for Alloa and he would be well worth a shot for someone in the Championship next season, which seems likely to happen according to the rumours. He has been CB all season but has had several defensive partners as part of a central two or three. Still a work in progress but a good defender who can still get better. I have pretty low expectations for the play-offs after an up and down season and with a number of injuries hitting the squad. I'd be happy enough if we were still in it going into the second leg.

Didn't realise Stanger was with Hamilton previously. Makes sense that we are looking at him as Keith Glendinning would have been at Accies at the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
