'No Supporters Coach to Elgin.

Sadly there has been a poor response to the possibility of running a Supporters Coach to Elgin this Saturday and accordingly club officials have had no other option than to ‘pull the plug’ on the proposal.'

:whistle

Happened to the Tutties Bus anyway?

And the club have been great when needed to be fair, if there was demand from a set amount of people then they'd do it but everyone makes their own way.

Tutties bus ran for years successfully and there's still a decent number of fans at away games, looks like most have just started using their own methods of transport though.

Bairns basically had it booked out for years and was never any space, good few of them have stopped going with their own football commitments now though, maybe that's partly the reason.

Great result tonight by the way. Elgin still at a good distance off us and Saturday has now basically become win or bust for them if they've any real intention of winning the league.

A couple of weeks ago they were 6 points behind with a couple of games in hand, played these games and still 6 points behind, good times

Saturday afternoon sees Berwick's Dream Team square off against the Red Lichties from Arbroath at Shielfield Park in the 29th round of the 16/17 Ladbrokes Scottish League 2.

After playing two midweek fixtures over the past fourteen days, Berwick have little momentum coming into this match; Coughlin's side have failed to string together two wins all season, with 7 points from the last 5 games being a meager score considering that three of those matches were against Edinburgh (draw), Cowden (loss), and Clyde (win). With 10 scored and 11 conceded across past month, the black&gold are looking to Thomson to keep racking up the goals (a midweek punt having elevated him to third in the goalscoring charts) while the leaky defence will hope to record its first clean sheet since a 0-1 to Cowden in January. If Berwick win and Montrose lose, Berwick will leap to 6th, whereas a defeat and a win for Edinburgh at Clyde will see us slip to 8th

The maroon-clad visitors from the North will be looking to bring the pain, hopefully alongside some smokies, with three wins and two draws from their last 5 league fixtures. With no midweek matches under their belt, the Lichties have been quietly chipping away at Forfar's lead over them, which has now diminished to just three points. If Arbroath record a win and Forfar lose to Elgin, both teams will swap places in the tables which would be a favourable position for Campbell's boys to be in ahead of their match against the Loons on the 8th of April.

The last time these two teams met Arbroath wiped the Gayfield pitch with Berwick in a 4-1 win (Jan. 14th), with the last match at Shielfield between the two teams resulting in a 1-1 draw. That match saw the Lichties run out in their home kit (considering their navy/yellow away effort clashes with black and gold), so expect maroon to be back on the field.

never understood why teams wear a change strip when there is no requirement, last Saturday Clyde wore a change kit at Gayfield, pointless

Not sure if it's the same at Arbroath but some clubs do sponsorship for player's home and away kits, so they use each kit a certain amount of times.

As @LiviLion remarked, there's the issue of different sponsors for different kits (Raith has been doing it for some years I think, and Clyde and East Fife have it as well this season), but I suspect it's mostly just so the clubs can sell more replica shirts. Look at Hibs; they almost never need a change but still wear their away garb regularly. Overly commercial, but understandable given the decent revenue kit sales generate.
