Jan Vojáček Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Let's be totally honest, the answer for everyone who isn't a Sons fan is clearly Arbroath. Tremendous away day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I'm intrigued, apart from a cracking stadium, what makes a great away day for someone who doesn't drink? I always assume people are referring to the decent pubs near the stadium or good train links when they talk about the best away days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremendous away day. No. As far as I’m concerned, Dumbarton ARE the Championship. If you get relegated, we cancel it till you return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assume people are referring to the decent pubs near the stadium or good train links when they talk about the best away days. Easy enough to get to, properly old fashioned ground, the opportunity to switch-ends, tremendous chippies, some good inter-fan bantz. Plus we won the first-leg of the playoffs there, and it was an away game I used to always do with the family (and sometimes a mate too) when I was wee - so I've got good memories associated with the place. Arbroath seems like a relatively nice wee town as well. Although I'm not sure if that's an image I've conjured up with a mixture of sun, playoff success and battered fish.

sonsanorak Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I'm not overly scared of the 1st Div teams, although I'd like to avoid Ayr.If someones going to beat us please make it Alloa. As well as a strong ex DFC contingent (top boys) they've got a great burger van (rolls and pie) and seem like a well run, tidy club.I dont know much about Arbroath and dont mean them any disrespect. I think the Championship next year would be a great league if Ayr and Raith were in it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not easy to get to from Dumfries and I couldnt care less about changing ends or chippies. Arbroath eould be the worst option for me. All things being equal I would probably rather keep Dumbarton. Although fine with Alloa too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer doon south Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Dumbarton to stay. Next season away day for me. Although as a teenager I lived in arbroath I never went to gayfield, which I regret now. Ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacArab Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Dumbarton for me. Have enjoyed my trips there over the last few seasons (despite the results for the most part), and given their budget set against most other teams in the league and part time status, have really punched above their weight year in year out to stay in the league, and would be happy to see this continue for another year.

Shandon Par Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Arbroath for me. Otherwise Dundee United won’t have a derby game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Would like to see Arbroath and the wee team come up, although Ayr is an outstanding away day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 The vote looks pretty conclusive to me. Raith and Ayr should both be denied promotion for the much more loved Sons and Smokies. Let's just forget about playing the actual play-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Arbroath and the Wee Team for me. Two cracking away days although I have nothing against Dumbarton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Wee update: Still tight in the L1 title race but Rovers now have the edge following back-to back defeats for Ayr. If the wee team equal or better Ayr's result on Saturday, they'll be champions and Ayr United will head into the play-offs. Arbroath and Alloa were confirmed as taking part on Saturday. Arbroath will finish 3rd if they equal or better Alloa's result this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
