farflung lichtie Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Yes Clan Campbell together with a regenerated Board have certainly turned things around. After our Sheerin years recovery, it looked like we had drifted back into the wilderness years (80s and most of 90s). One recent Campbell interview (can’t recall which one) mentioned they had long considered Arbroath somewhat of a ‘sleeping giant’ so they, with an enterprising Board have revived it. Bit of hyperbole but it was always strange that by far the largest town/support in Angus was often the lowest placed of all. It’s been an enjoyable trip these past few years with very occasional glimpses of sublime footy on display.Still, fortunes can turn down as well as up as Lichties know all too well. It would be good to garner 6-7 points sooner than later to avoid a nervy end to a good season (if better then fine - a lovely notion that we might keep in contention with the pack above). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexico Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Couldn’t give a f**k what Campbell chooses to sing to be honest, most of our fans will have come away with far worse at the football themselves over the years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I wonder if our club have contingency plans in place for the corona virus? If games are played behind closed doors we will make a heavy loss in revenue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whately and Gold can fill in there as well. I’m sure Craigan has played there in the past. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC has had a lot of success from signing versatile midfield players who can play at the back if required. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahfpjim Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 We should all be finding ways of helping the club financially during this unforeseen situation. Look at the journey they have brought us on this season. How about the club started selling tickets for the remaining home games now so they know they have the income . They could also add a value to each ticket to include a postponed match draw ( like the half time draw ). This could take place on the original match date. Other suggestions welcome or do we accept the financial strain and the effect on next season. No point in waiting for a new date to resume the season it could be far away. The club will need the money now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people only spent what they normally would (without the benefit of seeing a game) then I imagine that wouldn’t be too much of a hardship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club will need the money now. Season ticket holders have already given their money in advance. I would have expected around 500/600 of us to have paid at the gate tomorrow. My suggestion was merely to buy a ticket now for that match for whatever date it will be played on. Obviously the club would have to print tickets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
