Gordon EF Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 42 minutes ago, PELE said: Low seventies is usually enough to win it. East Fife's total is usually a play off spot. Might be the lowest mark for a league winner. I'm sure it is the lowest points total ever for a L2 winning side. Not sure if there's been lower in L1 or Championship. Weird situation where there wasn't much between 4 or 5 sides for most of the season and all taking points off each other regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Looking at the league table here, we are on 76 points while Peterhead are on 73. Last year Arbroath won it with 66 points, the year before East Fife won with 62. Whatever happens tomorrow, the Mo and Peterhead can hold their heads high on creating an exciting finale to the season. How is tomorrow’s finale any more exciting than last seasons finale?

1320Lichtie Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Well he hardly said that now did he. I’m not sure, I thought he was meaning that because the two teams have amassed more points than the winners of the two previous seasons that the final day will be more exciting. Reading it back it doesn’t sound like that at all though so apologies.For what it’s worth I think the Montrose team this season are better than our team last season, I think we’ve improved so much though and that’s why we are where we are this season. We’ve added Thomas O’Brien, Scott Martin, Swankie, Denholm, Mikey McKenna, Ryan Wallace, Leighton McIntosh and Blair Yule and lost guys like Jimmy Scott, Bryan Prunty, Malin, Hodge etc who all played a big part last season. Even McCord can barely get a game. Be interesting to see what Montrose did if they came up. Might need to punt half of your title winning team which I’m sure will leave a lot of you with very mixed feelings. But just get the job done first of course. Be nice to have the derby out with the 4th tier for a change. [emoji6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogs Grog Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Wouldn't argue Arbroath have pushed on again. As much as Dick gets stick from Mo fans he has proved himself many times over. If we do go up would you rather go up to the Championship via playoffs or stay where you are? #theanguspound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde01 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 If Montrose do go up and Arbroath don’t win the league 1 promotion playoff then all 4 Angus clubs will be in the same division. When was the last time that happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even bottom place gets you 160k, plus 6,000 odd United fans and large travelling supports from Dunfermline/Falkirk/Raith and potentially Partick. Sure even Morton and ICT would bring good supports. Way too much money to turn your nose up at plus a whole load of new teams to play. If you do come up and stay up we’d see you the season after next anyway.

Eta: don’t think we will win play off though As a far flung fan, the biggest advantage would be the chance to watch your team on matches covered by BBC Alba, on iPlayer. E.t.a. Take that back. Have just seen that their coverage last year amounted to three games! Do concur with your opinion of United fans though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummo Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Just reflecting on how long ago it is since Montrose FC won the league. (Not tempting fate here but just saying...) Here is a photo I took of a Honda Civic this morning... and the same model from when Montrose last won the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
