DumbartonTheSons Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 We could either view that as a decent point come the end of the season, or a massive two dropped points, who knows.On seeing the goals back, the defending for the first four goals is atrocious from both sides, some real amateur stuff, but both sides’ third goals were quality. A great strike from Forbes and a really good move from airdrie.It’s now crazily right down at the bottom and even though it’s cliched, we have five cup finals to try and ensure our safety in this division, which at this time is far from assured.

Tory Boy Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 A while back there was a bit of talk that Dumbarton was going to be building a new stadium in some land on the other side of town, has that fallen through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsider here but I'd imagine it's unlikely as the council have just forked out for Holm Park (home of Yoker & Clydebank) to get a complete overhaul as a community facility.

I think it's safe to assume that, although 'sank' might be a better term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that has any effect, the council weren't paying a bean for our move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I had it in my head that Dumbarton's ground was owned by the council. Thanks for the clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the clarification. I wish they did, we probably wouldn't attract bawbag property developer owners if the council owned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fourth would mean it's the first time Dumbarton have recorded four draws in a league season against the same opposition. Discuss. I missed the games this week and caught up on highlights. It looked a fair result as many have posted. I am trying to think if any other set of four draws has featured both sides in this way but can't place any. The chase at the top is still on for fourth and East fife must be very nervous. I don't think the 2nd bottom team in Championship would be any less nervous. I did think we would need 40 to be safe, so with 41 and a few decent performances I am more relaxed now. Maybe I should just miss more games.

I have a friend who is an Airdrie archivist and will check if it is our first . Can only be since the four division/four games years so hardly a difficult task? Is there a Dumbarton one? At the start of the season I did think these games would be close. Funny that 2 wins and two defeats would have got both of us a better position. I still dislike this 4 game scenario league.
