If you stay in the Highland League much longer you might need to cut down on the old firm style luxury coach with private chef though. You're the only club in the league who feel the need to hire security guards too, thankfully when they searched my bag they didn't spot the hip flask in my jacket pocket. I believe having licensed security at the grounds is something that Angus Council push for and also helps with some of the SFA licensing stuff. It’s surely the only reason that Montrose and Arbroath continue to employ the muppets that they do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Buckie Jags lad, home and away in my Yoot...I always have an eye open for their results. Hot on yer heels still, I see, although Brechin have the upper hand. Some tasty games for both sides still to come mind. The LL is turning into a three way shit-fight between Spartans, Stirling and Tranent, with the favourites EK having dropped away. Would love to make one of the Southern legs of the play-off...whoever wins the HL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorie Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Hello Brechin fans. Looking for some help. Was originally heading to the Montrose Falkirk game next month but now with Falkirk in the Scottish cup and train already booked Brechin is the closest game to still have a day out. Haven’t been to the stadium in 3 years but just making sure the bar at the ground is still open before the game? Also any recommendations for bars near the ground? Been a few when down for darts exhibitions but they always seem a distance from the ground 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bar at the ground was open and welcoming both times I've been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone will eventually buy it and get it going again as a pub. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brechin City FC Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 The Brechin Arms is a decent pub, 5-10 mins from the ground. Stables is unfortunately closed. The City Club at the ground will also be open before the game I would imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a few when down for darts exhibitions but they always seem a distance from the ground As mentioned by others, The Stables is closed. I would second the suggestion for the Brechin Arms if you were looking for somewhere other than the bar at the ground. There’s also a bus at 1pm from Montrose to Brechin that depending on what time your train gets in, would allow for some drinking time in a civilised setting before heading through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strathman Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Do Brechin still play in the Forfarshire Cup? If they don't go up this season is there any chance they would try and join the Aberdeenshire FA so they could enter the two cup competitions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) I think @Aidan was recommending having a drink in Montrose instead, in which case a 1pm bus would leave plenty time to get to the ground for 2pm.

Of late , the local buses haven't been as reliable so that might be a bit of a risky move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
