Arbroath vs Forfar Athletic

It's to do with the Covid restrictions with using the hospitality cabin for away team and getting more of the stand for the home fans. Seemingly the pleasureland end is the traditional home end. Getting the whole of the east terrace for home fans has made segregation bearable this season.
We really need to get proper names for the sides of the ground.

At least it’s not so bad that you have to watch one half from the complete other side of the ground. Hate segregation at station park but we don’t need it in the diddy league

Getting stand names is a tremendous idea instead of pleasureland and harbour,
Is it to early to name the far away stand the Nouble stand?

The Pleasureland end was always the home end, it got moved to the Harbour end some 20-25 years ago for some security reasons on police advice, this season being back in our traditional home end has resulted in our best results for decades as so we should stay in our traditional end and push further up the leagues.

Not sure what kind of crowd to expect for this. 1408 last home game with very little QotS fans through. Not on season ticket though, would hope for 12/1300 for a decent atmosphere. If it is on of course, there’s now an amber warning in place for wind but it runs up the whole east coast from as far down as England. I remember the last time there was a weather warning in place it actually turned out to be a half decent day when everyone was sure it would be called off right up until an hour or so before kick off.

 

QotS 2-0 at home a few years back. Gold and Hilson

Average is 1488 which is good considering the only larger away supports this season have come from Killie and Partick. It has been night and day from 4/5 years ago. 900 odd season tickets sold 

 

Really hope this games on

 

There will be no Dowds and no Nouble. I have funny feeling Nicky Low might get on the park 
 

I think this will be a tough tough game, we’re going to have to change it up  wee bit

That's actually a slight improvement from yesterday when wind was gusting to 50 + 

Seems to change from strong winds in the morning to gusting in the afternoon, so hopefully it's an improving picture  🤞

Think this will be a tough game in whats forecast brutal weather, would rest stewart and mckenna and maybe little or tob but that might not be possible with injuries and ineligible loans.

If we do that then we’ll need Dick and Pink stripped and on the bench, and big Rab playing centre forward. It’ll be bare bones as it is tomorrow with no Hilson, Dowds, Nouble, Paterson and probably Low.

You could play dick and pink at the back and we still won’t score. Our strikers couldn’t score in a bucket of fannies
