craigkillie Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Cheers. I probably could’ve worded that better tbf [emoji38] . For clarity, I appear to have bagged myself a half decent seat and wasn’t sure if it was a free for all once you got there, so I best get there early. Make sure you check you've not accidentally bought one really near the front - I find the seat map a wee bit confusing in that respect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never really paid it any mind, but with Hibs, Hearts, Rangers, United all in it in recent seasons it seemed to the outsider like the standard was decent. Then you come down and attend games and watch regular Championship football and it's just so shite. Grounds like Somerset that are basically a hovel, clubs like ICT that cannae even take card payments at their shitey pie stalls, Queen of the South where the terracing looks like it's no been used in 40 years and is about to fall to bits. The standard of football is shocking, and I include ourselves in that as we've been shite for almost all of the season. The teams below us are as bad or worse. I think we knock Scottish football, and by that I mean the Premiership, but once back up I won't ever do it down again. The standard, both in terms of the football being played and the facilities on offer, is night and day with this shite. No interest in staying in this league any longer. It's everything I feared and more. Aye, it's a far better league if you never have to watch any of the games. I think it's made 100 times worse by the fact clubs charge £20 to watch such an awful standard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue is that match day income is so important to these clubs and they’re all trying to compete with each other. It’s shite that when clubs make it a game for a tenner that it’s treated as some great initiative when that’s closer to what the actual pricing should be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stay at hame, sign up to sky and watch the good old soulless premiership where the league is between 2 teams in both countries! I have been to Arbroath twice this year and the atmosphere is tremendous, the humour and friendliness of the fans is refreshing, and the football is blood and thunder, and sometimes quality not great, but always exciting. Something, remarkable may happen at Gayfield, and if the result goes the right way for Arbroath, on Friday, every TV company in the Uk will be on the story for the following week ….I will enjoy saying I witnessed that. But thats me…. Edited April 17, 2022 by Its not only a game 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem at this level is you don't have a big bulk of income from TV rights money, can't imagine the BBC will pay a fortune... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thats me…. Wind yer neck in granddad. I regularly pay to watch Championship football because my team plays at this level but many others are put off at the pricing. I've had friends interested in heading along and are appalled by how much it would cost. You also wildly overestimate how much anyone outside of Scotland gives a f**k about Arbroath or any team not called Celtic or Rangers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means 3/4 were against the other full time teams. However, I did mean, this particular game coming up on Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The premiership wrap up everything to try to protect themselves, from voting to finance. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tattie36 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) That’s us shifted 1200 tickets already. Still some absolute weirdo Kilmarnock fans insisting we’re a hybrid team. Are they so thick that they don’t understand that the vast majority of part-time clubs in the entire Scottish pyramid has a number of full-time players on loan from other clubs. If they’re adamant that Arbroath having 3 full-time players on loan makes us hybrid then so are Cowdenbeath, Annan, East Stirlingshire and Fort William. Maybe spending so long in the Premier does this to you. I know fans of Premier clubs who know literally nothing about Scottish fitba outside of their wee bubble.

Sortmeout Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 To be fair I don’t remember anyone calling Arbroath a hybrid club until around January. Regardless of what you call their setup there is no doubt they are outperforming their budget, set up, expectations. As for Friday I’m pretty worried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a tiresome lot. What's your problem? Arbroath fans giving it Billy big paws? Utter drivel. Arbroath fans are just feeling good about how their team has done this season and for the the last five. When was the last time you felt good about Killie? Maybe when you won the cup in the mid 1990s or was it way back in the mists of time when you won the old 1st Division in 1965? Or maybe you're not old enough to ever have enjoyed feeling good about your club. Edited April 18, 2022 by SotesBornalichtie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
