Kiwidoug Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 We seem to have given up on the glamour friendlies. Doesnt bother me. Seem to remember that Man City came up to play us at no cost just to help us out. Tremendous gesture. Hope we will do the same for Hibs one day.

Spent five years in Arbroath whilst serving, it's an absolute shithole. This was back in the eighties though. I went back about ten years ago for a top table with one of the guys I served with, strangely enough the place is still a shithole. Went down to Gayfield a few times to watch Arbroath play (similar colours to the Famous), it always seemed to be blowing a hoolie! Genuine old school football ground, for those that have watched us play since the seventies this will bring back some old memories of what away trips used to be like.

letsalldothebeattie Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Never been to Arbroath yet was excited to see this announced and a Saturday at 3 as well. Then found out I’m working that Saturday and no other Saturdays to swap onto. Maybe we’ll get them up their in the Scottish later in the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I celebrated a ‘Hearts’ goal at Tynie circa 78 just as my bro and I stepped into the ground. It it was when no one else moved that I realised Hearts wore their white top and Arbroath were in Maroon. Think we still won 3-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
