Forza Cuore Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 10.30 train up. Spot of (liquid) lunch, match, pint, down the road. Any half decent pubs in Arbroath? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodanny Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Looking forward to a wee day out tomorrow, my wife's coming with me to the game. We''ll get a bite to eat somewhere, a pint or two and then along to the game. The handy thing in Arbroath is that everything's in walking distance of everything else, so get the car parked up for the day when you arrive, and leave it 'til you're ready to head home.

The Westport Bar right next to the station is not too bad, Tutties Neuk is right across from the ground, and the Old Brewhouse up on the eastern side of the marina has tables outside.

JohnB Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) Last time I was there was in the late seventies round about Christmas time. We won 7-0 with the buzzbomb and Willie Gibson each getting a hat-trick. Something sticks in my mind about a special prize going to those that scored 3 - was it bottles/cases of plonk? Maybe someone with a better memory can shed some light on that? Anyway, I'd settle for a two or three goal win tomorrow.

And I think Eamonn Bannon scored a hat trick about a week later. (against Killie I think) That season we also won 1-0 there on the last day of the season to clinch promotion.

scratchy Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I was chatting to a boy at work about how we were both at the promotion winning game at Gayfield back in 70's 75/76 was it?74/75?. Anyway he hits me with this nugget. "Aye, I was at that game, he says." One o ma mates got lifted for hitting a polis dug in the puss wi a pie". Brilliant, them were the days.
