Lets get them pumped we should do this before we play each team Not 100% entirely sure we need reminding but most of Scottish football thinks that now the "dust ‘ has settled we will chill as time is a great healer. In my opinion they couldn’t be further from the truth and we should be as vociferous as we can against these teams for YEARS to come. And if that means we do a wee reminder and it helps then I’m all for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midloth_Iain Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 A reminder of their statement from April, complete with contradictions https://www.arbroathfc.co.uk/spfl-statement/ The Arbroath FC Board confirms that they unanimously agreed to vote in favour of the SPFL resolution, which was to end the current season. The preference would have been to complete our season, but with the restrictions imposed by the UK Government during the COVID-19 pandemic it is now apparent that will not be possible. The overwhelming factor right now is the healthy and safety of everyone. From our players to our supporters as well as our community and society as a whole. We also have to do what is best for Scottish football. For everyone in the Scottish Game, it is vitally important that we unite as one and as a club, Arbroath FC will continue to remain calm and humble whilst showing our fellow clubs the respect that they deserve. We know that Football clubs are very much at the heart of our communities and as a club we are lucky to be involved with so many people of all ages. We pride our community and we know that if we ALL continue to show compassion and respect during these difficult times we will come out of it stronger on the other side. We would like to thank our supporters for their continued support of the club. From buying shares, bricks and to the virtual grand national you are all playing your part in helping your club. Please keep safe and stay indoors so we can help our amazing NHS Staff, Emergency and Key Workers. C’mon the Lichties - Respectfully, RAM your compassion, in my "humble" opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by then, the damage was effectively done. Before folk get on their high horses, I'm just adding some nuance. Arbroath aren't the worst of the teams out there. I will reserve my real opprobrium for other teams who actively spoke out against us and who voted against us at every turn. In saying that, I hope we hammer them. Agree with you there.

Damn right. Forget about moving on, we won't forget. They screwed us, and others over, and had it not been for the overwhelming support of our fantastic fanbase , and perhaps a little help from the Board/ Benefactors, then we'd really have been in the shit. It'll good to get away from budgets cozy arms around the world approach. Hearts are best when we've got the siege mentality & use that to out advantage.

Guest ToqueJambo Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Arbroath don't get ay credit for voting for reconstruction IMO. The first vote should have been rejected, thus forcing teams to find a fairer solution, which did exist. If Arbroath really believed what they said in that statement they should have done what East Fife did: “Although we have no issue with current league positions being declared final from a prize money perspective, the overwhelming consensus was that we could not vote in favour of a resolution that would see fellow clubs relegated without the full conclusion of the 36-game season. You will have seen that three League One & Two clubs voted against the resolution and I can confirm, to avoid any misinformation or speculation, that we were one of the three.” I'm guessing Falkirk were one of the 3 in L1 and 2. Who was the third? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
