Great memories of stopping there on regular journeys to Aberdeen and getting a ride on the small guage railway on the links.

Used to take the kids to Arbroath for swimming comps, great fish suppers in the town

Are Arbroath the team that are always cheating?

Is so call sign especially their player kyogo smokies.

Didn’t they win or lose 36-0?

They won, but Bon Accord were only a year old so I’m not sure it is an official part of the history? The ref also disallowed 5 goals. Score still a senior world record.

Remarkably, down the road, played on the same day in 1885, Dundee Harp beat Aberdeen Rovers 37-0 but the Harp secretary had only counted 35 and they settled on that not realising the potential significance.

Dundee Harp had money problems and were suspended. A week later a new club called Dundee Hibs were formed. They changed their name back to Dundee Harp a wee while after but they again went bust. They do say history repeats itself?

Before Ivan gets on I should say there was apparently no connection with another Dundee Hibs that formed a few years later and eventually became United.

The old man's mk2 Ford Escort broke down in Arbroath on our way home from a wee family holiday in Montrose many moons ago

Great memories like

Hope they actually get promotion if they win the thing.....was that wee cvnt Roger Mitchell that denied Falkirk there spot in the top league back in the day.....back when Scottish Football thought it was rich

To be somewhat fair to Mitchell he had a vision of excellence, image, customer care and a more franchised model of ‘prove you're serious’. How many clubs would have been content to continue with the open air, weed strewn toilets that passed as facilities had the SPL not tried?

Mon the Lichties.
