Happy Dosser Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Looks like a pre-match sesh in the Tutties' Neuk right enough. Last time I was at Gayfield I saw a sign on the doorbell of a wee house near the ground which had a smokehouse at the back. It said, "Ring for Fish". So, I rang for fish and Lo! the smokies were provided. Life's like that sometimes...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the game there was quite a bit of trouble in front of the ground. We then drew the game at Arbroath; the rearranged replay at FP was called off; and we won final game only to be knocked out by Ayr in the next round. Quite a saga. Correct it was January 2000 and the entire tie was absolutely mental. As you say abandoned at half time due to high winds howling in right off the North sea when we were 1-0 up. We then made a pigs ear of the re-arranged game in midweek and drew 1-1 and the Fir Park replay was then postponed at least twice due to water-logging and we ended up playing it on the same weekend that the (then) 4th Round ties were meant to be played. For the ‘Romance of the Cup’ and as January Scottish Cup away days go this tie is absolutely perfect. It is though a potentially very tricky one so hopefully we are up to it on the day.

It was a complete windy shitemare. I was in crutches after breaking my ankle on the eve of the Millennium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in crutches after breaking my ankle on the eve of the Millennium. I was there too, a ‘relative’ youngster back then! The thing that sticks out was that the tannoy was even worse than the old East Stand tannoy at Fir Park and it was hard to hear the announcement about the game being abandoned. I remember the guy in front of us turning round an asking my dad “did he just say that the game’s been abandoned there”? and then word spread more from folk who had actually heard the announcement and the ones who had radios. There was a lot of shouting/bother with the police if I remember correctly. Something else that sticks out from this game was the whole away end chanting “No fucking merger” in response to midweek reports that John Boyle was planning to buy Airdrie and merge them with us to create ‘Lanarkshire United’. Thankfully that never came to fruition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An old friend of mine (sadly departed) claimed that, at a 'Well match at Shawfield, Clyde were about to take off Brian Ahern, their veteran midfielder. As the new substitute (unknown) was waiting to come on, a Clyde fan vented, "Oh, no! They're taking off Ahern and bringing on a haddie!" And don't get me started on Harry Haddock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought originally it could be a tricky game and we might flounder, but really if we play to form we should skate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Ticketing arrangements for the Arbroath cup game have been announced. They have offered us 3,000 tickets. Lets hope there's no wind - a heartfelt plea to all fans to stay off sprouts and beans beforehand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
