Making a point - comparing our league record

14 April 2011 11:23
a glance at the stats Interesting to assess how Arbroath's league showing this year - so far - compares with previous campaigns in Division 3.  Perhaps in an more evenly balanced league this time, but we've still got to end with a bang to match the 70 point total of 4 seasons ago when we ended runners up.    We've already scored AND conceded considerably more than our previous 4 stints in this division Two more wins from our last 4 games - essential to secure top spot - would also see us exceed Dumbarton's tally of 67 points two seasons back, the lowest needed to take the title in recent times.
