Arbroath FC welcomed some fine gentlemen today who wanted to have a look at our wonderful pitch. These included the head groundsmen from Real Madrid and Arsenal!
The group have visited the Old Course in St Andrews, Dundee FC and Dundee United and after visiting Gayfield will make their way up to Aberdeen, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and John O’Groats.
Mark Farrell from Greenock Morton organised the trip, and Arbroath Chairman John Christison presented them with a bottle of Arbikie Gin
