A friend of mine told me of a visit he made once. His main topic of conversation was the long hedge. I often taunted him since with a 'one hedge in Brechin' chant. It looks a quant location. Obviously means a lot to that elderly lady.

There is a lot in what the elderly lady says.

Back in about 84/85 we were keen Brechin fans - at that time they had the worst record in Scottish football, with their highest placing being something like 5th from bottom. We went up there for a Thursday night match, we got there on Wednesday early evening and whilst in one of the many bars someone mentioned that the game had been brought forward a day. We went all that way, and nearly missed it!

It rained solidly for the next few days, and all there was to do was the bars, a dodgy night club with about 50 people in it, and the golf club(house).

We were members of the supporters club, and so got a mention in the programme. We met up with a lad who organised the supported club (all 20 of them I think). He got us on to the team coach for the Saturday game at East Fife - and we were given a team tie each. After the game, the coach then took us (with the team) to the nearest station - can't imagine that happening today. Nor can I now imagine being able to get home to Southwick from Fife after a Saturday afternoon match for £15 return.

On the train back from London we played cards with Chris Eubank's brother - so all in all it was quite a successful trip.

Still keep an eye on their results - not doing well this year.

Nice hedge

 

[Steve Foster]

Most charming.

Highest gate this season only 1214 but then they are bottom of the league

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Dunfermline ?

Brechin's current goalkeeper is the infamous Graeme Smith, who spent that unforgettable season with the Albion in 2009/10.

He was in the news for all the wrong reasons again earlier this season, when he reported for a game at an away ground, miles from Brechin, when in fact Brechin were playing them at home.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Exeter used to have a hedge, can't be many

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

Dunfermline ?

Forfar surely?

bloody good turn out if you ask me,considering the population of Brechin is only 7,000

I think it's the smallest town in Britain with a league club or it was once?

lots of new one's now

What a lovely story. A few years back someone threw down a challenge for NSC members to "adopt" a team from either the lower leagues or from the "Celtic fringe" (Wales or porridge) I opted for Afan Lido. Got chatting to a couple of their boyos via their forum and ended up being their guest versus TNS. A very good day. Shirt swaps, meet the players and the gaffer had a kick about on the pitch. Got totally mortal with them. Still in touch. Still follow their results.

 

[GT49er]

Nice article. Proper football and all that. Good luck to them!









Mind you, I did go to Brechin once: it was closed.......

"I think everybody should support their local team." Well said Margaret!

I think this could be a fun thing to do for 2016
