Arbroath Versus Airdrie Match Preview
Arbroath-V-Airdrie
By Chris Mac
April 11 2004
A Win and four plus goal should secure us top spot once again, am I asking to much? It's down to the team now to make sure we fight for everything especially as Morton take on third placed Hamilton.

After winning the manager of the month award for March Sandy Stewart has a little more work to do this week as a few of his first team players will be out.
David Dunn, Kevin Christie and Stephen Docherty are out due to injury.
Neil McGowan is suspended for the next few games.
Allan McManus will be given a late check tomorrow just to make sure his injury has healed.
Mark Roberts is back fit and should be part of the team.
We have now gone twelve games unbeaten and although this match seems to be the perfect chance to extend our lead we also have to remember that Arbroath were the last team to beat us.

Another ref who we have seen this season already, he booked two Dumbarton players during their visit to Broomfield at the beginning of the season. We went on to win that game 2-0 |
