Forfar have issued a strongly-worded statement detailing their bafflement at abuse being levelled at manager Dick Campbell and his players during the last two home games, a 3-1 victory over Peterhead and a narrow 2-1 defeat to Morton.
The Angus side are currently sitting in third place in the League One table just four points behind table-topping Stranraer.
Despite the presence of full-time sides Dunfermline as well as Morton in the league this season, the Loons have more than held their own and still have a great chance of winning promotion.
Taking all of that into account, the club have been shocked at comments emanating from the Station Park stands in recent weeks.
They have now issued a statement which reads: “The ‘Loons’ Directors have been somewhat perplexed to hear first hand of certain complaints from firstly Management, Players and also more importantly fellow supporters of a certain level of personal abuse being directed at staff and players from the terracing at our last two home games. This scenario has even been highlighted by fans on social media outlets.
“Firstly, it has to be said that the Board Members at Station Park have been delighted and thrilled with the increase in numbers from last season, however small that may be, backing the team at both home and away fixtures.
“However, with as they say nowadays, twelve ‘cup finals’ remaining, if we are to maintain our push for promotion to the SPFL Championship, it has to be a real ‘TEAM’ effort.
“The Directors would therefore urge all Forfar Athletic Supporters to in the first instance turn out in as large a number as possible and then to get right behind Dick and the team from the first whistle in every game starting with the mouth-watering visit of Dunfermline Athletic this Saturday.
“The Board cannot emphasise how much this support is needed and is hugely appreciated.”
