Arbroath club chiefs have been left ‘overwhelmed’ and ‘humbled’ by fans who snapped up tickets for their awards bash in record time.
The Lichties have taken Scottish football by storm this season and it looks like their fans are desperate to cherish every bit of the action.
On Monday night, the club launched ticket sales for their Player of the Year awards in April, where fans can see their heroes in person while enjoying a three-course meal and entertainment from guest speakers.
