Arbroath historic record against Div 2 opponents

Last updated : 09 September 2011 By Fargone

afc77Arbroath's standing in the all-time `Division 2' league table

Based on our head-to-heads since competition began, how would the Lichties fare against current Division 2 rivals?  

Completely academic but the answer is mid-table.  

Against East Fife, Brechin, Stirling our records are almost identical.  We're lagging in terms of results against even Forfar but also Cowden and especially Airdrie

By contrast Albion and Stenny have been in our historical pockets and we have a clear long term edge against Dumbarton
