The news that Fort William Football Club directors are to step down at the end of the 2017/18 season sparked discussion on social media Jamie Bradbury: ‘good luck to all up there. sad news. only lived up fort 3 yr but some gud selfiess men involved in youth set up so feel for them. my laddie played 1st competitive football there b4 alloa n now stirling albion. not an easy job in a remote area but men like Scott Duncan danny conlon n calum maclean have all worked their socks off n wud like to thank and wish them good luck.’
Kevin Ferguson: ‘Hopefully it’s a case of one door closing another opening. Fantastic youth set up with probably over 100 local kids playing throughout the age groups with lots of volunteers giving up their time to progress these young ones. People from outside are quick to slag it off with the occasional 1st team score but nobody realises the finances of most of the teams in the Highland League.
…What a pathetic opening comment too. Players from all over the Highlands have played for the Fort. Must be quite a widespread ‘Clique’’
