Aye, well worth a watch. A pretty affectionate look at the problems that any struggling non-league club face.

That's correct ,but I thought it would be like sour grapes if I said that. Chuffed for them though

I’ve kept a vague interest in Fort William ever since we signed a keeper (I think) from them many years ago. Watched the documentary today, it’s well worth watching and I’m delighted they’ve broken a horrible run👍👍

Ps. There is a small bit of Hibs interest in the program.

I think there's a bit of ill feeling about it given ICT tried to get a colts team in the highland league and this was their plan B. Good for Fort William making use of it though, they really struggle to get players above amateur league standard because of their location and lack of money, so they've no chance of ever competing with most of the other highland league teams like Brora who have big money backing.

They've had such a tough time over the last few years and stuck it out, they deserve a bit of a helping hand from other clubs. Will be good for ICT and for Fort William.

Just watched it. Great stuff, the guy behind the bar sums up football for me. Thick and thin and your teams your team.

That's a bit harsh. I don't think he came across as thick and he certainly wasn't thin either. Reckon he enjoyed a pie or two.

They were terrified about the prospect of having to go to Nairn for the replay.....😁

That didn’t stop them getting thumped on Saturday though.

Was that John Campbell in the 90s?

And so they should be ,they stole our record of most bottom finishes a couple of seasons ago

I think ICT are using Fort William to bring through a number of their development players, which may produce a different set of results this season. Might be one to watch for the betting fraternity before the bookies catch on!!

It's a credit to them they are still going. Well done to them on their win; hopefully there are more to come.

Well done to Fort William! Still don't know if this is a wind-up or not. Fort William is the next town north from Oban and for many years some Oban boys played for them as they were in the Highland League. The previously mentioned Keeper was John Campbell and Hibs played the Fort as part of the deal. Now on to the Fort William website to check this out... Glory, Glory To The Fort! GGTTF! :greengrin

Fort William win again, this time in the league.

A 1-0 home win against Clachnacuddin, who are currently bottom of the league with zero points.

Just looking at the table, surprised to see Huntly only have one point after seven games. They were always winning the league in the early 90s.

They might get a win in the Scottish Cup as Vale of Leithen aren’t up to much this season !
