Fort's season has not escaped the attention of The Guardian's The Knowledge readership, prompting the following question: Quote “In this season’s Scottish Highland League (a level below Scottish Division Three) the bottom club, Fort William, ended up with a goal difference of -224,” writes Allan Bremner. “In the course of the 34-game season they shipped 245 goals and scored 21 – that’s an average of just over seven goals against in each game. What is the worst goal difference a team have ever had at the end of a season? And, what is the biggest difference between a top team’s goal difference and that of the bottom team? The top team, Cove Rangers, had a goal difference of 88 making the difference between top and bottom 312 goals.” Second paragraph of the "Can you help?" section, towards the end. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,102 Posted May 5, 2019 Well, we've only gone and done it. We've broken through the 5000 followers barrier on Facebook. A huge thanks from everyone at Fort William F.C. (Official) to you all for your support. Please keep sharing and inviting your friends and family to join the party. Btw we have more followers than any other Highland League club by over 1500. Quite an achievement for a club of this size. Lets keep this going. Have a great day. Wonder if if we should let them know we've been supporting them for the last 9 years.

Paul Bearer 6,102 Posted June 10, 2019 All at Fort William F.C. (Official) are deeply saddened to announce the passing of club stalwart Frances Campbell, wife of past chairman Jimmy Campbell. Frances carried out almost every role during her time at the club and will be greatly missed.
