24th June 2020 - MATHEW RICKIS
Matty.jpg

Everyone at Armadale Thistle was deeply saddened to learn about the untimely passing of Mathew Rickis at the weekend.

Mathew was a fine young man and a very promising up and coming footballer who played for Broxburn Athletic Colts Under 19's. Mathew was also due to take up a prestigious football scholarship in the USA later this year.

Matty, as he was known to his many friends, was a well known face at the Volunteer Park and would occasionally come along and lend his Dad a hand in and around the ground. Last year he also did some preseason training with Armadale Thistle prior to the season kicking-off and it was clearly apparent that he was a gifted young player who showed a great deal of promise.

From all the Players, Coaching Staff, Supporters Club and Committee at Armadale Thistle FC, our thoughts and prayers are with Mathew's Mother and Father Anne Marie and Kenny and his Sisters Charlotte and Emma as well as his many friends at this very sad time.

Armadale Thistle Supporters Club.

7th February 2020 - Volunteer Park News
volparksign.jpg

A new Welcome to the Volunteer Park sign has been installed at the top entrance within the Community Planter area. The sign depicts the old grandstand that burnt down in the early 1930's plus an image of the current enclosure, the Piper represents the grounds connection with the Royal Scots Volunteer Battalion and is based on the statue at the new War Memorial. Hence the name the Volunteer Park.

The wee cloth capped lads represent Armadale Thistle's origins in season 1935/36 and if you look closely you can see the images of six greyhounds to denote the grounds use as the town's original Greyhound Stadium in the 1920's which supplemented the revenue for the then senior team Armadale FC.

A big thanks to Garry at Void Designs for designing creating and installing the sign. In addition thanks to Colin from the Mill Garden Centre for creating and planting out the Community Planter along with Paul from T&D Fencing and Conner from TRB Valeting.

The project was conceived by Armadale Thistle Supporters Club and sponsored by Armadale Community Council via a grant from West Lothian Council's Town Centre Regeneration Fund and a donation from the Armadale Thistle Volley Fund.
