Forfar FC have two nicknames that they are known for. The first one is The Loons and this is used today. They did have a nickname as the ‘Sky Blues’, but this was stopped by the club itself in the 1990’s.
One of the areas of Forfar Football Club that other fans mention about this club are the amazing bridies that the club have at their home games. There has been many cold winter days I have been in Forfar when after a few pints in one of their locals you would head to the ground and get a couple of bridies to help you warm up. Not been there for a few years now, but I am sure they are as good as in the past.
