The new look North Lodge Park was there for all to see on Saturday. It sparkled in the bright August sunlight and a whopping 751 crowd turned up. Pre match entertaiment was provided by the Buchan Pipe Band warming up for the World Championships next week, followed by a spectacular drop from the Golden Lions parachute team who streamed Formartine red flares and delivered the match ball to the centre circle. How smart is that then?

Sponsors for this bit of local history were Udny Building Services/Ian Fraser Decor with Bardon Aggregates as match ball Sponsors.

It all looked and worked well demonstrating Formartine's ability to meet the demands of the highest level of football thy have so far achieved.

The drive and ambition of Chairman Cadger,along with the longer term sponsorship of his company, Rollstud and the recent addition of Abu Dhabi based KOSTCO [Kaddas Oilfield Services and Trading Company] deserves all the respect that this level of achievement for the club has reached.  We thank them sincerely.
