Despite thirty years of going strong with the same club badge, Formartine United in Aberdeen has now been forced to petition for the use of a set of Arms after a complainant informed the Court of the Lord Lyon that the team was illegally using the saltire and lion rampant in its badge.
The full story is at www.pressandjournal.co.uk/Article.aspx/1954119, whilst the football club's response is noted at www.formartineunited.co.uk/news.asp. In its response the club's chairman Atholl Cadger stated "Formartine United have decided to petition the Court of the Lord Lyon for a grant of arms within the next 28 days. The Procurator Fiscal has been very accommodating over the last few weeks which the Club fully appreciates."
