Knowing about that is going to forever spoil Easter Road for me know. Pretty sure that's just a fascia on the left hand stand rather than a really thick roof. The weight of a roof that thick would be difficult to support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Sadly I never got to see a match at Boghead or at Rugby Park before its redevelopment, but I did get to watch fitba at this weird, charming and sadly missed old ground: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fir Park looks as though it were designed by committee with each member unable to see what the others were working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 My slight OCD tendencies don't like the difference in the thickness of Easter Road's roof in that shot with Arthur's Seat in the background. Knowing about that is going to forever spoil Easter Road for me know. Sounds like the sloped pitch would have blown your mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 That auld terrace at Easter Road is an immense looking thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 The shots of current stadiums look good and whilst they look nice, watching football in them is usually a fairly dull experience in terms of atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudu Dahan pal Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 That auld terrace at Easter Road is an immense looking thing. Biggest terrace in Britain at one time. Held 40'000 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSDR 88 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I find that bit you are standing at a bit dodgy underfoot when we go round there. You're right, in hindsight I probably should've took that Pano a few steps further back and it would've been a belter rather than at 'ground level' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Always liked this shot of a Morton - St. Mirren match from the late 1970s. ] This is an odd one, taken much earlier (60s or early 70s) where Cappielow appears to be hosting an international of some level.

Boghead ranter Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 This one's a Sons game at Somerset, which probably hasn't changed. And we've just conceded a goal, with our defence in disarray, which definitely hasn't changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover the Moon Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Love the old pics. More of them please. Stark's really misses having fans in front of the old main stand and the slope on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Muirton Park, a ground I was never able to visit, although my dad raves about it. Boy posted a whole rake of photos on our forum of the final game and then slow demolition of the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
