Salvo Montalbano Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Tynecastle, late 80's. I always liked that Tynecastle (like East End and a few others) had a cover that went along the sideline then continued round the back of the goals. East End had cover all the way along the side and all the way behind the goals though whereas Tynecastle (and the likes of Raith and Dundee Utd) only had a roof that partially covered the side and end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I remember being in Tynecastle in 1989 for Scotland v Portugal, U16 World Cup Semi-Finals. Place was rammed- I'm sure that the crowd was given as 27,000 and Tynecastle's official capacity was something like 24,000! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there too, in the front row of the stand (my reward for being early for once was to sit through that 45 mins ) Plus the added bonus of having to listen to Wallet Merger who grabbed the mic off the official announcer so he could polish his ego with a wee speech . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Yep they called it as 29k but I had been plenty of times when it was 29k and was never as busy as that. The ground was rammed.I went to the group stage games as wellGuinea, Saudi Arabia, Portugal and Colombia They played the games as double headers and while obviously crowds were never as packed as the Scotland game the place had a bit of a buzz about itOn the whole it seemed Tynecastle hated Saudi, didn’t much care for Portugal, quite liked Colombia and fell in love with Guinea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The corner between the Jungle and the Celtic end at the old CP, for what its worth, that fence is roughly where I sit now in the redeveloped stadium. Section 143, about ten rows from the back of the bottom tier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I picked up the Lifted Over The Turnstiles book from Waterstones this week which shows fantastic old pictures of all (almost) the old grounds, only a few I recognise from this thread. Don't know if it's been mentioned before but it's an excellent book (you can skip by the Chick Young foreword). Supposed to be a Christmas present for my dad but I can't help flicking through it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
