Another quirk of Lochburn Park is that the floodlights cast a very yellow light. Maryhill Social Club does do a smashing pint of Tennent's too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird bit is I can't find any history of the ground hosting greyhounds or speedway as such a track would make sense for those sports. It seems to have been used as a venue for the Shotts Highland games.

Flybhoy Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Ibrox sometime in the 1970's, what is now the Govan/Sandy Jardine stand. Some particularly cracking floodlights atop the roof there, pretty sure Kilmarnock had identical ones at Rugby Park before it was renovated about 20 years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Inglis in "The Football Grounds of Great Britain" called the Rugby Park lights "The Spiders from Mars"!. The tradition sort of lives on for one set of lights at Gayfield Park: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintonfan Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 tynie really was hemmed in in the 80's, classic old ground with drenchlighting floodlights 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Not a Scottish stadium, but I passed this today and wondered if there are any Scottish stadia with floodlights across the street from the actual stadium? There's probably a really obvious example in forgetting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Ibrox has an amazing quirk. The capacity is 50,000 but for European games can instantly be reconfigured to a more comfortable 47,000. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it is against us, so I will be in that crowd somewhere - - I think John Bourke is at the edge of the box. If it is the late 80s is it the game we beat them 1 nil to avoid relegation (for 1 season) when Jim Gilmour scored?
