Favourite quirks of Scottish stadiums.

Image result for princess royal park banff

One of my favourite pictures of Princess Royal Park, Banff.  Home of Deveronvale.  Its taken from Macduff overlooking the river Deveron.  Not the most 'quircky' I grant you, but the best part is the pitch - many pro teams, including the Faeroe Islands have played there and said its the best pitch they have ever played on.

Liked Billy Connolly's routine about the guy starting a "Give us a 'D'!" chant...

I used to work round the corner at the Haymarket Scotrail depot and seen the construction of the stand coming along every day. It seems to have went backwards somehow. Cracking stadium though.

The nursery is handed over to the council

 

It’s not the club’s construction project

 

But they should have it sorted by October

That must be one of the most unchanged since 1950 views of a ground.

Actually, it has changed a fair bit. The terracing on three sides has been built up and three new covers constructed. The foreground is now also an "amusement" arcade.

Was that when the b*****ds threw a CS Gas bomb into the Hibs support?

I remember that. We composed a song in support of our fellow citizens:

Nobody knows where that gas cloud came from
It's spoiling my view of the game
I'm wandering around now with tears in my eyes
It's just a crying shame

I'm a Hibby and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you!

It's somehow unsurprising that jambos were getting battered up and down the length of Edinburgh for decades around this time when you see stuff like this.

Battered by you Lebowski ? Or "big boys" that you latched on to - boys that gave you a wigwam in your trousers.

No that incident happened in the November fixture, that picture is from the game in April,  2-0 to Celtic.

Bloody hell McGhee. Ruining one thread by posting your Celtic scrapbook is bad enough but two's not on. That pic has sod all to do with stadium quirks.

Never been involved with the casuals at all other than a few beers with them on occasion. Have ended up skelping some jambos who've attacked me on a couple of occasions though.

How about you, been battered off Hibbies a few times aye?

Fwiw I was in the terracing the day of that game, if anyone had sung that song to me I'd have knocked them out. Legitimately terrifying. A year before Hillsborough and a stupidly big crowd. I was pinned to the end of a crush barrier for a few seconds and only was able to move after some boy braced himself away from it to let me get off it. Mate I was with broke his ankle after tripping in the crush to get out and being trampled.

Particularly by thick Hibbies who can't tell the difference between Hearts and Meadowbank supporters. Or were your eyes still watering?
