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. Nonsense, just like the myth of The Bridge of Doom, granted the hibs thugs had a reputation but one that was only deemed for the Liberty Section in the Library.

Older jambos may be able to confirm but, as I've only been in the Roseburn im taking an educated guess this is the opposite side of the ground? On 7/2/2017 at 00:07, Flybhoy said: Never been that end of Tynecastle but I know from watching on TV when I was young and old YouTube clips away fans got that end, why did they turn it round late 90's after redevelopment? On 7/2/2017 at 13:44, HibeeJibee said: It can't be that old a photo given there's floodlights, roof aerials and no tram-wires. I'm right that the Gorgie Stand was built after the Roseburn? Did they just move away fans in there for a few years then back to the Roseburn? On 7/3/2017 at 10:31, PauloPerth said: Whenever I went to Tynecastle before the new stands were built, away fans were always in the big open terrace at the Gorgie End. Home fans got the side with benches bolted onto terracing on the Wheatfield Side with a roof that curved round the corner to cover a wee bit of the Roseburn End. Are folk saying it used to be opposite ends about going further back? On 7/3/2017 at 11:12, GordonD said: Good point about the tram wires. They used to joke that Hearts would never win the Scottish Cup until they lifted the tram lines in Gorgie Road. Trams were phased out in Edinburgh in the 1950s and the lines in Gorgie Road were lifted in 1955 or 56 - and Hearts did win the cup! On 7/3/2017 at 13:11, Swello said: I started going to Tynecastle as an away fan in the 80's and it was always the Gorgie terracing in those days. I would guess before that was pre-segregation? I'm sure some of my older mates talk about being at the other end in 1970's... On 7/3/2017 at 14:11, Salvo Montalbano said: Pars fans in the late 80s early 90s got the Gorgie terracing and the Gorgie end of the Main Stand (although that stopped when the enclosure got those backless bucket seats and we got that instead of the tip-up seats in the stand above). The first time I was in the other end was for the Skol Cup semi-final v Airdrie in 1991, and I wasn't back at that end again until the stand was built at that end in about 1997(?). On 7/3/2017 at 14:31, The Mantis said: The lights went up in 1957. I occasionally forget how young most posters are. Being quite an auld c**t, I would be a toddler then. I remember the non-segregated days back in the 70s. Away fans would try and take the shed at the corner. If you notice in the far top left hand corner where the North British Distillery is there is no Shed, therefore take into account the floodlights are up (Oct 1957) and then The Shed was completed in 1959 so take your guess for your year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
