Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I have this memory of Tynecastle having a McDonalds outlet, it may just have been an advert above the kiosk I recall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Dumbarton trailblazed this trend in the 90s at Boghead. We had 2. (Apologies for the picture quality) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got some quite vivid memories, but none of them involve sun. In a moment of internationalism. I remember being there one midweek just after Sandy Clark left Airdrie and he either brought Frankie van der Else with him or borrowed his sponsored car, because it was parked behind the old stand I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Pack Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Loved that ground. The only downside was standing at the fence giving w****r signs to someone and then going for a pish to see him standing next to you. I was 15 and shit myself when I saw a guy I had been giving it the come ahead sign to standing two along from me. Dodgy perth b*****ds probably built it like that on purpose... Here is the actual toilet wall you were doing a Pish in.Photo was taken at the very last game at Muirton Park against Ayr Utd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They guy who I was giving it big come on then to before I found myself next to him just started laughing when he seen me turn white. I went back to the other side of the fence and gave it the you're getting it signs to him and he just smiled and gave me the thumbs. Taught me what the football was all about. I think it was the first game of the season after when we both came up together. One of my fav memories from an away ground Edited April 21, 2020 by HooseLee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Pennel Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I've asked for a chap to come see what he thinks, but surely if it was Starks Park it would say "Raith Rovers Football Club" on the stand ?...and not also have the Kilbirnie Hills in the background ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbrucerick Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Picture doesn't do the slope at Beith justice. Neither does this one but if you look at the angle of the crossbar and the terracing along the touchline you get an idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP_81 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 If that pic doesn't do the slope justice how fu*kin bad is the slope?!!! Picture doesn't do the slope at Beith justice.

I got took to Clydebank shopping centre with my aunt and uncle, but must have been annoying them as my uncle decided to take me to the game while my aunt went shopping. It might be my young mind playing tricks but I always remember the stadium as being sunken down below ground level, with large mounds of earth round the stands. I’ve went and looked at pictures of the stadium on google but it’s hard to judge from them. The ground obviously been built out the side of a hill back in the day. Had a cover that ran the length of the pitch. Slight problem was it only covered about the back three rows of punters. They started bumming about being an all seated stadium. The old terracing had been covered in wooden benches. Luckily Clydebank has the same weather as Benidorm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Starks. The hills in the background have been reclaimed by the sea. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
