If that was in say Stirling or Falkirk, it would be used pretty much every year for semi finals. If Killie had only been able to go the full length down the side, surely would have been 20k? Even now, I think you could build a decent chunk of uncovered rail seating at the end of the stand which would be cracking, although completely unnecessary.

I think Killie would need to be bought over by someone from the middle east before we'd see that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like visiting Kilmarnock, but the away stand, and I assume others, are almost as uncomfortable as Tannadice's Jerry Kerr Stand. As I recall the seats were designed to have slightly curved backs, which allowed more seats into the new structures. Even a wee lad like me finds the seating uncomfortable, but the views from the Chadwick Stands are good. In more modern times I aim for the Frank Beattie Stand if possible, much more space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was as worth a place as he'd been before leaving Celtic. Actually, having looked into it a bit, and you're right. Celtic selling Aitken was one of the biggest mistakes they made around that time. His last game for Celtic was against St Mirren on January 6th, 1990. Over the rest of the season, Celtic won one league game. One. For the first year after Aitken left, Celtic won 7 league matches in total. They collapsed. In the 89/90 season, only Dundee (who were relegated) won less matches than Celtic. Amazing stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Aberdeen have blue/navy away kits in the 80’s/90’s??

Ranaldo Bairn Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Yeah there was a navy one with gold pinstripes, and another blue one with a Jackson Pollock on the shoulders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the original keeper was sat on or not, but here's another from around the same era with the keeper in red. Who's the Hibs player on the box again? I recognise his face but can't remember the name Edited July 30, 2021 by Bogbrush1903 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
