So I. would assume this was from 78/79 sticker album. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be - must have been 1964/65 or earlier, as the Dons are still wearing white shorts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping silly points in games like that is why Morton were relegated that season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coleraine Borough Council had a gas department, but I don't recall if they had a gas holder (I suppose they must have had), as I seldom was on that street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Bartender Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 At half-time on a cold day, the banking between Pittodrie and the gasworks yard was shrouded in the mists resulting from the long line of urinators along the fence. Still, it was better than many a toilet at other grounds. Probably still would be. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 @HibeeJibee Quite sure of eleven of them. 1. Hampden 2. Firhill 3. Shielfield 4. Easter Road 5. Rugby Pk? 6. East End 7. Tannadice 8. Tynecastle 9. Celtic Pk 10. Fir Pk 11. Pittodrie 12. Ibrox 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never have got Shielfield or Love St. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually haven't a clue where it is. I wondered whether 8 was Firhill, but then saw number 2 was Firhill.

tamthebam Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 HJ is being a bit naughty. It's not the construction of (New) Shielfield in the 1940s (the stand came from Valley Parade, Bradford) but rather the time the roof was removed for safety reasons c1990 Berwick played "home" games at Meadowbank and Tynecastle while the ground was shut 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a pool of water that the dome sits in, that's all that holds the gas in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
