Those of us who grew up in Dumbarton East back in the day enjoyed having the gasworks right next to the sewage works - my olfactory senses remain somewhat sub-optimal to this day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Berwick played their home game against Dumbarton at Coatbridge during that period. I guess they couldn’t find anywhere closer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here goes: 1- Hampden, 2- Firhill, 3- Shielfield, 4- Easter Road, 5- Tynecastle? (guess), 6- East End, 7- Tannadice, 8- Love Street? (guess), 9- Celtic Park, 10- Fir Park, 11- Pittodrie, 12- Ibrox.

kingjoey Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Without looking at anyone else’s attempts. 1 Hampden 2 St Mirren 3. Motherwell 4 Hibs 5 Hearts 6 Dunfermline 7 Dundee United 8 Dundee (no idea) 9 Celtic 10 Motherwell (again, oops) 11 Pittodrie 12 Ibrox For someone that has been to the vast majority of Scottish league grounds that was really difficult.

Don’t know Arthur Thompson’s position but all the other four (Duncan, Hamill, Grant and Graham) were left wingers. I've worked with Arthur Grant - good guy, plenty of good stories about his playing days too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Wakeman and John Peel went to Meadowbank Thistle games Dougie Donnelly was a Clyde fan and Arthur Montford followed Morton - I saw Arthur in the stand at Cappielow once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives @Dundee Hiberniana chance to check his Lorraine Kelly folder at least? Zippy from Rainbow is surely United's most famous fan. He won a BBC poll around 15 years ago by a huge margin to be selected Britain's top celebrity sports fan. Presenter and writer of Rainbow Geoffrey Hayes was a United fan, having been resident of Dundee for a number of years in the 'sixties. Producers originally had Zippy as blue, but Geoffrey insisted of a change of colour to honour his team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
