Specky Ginger Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Rovers put out a reserve team against Man City in 1995 as it was a few days after their first European game against Gotu. I'm sure the friendly against Man City ended 2-2. Andy Dibble was in goals for them and Les Fridge for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I visited Cliftonhill for the first time in years earlier in the season and wondered where they'd crammed in a record crowd of over 27,000 in 1936, but this picture from that same year indictes the possibility. A bit of a clearer image from 1950 shows the extensive footprint: Rovers must have sold off a huge parcel of land at some point. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to compare that ground size wise to Lochee Utd's ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Sanchez Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Some of those 1950 images of Cliftonhill are a real snapshot in time when you see some of the vehicles they have captured going past. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eder Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Cliftonhill has huge grounds around it. Surprised the spaces behind each goal have not been developed for housing and leisure. There could be gyms and other sport facilities incorporated into the area. The side to the left of the stand is on a hilly bank would cost a bit to level and I suppose is the reason. The area behind the covered terrace has a development of flats. I bought one in 1998 when they were built unfortunately it was a ground floor flat and I couldn't see the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your flat must have been more expensive than the others for that reason then ... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, beat Montrose 4-1 to win our first ever league title in 2011. If I’m correct that’s weel kent Arbroath fan SimonLichtie in the specks. Even though it was late April, it was a pretty miserable day so don’t know what the feck Speedo boy was up to. Love the reaction to him by the guys on the terrace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
