Up to the 1960s and even the early 70s, lots of men would be required to work Saturday mornings and would be going to the game straight from work. Also, the average working man did not have a casual wardrobe of clothes seperate from his work clothes. The ony real decision was tie on or tie off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that big a percentage of football fans have been engaged in white collar work back then though? I think that in 1970, most of those who worked on Saturday mornings, would not have sported a tie to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Workers that wouldn't dream of weaing a jacket and tie now - shop workers, warhousemen, tradesmen, milkmen, certainly all office workers would be wearing jacket and tie. If you look at old photos even road workers and shipyard workers are wearing jacket trousers and waistcoat ! Maybe a lot of factory workers would leave their overalls/dungarees on a peg at the factory ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My granddad followed Ayr his whole life (from 1930s-80s) and I know that he always wore a suit and a hat to the football. He did also wear a suit to watch certain news programmes on the tv so maybe that was just him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory of the 70s as a young lad was that the men went out on the town after they got off the supporters bus, without going home first. Going through to Glasgow when the M8 was only part finished, took most of the day, and coming back the bus often detoured along Princes St to let them off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The famous Gorgie Road end became the away end so it was an end of an era for some old timers and traditionalists..... bloody hooligans. Still didn't stop them though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had back page and I'm sure a 3 page piece on it.I can always remember my old man at the breakfast table looking up and saying " is that fucking you" to him.Complete denial obviously. The police arresting him obscured his face luckily.When he left the kitchen I asked him if it was him and he said "aye but shush".

I couldn't tell you the last time I went home after a game to get changed for a night out.

Never knew what they looked like as only ever saw the back of them as they bolted. I do remember them however congragating in the Derry once before a match in the late 70s pre segregation. Needless to say it never turned out well for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People wore ties when they travelled somewhere on holiday and plenty, like my grandad, even wore a tie to sit around the house to watch telly. It's just to do with social change. It probably did reflect working patterns to a degree, but I doubt if that was the main reason. I suppose it was a while ago now, but it doesn't feel as wildly distant as it looks in some respects.
