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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Bartender Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 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 Share Posted January 7 @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.

I'm now wondering if it is Dens, around 1921 when the Archibald Leitch Stand was under construction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 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...

I hadn't noticed the level went up and down, I thought they were just big storage tanks. My uncle says he used to sit in Glebelands Primary in Dundee watching the Stannergate gas holders going up and down. If you met him you would belive him. 1 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...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 20 hours ago, HibeeJibee said: I think this is adjacent to Ibrox prior to an Old Firm game in the late 1950's ? 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...

kingjoey Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 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. When do we get the answers? (Unless you’ve already put them up @HibeeJibee) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
