Almost a full strength City side in the 2-2 first leg at Maine Road - Healey, Book, Donachie, Doyle, Booth, Jeffries, Summerbee, Towers, Davies, Brennan, Mellor – subs Lee(45), Corrigan(45)

Attracted a sizeable crowd of neutrals that night.

Me being one of them.

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.

Your flat must have been more expensive than the others for that reason then ...

A Pinterest find of what appears to be a pretty routine day at Gayfield.  Louis Theroux is out of his box in the foreground whilst a hardy but lardy visitor from Forfar is sporting what appears to be a pair of Loons branded budgie smugglers.

Arbroath winning the Division 2 title at Gayfield v. Montrose IIRC.

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.

It's a fantastic photograph.  

It's appeared here before and it's an all time classic.

That lad in the swimming pants went on to become 'Big Jack Horner' in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish released tomorrow in the UK:

Is this some sort of quiz?

HibeeJibee is doing his @Flybhoy impersonation by getting us to guess what he's posting, who's in it and when it happened...

Reverend Green, with the lead piping, in the Ducket at Berwick?

Berwick's stand, as shown above, was bought second hand from Valley Parade, home of Bradford City. I've seen a photo of Valley Parade with the particular stand in it.

Berwick previously played at Old Shielfield, currently the home of Tweedmouth Rangers, and which backs onto New Shielfield for those who have never enjoyed the delights of a visit to Berwick Rangers (or Tweedmouth)

A couple more of City Park, minus the Main Stand, that I took at Spartans v St Mirren on 5th Feb 2006.

The free view from the street outside and the grassy slope of the away section, taken while I was still incognito, having got in with a home end ticket.
