Memories of Old!

[where'stheslope]

Remembering the good old days before all the bile that has now taken over in games V the Yams!

We played games of select teams of both Hibs and Yam players, some at Easter Road some at Tynecastle.

I found this over on Keechback, and it does not half take you back to the days when we would be at Easter Road one week and Tynecastle the next, and just look at the size of the crowds!!!!

Can't believe they got 45,000 into Tynecastle, always thought their biggest crowd was a cup game V Rangers 44,000?

Still what we could do if we still got crowds of 40-50,000 every week?
