I was one of the paltry 4,000 or so supporters at that Airdrie game in 1982*
I bet, despite his constant boasting about being one of the few Hibbies at badly attended games, even Hermit Crab wasn't at that one...

I’ve a cutting somewhere of the fall out after that Falkirk game in 1981. They’d been accused of trashing the changing rooms and throwing food about. John Hagart (who later became a great colleague of mine) is quoted as saying he could “trust his players to have tea with the Queen”.

Any thoughts on what that structure on the main terracing is far to the left of the HT scoreboard, shown just after the 2nd goal? I’ve no recollection of it. About 35 seconds in.
I[QUOTE=Iggy Pope;6424121]Dunno what that is?Quote:

[QUOTE=Iggy Pope;6424121]I have a vague memory it might have something to do with the old railway siding/line that was once behind the stadium. :confused::confused:Quote:

Not as I recall and it doesn’t look like advertising. The toilets never had as much as a roof to my memory.Quote:

It might be my imagination but isn't it a sign saying 'Refreshments'?
p.s. Just had another look and I'm talking utter crap (as per).

The Refreshments stand was much lower down and that sign is FAR too big.

Id forgotten all about those toilets. To call them basic would be an understatement!Quote:
