A Poetic tribute to the East - and a name?

[Bostonhibby]

Sorry if already posted

First it was massive, with thousands of Stairs

Old men with caps on, young guys in their flares

It had seen Barca and Real Madrid

Then they chopped it in half and stuck on a lid,

From that day onward the east stand was born

Sometimes amazing, somtimes forlorn

It sung Frankie Sauzee and Keith, Keith, Keith, Keith

Glory to the Hibees and Sunshine on Leith

Its seen two league cups come back full of bubbly

It laughed when Steve Fulton got booked for being ugly

It told Wallace Mercer to go kiss our ar*e

It wept when Joe Baker knelt down on the grass

My mates and your mates to name but a few

were doing the bounce as we trounced them 6 - 2

But now it is changing, a good thing I think

As long as its green, not bus shelter pink

If I could name it, I'd put in a bid

There is only one choice..........

"The Sir Albert Kidd"

Thats brilliant!

I would take out the Albert Kidd bit though as that doesn't strictly have anything to do with the ET.....but still

You were maybe too young to have been in there celebrating as the news filtered through from Dens....

My memory mighty be playing tricks on me, but I didn't think the roof was on that day.

It certainly wasn't seated.

We were playing Dundee United and I thought it was open air.

(The Joe Baker reference is nice, but not chronologically accurate, for sure!)

Definitely no seats, but the cover was built that season (85/86)

The only air in there that day would have been the stuff you were walking on at full time....

Is the JB reference not about the rally during the Mercer thing?

Well done to Tayside Hibby - a Hibee poet laureate prize surely in the post

[Phil MaGlass]
