I think I can just bookmark this thread for whenever people complain about us not being allowed alcohol at games.

Younger fans will find it hard to imagine just how insane those days were, with fans allowed to carry cases of beer, bottles of whisky/spirits on to the terracing...and relieving themselves where they pleased!

That was when I first started watching football, so I'm assuming the trouble really took off in the 70s? If alcohol was allowed in the grounds prior to that there doesn't appear to have been anything like as much violence.

It was great planning how Hampden had ash terracing as it soaked up the pish coming from the higher up terracing.
