hearts_crazy Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 My first ever Hearts game. Stood at the school end, about 3 or 4 steps up from the front near the exit. And all these years I though Prentice crossed for both goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Gilbert Wauchope Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Where did those 40 years go? Wed 29 Jan 1975 Hearts 2 Kilmarnock 0 Scottish Cup R3 Tynecastle Park Edinburgh Scotland 21054 Ref: David FT Syme Rutherglen http://londonhearts.com/scores/games/197501291.html This game marked the return of Willie Bauld to Tynecastle. Drew Busby scores a memorable header. Was this game cancelled from a Saturday because of weather? I mind being at a wedding sometime in the 70s when the best man (another Hearts supporter) came across to tell me - with a smile on his face - that the game that day had been cancelled. And that, I'm sure, was a cup game against Killie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Treasurer Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Can't believe this was 40 years ago !!!! Remember it well, I was behind the goal at the school end, bloody freezing but a great night. As has been said a decent crowd for a cold Monday night but that was in the days when crowds went UP for cup games compared to league matches.

martoon Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 It would have been my first ever game. My dad had told me the week before he was taking me and I've never forgotten the disappiontment when we heard it had been postponed. We lived in Abbeyhill and I had to be content with listening to occasional roars from the H1b5-Celtic game at fester that day. He couldn't take me to the rearranged midweek game because of work and It wasn't until the Quarter Final v. Dundee that I finally went to Tynecastle. 40 years. Wow.

Big Moysey Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Based on the crowd and gate receipts the average admission price was 33.5 p per person. If you think a pint was around 16p then a typical pint has gone up approx. 18 times that price since then. A typical admission of ?18 has gone up approx 54 times!

The White Cockade Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 aye changed days can always remember being more excited about Cup games and the crowds were always bigger for them than league matches Remember this game and the 3 games against Montrose a couple of years later like it was yesterday can't remember what I did yesterday mind!

Francis Albert Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Any regular from those days would be able to make a pretty good guess at the crowd from the photo. The north enclosure being that full meant 20,000 plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 As an article by his nephew in the first "1874" magazine (now defunct?) revealed it wasn't in fact the King's first visit to Tynie since his exile. He apparently attended a game incognito when the said nephew was a mascot a few months before the Killie game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobblers Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Strange thing about the 70's. The average crowds were probably much lower than now but certain games still attracted big crowds.

I remember the Dundee games well though, again surprised it was as much as 29k. Without looking up London Hearts, who else did we play in r4? Dundee game was on Scotsport the following day, battles under the shed all afternoon. 1974 Qf against Ayr wasa great crowd with another mental replay night on the following Wednesday.

Tasavallan Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 My vivid recollection (even after all this time) of Drew Busby was a EOS Shield Final at ER. He tackled the Hibs players (Brownlie?) so hard that the player was knocked out and stretchered off. Busby just carried on as if nothing had happened but I think he got a yellow card and was subsequently send off for a 2nd yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cup was so much more important in those days. In the same season as that Bauld's return game, none of our league games (except Hibs, Rangers and Celtic) attracted much more than half the crowd for that Killie game and most were 10,000 or below. Relatively few people had STs and the games you opted not to see were routine league games rather than cup ties. That doesn't explain it all though - we also took much bigger away supports to cup ties than ordinary league games (there was a 14,000 crowd for a cup tie at QOS that season).
