hueyview Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I used to steward Saturdays in the late 80s. My pal John had a Gorgie road tenement flat which is in the picture. We were told to keep the stairways clear for safety, folk always poured out. Remember a boy swilling a triangular Teachers bottle of Whisky at the back............i let him finish it off, before taking the bottle away...........As said in the remenessences thread, i was there the Pee wall collapsed.........

Victorian Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I spent all my formative Tynecastle days in there. Usually right at the back in the corner to avoid the worst of the sway madness. Watching a game diagonally on from a corner seemed like the only way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son Of Anarchy Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I will never ever ever forget the smell of urine. Scarred me for life. The celebrations when we scored though. I'd loved to have seen it from the Gorgie rd end. Remember when the fences first got put up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorgieheart Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Great great great memories of the Crazy corner. .. did reek o pish a bit mind. Highlights include the bayern game..started off about 5 rows from the back. .. fergie burst the net , ended up squashed against the fence at the front. Game v Sellick, Paul Mcstay came to take a corner , cue a rain of pies,bovril and Mars bars.... along with "Paul Mcstay , yer a Juanker"....wee robbo had to coke over and calm the corner down.

Dutchmul Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Many happy days in there. In particular the Bayern game, the house was rockin' that night to quote Stevie Ray Vaughan. Also remember the new years derby when forged tickets were sold, probably 30k squeezed into tynie, was absolutely heaving. On a sadder note, remember the first home game after hillsborough, first time I can remember a minutes silence being absolutely observed, all you could hear were the turn styles clicking, very poignant. Also at the end of that game(think it was falkirk) quite spontaneously, hearts fans started tying their scarfs onto the fence behind the goal at the school end, some threw them onto the pitch and the ball boys tied them, very moving. Also remember the rivers of pish running down the terracing when it rained, top tip, don't wear suede shoes in the shed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 top tip, don't wear suede shoes in the shed. It still owes me a pair of blue suede Doc Martin brogues (it was the 80's). The toilet was about 3 inches deep in piss that particular day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haken Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Remember being there when we beat Celtic 3-1. Celtic scored first then a wonder save by Henry totally turned the game. Absolutely crazy atmosphere. Not for the faint hearted, the Shed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queensferryjambo Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I can even remember being in there when Kenny Black scored 4 goals against Hamilton, think we won 7-0. Not sure how good your memory is but Kenny Black scoring one goal in a game was a highlight Think the game you are thinking of might have been a Black hat trick against Dumbarton in 85? We did beat Hamilton 7-0 in the 80s but don't remember Black being on the score sheet. My fondest memory of chaos in the shed was the a 2-1 home win against H1b5 Robbo scored the winner late on. Plenty other great memories but for some reason that one stands out as being a bit madder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyphoonJambo Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'm filling up just reading this. Loved the shed.

i wish jj was my dad Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 when I was a wee kid I sat on the benches in front of the tv gantry then when I got a bit older I stood under the pylon in the shed.

dc-jambo Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Mind the time Wallace Mercer walked round to try and calm things down when we were losing 3-0 to Motherwell in a Division 1 decider and failing to win promotion? He told the press the next day that 'he felt like he had 5,000 sons' or some such p***. Also remember an old guy in the Dundee Arms advising me that 'the Shed is full of nutters'.

Debut 4 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I stood to the left(looking pitchward) still just under the roof most of the time. I stood right in the corner a few times though and at big games it could be mental. Great memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy the jambo Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 One of my best memories would be the Heart 3 ? 1 Celtic (November 1991). Henry's wonder save & the shed singing ' to die a fe**ian ba***rd' at half time for the full 15 minutes,the good old days when people wouldn't be upset by the pc brigade. Then the bedlam of scoring three against those manky mob,a little bit of closure after the semi in 1988. Also used to like the scurmashes with the Fauldhouse boys who'd fight amongst themselves cause they used to get bored easily :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I used to stand or should I say lean against a support pillar at the back near the edge of the shed at the school end. When it rained you got pushed closer to the floodlight and it could be bedlem there on derby or Rantic games when we scored. Happy teenage memories.

i wish jj was my dad Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 The Aberdeen cup game in 84.One of my first ventures away from the adults and I was on a barrier in the choir. The official attendance was only 24,000 but I reckon there was more than that in the shed. It was bonkers and even the polis were jumping about when big Sandy scored.
