luckydug Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 attendance was still pretty low then also That is very much the same structure as it was when it was demolished. A few changes such as the enclosure at the front of the stand but the stand itself was just as ramshackle in the 90s as the 20s. Our main stand was considered a palace compared to that heap of junk. Was in there a few times you didn't get a seat you got space on a bench marked out with white lines giving you about a foot to queeze into. Coming down the stairs which were wooden planks with spaces between each step you could clearly see piles of rubbish lying at the foot of the stairwell. They have some cheek criticising our main stand when they got away with that fire hazard for the best part of 70 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some cheek criticising our main stand when they got away with that fire hazard for the best part of 70 years. The only time I was in it was the East Of Scotland Schoolboys Final when Musselburgh Grammar beat Dalkeith High 2 - 1 circa 1965/66. The winners had "stars" like Jim Jefferies, Billy Brown, Ally Brown (WBA) & Alex Martin (Hull City). My abiding memory is the "dust bowl" we created stamping our feet on the wooden floor. Also remember Ally coming home at end of season after joining WBA, playing in "ad hoc" games of football down The Haugh at Stoneybank. Slight difference from English 1st Division, probably no longer possible due to Insurance conditions for pros. Looking forward to renewing my ST in the new stand next season with fingers crossed a wee bit more leg room. The benefits of being in 2nd last row of existing Main Stand, is no worry about wind or rain. I will just need to be careful when selecting my seat going forward.

An absolute shitehole. I couldn't actually believe what I was seeing. Slatted steps. No seats. Piles of rubbish. Complete death trap. Scaffs.

Abiola Dauda Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Apparently greenginger drove down McLeod Steet earlier today. This was what he had to say over on hobo.net Just drove down Mcleod Street this morning and the building is still there. A small outshoot at the back has been pulled down. Also, as of this morning , the Chris Stewart Group is still using the property ( Land Registry No. 101939 ) as security for the companies borrowings. Now, it could be that the deal has been concluded in the last few days as it takes a week or so for Companies House to be notified of the satisfaction of a charge. However since Mrs Budge claimed she had bought the building 12 months ago, you will understand my scepticism . That is not a Scottish title number. If it is real at all it is English.

Francis Albert Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 At least down Easter Rd they have the capability to enclose their corners whereas we can't with those daft pylons connected to the struts right along the front edge of the roofs. Could easily get another 500-1000 seats in each corner. Always thought there was a fair amount of waste considering how tight an area we have to play with. Their ground will still be pish though, which is more important.
