hueyview Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Done a stint as a steward, central main stand, about 1998/9. The evenings game had been put back to 8 pm for sky/satalite purposes...... The stand was still fairly empty, about 7.30ish when a bloke wandered in and took his seat, to the right of where the players families sat....it became very busy, with the stand filling up... About 20 minutes into the game, when I was standing at the vomitry, a rather well to do, older lady, approached me and said that she and her group had noticed a flood of liquid cascading from behind them........they though one or more gents behind them were peeing....... Upon inspection it was the early bird bloke, who somehow brought in a case of export, opened a can, had a swig, put it down and kicked it over to open another and repeat......he got the bums rush......can still see that ladies consternation.............

whodanny Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Hi Guys, been a lurker for years and not posted but couldn't resist telling this gem. Late '89 or early '90, v Rangers at home. A throw in or corner or free kick to them down in the corner below the Shed. A voice from up in the Shed behind me pipes up "Heh!, Davie Dodds! Ye've a face like a melted wellie!" I still have a chuckle at that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbojambo Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Being seriously old I still remember the old half time scoreboards at Tynie and elsewhere where you need a programme to see the identity of the teams denoted by A, B, C etc and the long stick putting the score number up then sometimes taking it down again when they had made a mistake. Also in the days of 5pm opening standing outside the diggers watching the final scores on their telly. Ah the days before instant media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
