Gorgiewave Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I remember a game from about the early 90s when it rained terribly. The shed was packed and the rest of the Hearts end was sparse. Henry Smith was in goals. Does anybody remember the game? Or remember any other games with rain similar to today's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambos_1874 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Was it the case that the rain was being driven into the stands so people had to go up the back? If not, that's a fairly poor design if the stand roof does notmcover the first few rows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, that's a fairly poor design if the stand roof does notmcover the first few rows! If there's wind, the rain won't fall vertically. Probably the first ten or more rows are exposed to rain if it's windy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William H. Bonney Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Not tynecastle but i attended a game a fir park that was abandoned at half time due to torrential rain. Also recall a game at murrayfield, maybe Sparta Prague, that rained so hard my phone got water damage. It was in my jacket pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainy Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I think it was indeed dundee United.

1971fozzy Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 The 4-0 Scottish Cup game in 1989 with THAT John colquhoun goal was as bad for rain as I've ever seen. The game should of never went ahead.

Bazzas right boot Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Was it Higdon?Naw, it was early/ mid 90's. 5/6? Maybe earlier. About 5k at the game, pissing down, wed night.

Gorgiewave Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Thanks for the info. The clip I remember seeing had Henry Smith at the Gorgie end with rain dripping from his head, which isn't in that clip. Does anybody recognise that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hueyview Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Worked two stints stewarding at tynecastle. Maybe the Austria Vienna game, it was European... Midweek game, standing on track pouring rain vertically, an hour before kickoff... When game started, I was in a very large puddle..zoomed up the stairs, got a pie, soaked decided to bail out... Pint and nip in tynie.......still pouring, another pint..... . I think Hearts won.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romac Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I remember a game at Fir Park, mid to late 90's. Torrential rain, Stephane Adam slid on his arse for about 10 yards down the touchline trying to win a ball. Game abandoned at halftime when the ball wouldn't bounce in the goalmouth. Fir Park again, the season before last, was pretty impressive with the rain swirling round the ground. Looked great in the floodlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worst one though was at Killie at the start of our run to the Scottish Cup final in 96.

henryheart Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Gornik game in the 1970's. I remember a small knot of Poles standing at the front of the Shed, one with a large bell that he rang when the urge gripped him. They looked rather bemused as we all trudged out the gates leaving them standing there wondering what was going on when the match was abandoned.

Papa Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Not at Tynie but at ER in August 1964 it rained heavily all day. There was no cover on the terraces whatsoever but once you were soaked thru you couldn't get any wetter. It was a stonker of a game and Hearts triumphed 5-3. Folk are soft these days although I admit it is better standing in the rain than sitting in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
