Graham Thomson Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I just dipped into this discussion The ground was the terracing Then you had the enclosure and the stand!! I would say to my brother what time will i meet you in the ground for example! And season tickets were for the ground or enclosure or the stand! That's my recollection of how it was in the 70s and 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i wish jj was my dad Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I still refer to the ground which I am certain will be bursting at the swans next season despite Enzo's tiresome campaign to justify not buying a ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still use the term yet although instead of saying I arrived at the Stadium I would say I arrived at the ground or I got into the ground late etc. Not too many folk bothered with STs back then and those who did were mostly in the Stand. If Enzo had one for the GROUND he is indeed a PHM imo. Yeah we’d use the term ground as in “see you in the ground” “whats who give a feck fc’s ground called?” That kinda thing. I still use it same as you. Didn’t know the reference to ground ST’s though had never heard that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XB52 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 The ground was what I always called Tynecastle Park. Hardly anyone had a season ticket in the old days but it certainly seems to be the case that the terracing ones were called ground ones.

Brave Hearts Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Amazing how after it has been proven with a picture from an old programme that those who have not heard this terminology before still seem to think it’s not true or won’t accept the facts just because they haven’t heard of it or that they were unaware of it.

ramrod Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Only time I ever heard the term was when buying a season ticket eg £50 for the ground, £75 for the enclosure etc , Sometimes referred to as ," you got a ticket for the terracing ? "Or more often than not , "see you behind the goals." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatlock Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 10 hours ago, Jambo-Fox said: Back in the day ..... when I first started going (and also when I bought my first ST), at Tynecastle Park there were three areas; 1. THE GROUND - entry through one of three banks of turnstiles ( McLeod St, Gorgie Road & Wheatfield St) once in freedom to roam anywhere! 2. THE ENCLOSURE - although split North & South there was actually a ‘bridge’ over the players tunnel which facilitated transition from end to end 3. THE STAND - split, North, Centre & South - once in stay in the section you entered That’s how I remember it too. It was the days when we congregated behind the goals and changed ends at half time. If we were feeling flush we went to the enclosure but on special occasions we were taken to the Stand. When we got older we graduated to the shed where the gorgie aggro/singing section was. Changing ends usually involved running the gauntlet of opposite fans as we passed each other. Those were the days with pish running down the terrace as the toilets were like the black hole of Calcutta. I can smell the atmosphere now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wee bus shelter they had behind the goal at ER was mental on Derby day as well . Many a heated encounter as one set of fans met the other set of fans changing ends. Health and Safety gtf?
