My dad took me to me to the north and south stands at Tynie, early 80s. Had season tickets there, I think because being American, he wasn't used to standing at NFL/baseball.

Hogmanay 1970 whilst walking up Candlemaker Row on his way to get his New Year bottle from the pub, he had a heart attack, collapsed and died right there in the street, he was quite far up the street I believe, so he could have died a matter of yards from where this photo ends.

Was a policeman Willie Davidson stationed there on permanent day shift to handle the traffic especially early morning when all the activity was taking place. Worked it a couple of times, never been addresseed so obscenely and my intelligence insulted so often by truck drivers who knew what they were doing and I was trying to get them to do something different.
