I know that but Meadowbank Thistle didn't play at that stadium.

 

That's the Speedway stadium

Played there many times. Watched Speedway there on Saturday nights, went to the pits and helped the riders maintaining their bikes on a Sunday after the previous nights races. Remember Leith Athletic and there was also an Edinburgh City team. With no television, and only radio or the movies, sports were another way to get away from life for a wee while. It was by todays comparisons a pretty bland life, but you sure learned a life time lesson to be happy with what you've got.

Aye one man to make the tea, and nine to watch and advise.

Stick a phone in each of their hands and that could be council workers today.

 Yeah, when I look at it that is some  chin, never had that profile before, everything else looks like I remember myself. But I will gladly withdraw any claims to the "chin". Its no mine.

That old picture is taken just infront of the gate that leads to the Chinese supermarket. Its a pretty big corner when viewed from there.

Only one boy down the bottom not wearing a collar and tie.

 

I think theres only one woman too. Above the S heading up the aisle. Looks like a hat and a fur coat. Likely away early to get her mans tea on. As it should be of course.

 

Wummin at the game?

 

Worlds gone mad.
