Yep, Peterhead, although the ground was called Recreation Park close to the town centre which they moved out of a couple of years before they joined the SFL in c.2000.

Aah, Cove Rangers? :wallbash:

 

Keeping to the original topic, should have ruled out Prestonfield!!

 

I'm giving in, started viewing last night at 11:45pm with Maroon Sailor entries & got to bed at 1:00am:lol:. Glad I've retired (early)!

Bottom will be Highland League, based on advertising boards. Inverness Caledonian? & because of that guess, I'm going for Inverness Thistle for the top picture

Can anyone put me out my misery.......I seem to remember Alan Anderson getting sent off in 1st half of a 2 - 0 defeat for a stamp on Alex Ferguson at Brockville, or is this just my mind playing silly beggers?

 

Another game that springs to mind there was Arthur Thomson playing centre forward as we were on a run of about 6+ games without a goal. It was a midweek match, lost 2 - 1, Arthur did NOT score or play centre forward again!!

My first away game, I think it was 1971. My memories of it are - Fordy getting a goal chalked off for offside fairly early on. Garland playing instead of Cruickie as Cruickie's dad had died. Anderson did get sent off (can't remember what half though). I thought Fergie also got sent off too but can't remember. We were 2-0 down at half time, the 2nd goal was a penalty. Ernie hit the bar. Oh and Falkirk's floodlights looked shite :)

Wow, impressive. I wonder what the youngsters comments on here would be like when watching the prowess of Ernie:lol:

 

Falkirk were the opponents for my 1st Jambos game. Home at Tynecastle on a Friday night in January 1964 (Rugby International at Murrayfield on the Saturday). We won 4 - 0. When I paid a visit to the museum, I mentioned this to Davy Allan who promptly brought up the match report on his phone!!

I stood in that bottom pics shed when we played Caley in a testimonial.....mid 80s perhaps. The game Perez played as a trialist.

Alan Anderson sent off after a clash with Fergie - Dec 71

Thanks M S. The website is really impressive, must take time to navigate round it in greater detail.

 

Here's me getting AA sent off in the 1st half, good try putting result down to playing with 10 men for most of the match:sad3:

 

I clearly remember the stamp which when you consider his demeanor off the field was a bit out of character. Saying that, Alan Anderson did have a mean streak on the park.

Have a bad memory of Hearts being absolutely garbage here losing 3-1 in the old first division days.

 

Just checked London Hearts and looked at the team that played that day - enough said !!

This place was always tasty

Coming from Falkirk I'd go to a few games at Brockville with my mates when we were playing away.  Total dump but decent atmosphere.  Saw some good wins for us there but also the odd loss such as the 4-0 Scottish Cup defeat.  The building in the image is someone's house and remains in the car park at the top end of the now Morrison's supermarket car park.  The window you can see is the bathroom window and the owner used to go range if you banged on it lol.  I remember Jean Louis Valois playing as a trialist in a pre season game at Brockville.  He was by far the best player on the pitch.

The game where the goals weren’t big enough iirc. Did they not reach the final that year or I’m getting mixed up🤔

Whats happened to Majorca they just move ground? 

Why do the Spanish just abandon older structures it really makes the place look a right state. Absolutely everywhere in Spain this type of thing.

I can remember Hearts wanted to lodge an appeal.  They beat Chelsea in the semi final but lost the final.

 

Mallorca moved to the Son Moix Stadium a few years ago.  They still own the old stadium and they were thinking of renovating it and moving back but I think they hit financial difficulties.  They might take it forward now since they got promoted to La Liga this season.
