Fxxx the SPFL Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 i'm sure a few years ago there was a thread on this and somebody had the old sign or new where it was but it was in a bad state of repair it would be good to see it back i wonder when it was actually made.

They need to get the big cracks in their tenement flats fixed first that were caused by us building the stand.

tian447 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I think it would just look naff and incredibly out of place, but that's just because I don't have a nostalgic outlook on it. It would, however look great as part of a mural on the ends of the houses, or somewhere in the stadium, if that idea can ever get back on track!

I think an issue us that old farts like me, who have fond memories of it, are declining in number every day. It was demolished 25 years ago and in 10 years nobody under 45 will have any memory of it.
