I think the last league game when we came close to an 18,000 crowd v Dundee at Tynecastle was 17,981 back in 1962. If we manage to get to 18,000 ths afternoon, it'll be the first time since the 50s.

Didn't we play Dundee in the first division, both clubs relegated from the Premier league at the time in front of a big crowd? Maybe just before the benches went into the shed. Several years before my time, but I think I remember older fans talk about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just before the benches went into the shed. Several years before my time, but I think I remember older fans talk about it. Around 300 under 20000 that day for what was a Division 1 record for years to come. That was until the demise of one half of the uglies. Hearts won this game 2-1 to continue a 3 way fight for promotion with Morton being the other team. The fight went all the way to the final game and Hearts triumphed with an Eammon Bannon header scoring the winner at Arbroath to secure not only the 2 points but promotion back to the big league (again).

Maroon Sailor Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I remember the first meeting with Dundee at Dens of the 77/78 season. Not so much the game but for the bricks getting thrown at the Hearts supporters buses after the match. Thankfully the bus I was on the windows survived. A bit chilly back to Edinburgh for other buses though https://www.londonhearts.com/scores/games/197710291.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at the Arbroath promotion game aged 15 on the SCAB Hearts supporters bus, was a cracking header from Eammon Bannon. I remember the police letting their dogs off their leads so they could go into the crowd and bite at will. In those days the police gave as good as they got and nobody moaned if you were on the receiving end, those were the rules. It was also the first time I had ever tasted champagne.

When the fighting started I had to lift her over the fence to get her away from it, despite a copper deciding this pregnant girl was trying to invade the pitch and trying to push her back over.
