I'm hoping this is a mistake in the pic How about onto the pitch? if it?s safety you are concerned about. How they get in and out after normal matches I don?t know though...Perhaps they run out with the teams! You could charge extra for that! EDIT: Actually looking closer it looks like the Press as they are all standing. No longer behind the goal line then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambovambo Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Just guessing ... (and I realise they are portrayed as "standing" fans) ... but could that be disabled access areas? Crikey - remember the wee light blue cars (can't bring myself to use the now non-PC nickname they had ...)? They had a Villiers motorbike engine in them.

Boris Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Ernie Winchester hit one once. Swear that thing nearly tipped over. I remember there was an altercation at the front of the away end at the old Parkhead and the wee sky-blue cars all sped off in a way reminiscent of the Red Arrows, a sort of formation escape if you like.

Dave 1974 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I can clear up the 'standing' space at the front of the stand. It's for the old section N'ers. They can now feel free to attack away supporters from pitchside. Very accommodating Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people would renew, if they got a standing section at pitch level ! TBH, a standing section will only be good, if it was high up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wibble Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Just for you MJ... Quality. Late model flidmobile that one. 1976 was P reg IIRC. Pass the Kia Ora and the wagon wheels - served up by this young fellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambovambo Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Just for you MJ... Guy I knew told a story (must've been around 1976, right enough ...) of driving home peshed one night, rode a red light, hit one of them near the back, drove on without stopping and looked in his mirror to see it going round and round in circles ... Good jambo, too. Still in the old stand. You know who you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambovambo Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Just for you MJ... I think they were plastic, or fibreglass or something? Bless 'em and all who (took their lives in their hands and) drove in them. Great memories of gritty, foggy winter's day games, being shown on Scotsport on the Sunday afternoon ... not quite jumpers for goalposts, but you see where I'm heading.

alwaysthereinspirit Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Just for you MJ... Some of them had "JOY" sticks instead of steering wheels. Seems a little politically incorrect considering the reason most people were in them in the first place. Not a lot of joy going on in the back of that little love wagon.

Maroon Mayhem Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I remember when I was about 15, we had a right nasty old git who lived in the area I grew up, he had one of these things but he had absolutely nothing in the way of a disability that would make him qualify. He used to moan at anything and never had a good word to say for anyone. The gardens at the front of the houses had these waist high black fences with the wire mesh in the middle. One day he tore an absolute strip out of a wee lad who had the audacity to go collect his ball from his garden so that night some of us younger lads helped a few older guys lift the fecker over his fence and put it in his garden. We rang his doorbell and retreated a wee distance, he came out his house and stood with his mouth open for all of a minute before going round the front and trying to lift the thing. Why he tried that, I've absolutely no idea but to this day it remains the funniest thing I've ever seen although it does still give me wee pangs of guilt now and again.

jambovambo Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Brilliant. So he had the cheek to try to lift a car (albeit a sh'tey, plastic one with a motorbike engine) when he was on the disability soash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Mayhem Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 He did that, although he upgraded to a Mobility car when they came out quicker than you could say Ford Fiesta! He worked in a pub cash in hand and could be seen moving kegs before getting in his wee blue golf buggy and driving home pashed. He's what was affectionately known in these parts as a conning bassa!
