  1. 1961 Hearts v Dundee programme. The cover picture is from a Hearts v St Mirren game. Probably the 0-0 league draw at Tynecastle in front of 12,000 two weeks earlier. This was St Mirren’s gisth visit to Tynecastle in 1960/61 drawing 1-1 in a League Cup Sectional Tie on the opening day of the season in August (30,000) then winning 1-0 in the Cup QF in March (34,325). They met eventual cup winners Dunfermline Athletic in the SF and replay at Tynecastle on April 1 (0-0, 31,930) and April 5 (0-1, 16,741).

  4. On 2 May 1981 5,762 people squeezed into Firs Park to see Dundee defeat East Stirlingshire 1-0 to secure promotion back to the Premier Division by having a goal difference of 4 more than St Johnstone. Hibs were top 5 points ahead. East Stirling finished 11th out of 14. I moved to Australia earlier that season, my last game was a 4-0 home win over Falkirk in September, the second last was a 2-2 draw after being 0-2 down v Berwick Rangers who had Dave Smith ex Aberdeen and a few other clubs playing for them. Also saw George Best playing for Hibs at Dens for the second time that month. In the days before internet I didn’t know the result of the East Stirling game until reading Monday morning’s paper.

    Lucky get. Its chucking it down in Sydney (and meant to for the next week) and I have no alcohol. Enjoy.

    You seem to have been getting a lot of rain, quite wet in Gosford last night. We’ve had Ta total of 12mm of rain in April with 5.0 and 5.4mm the highest and it only rained on 6 days, last being 20 April. We might get spit on Saturday but more chance between Tuesday and Thursday next week. Enough to drive you to drink. 🍻
