England v Ukraine. might be more interesting ? live on CH4
Come on now, you know fine well, TV licence or not, you'll be tuned into BBC Alibaba on Sunday afternoon cheering on the Accies as a Rovers win will mean we'll have won four and a half national trophies, further enhancing our status as Fife's most successful football club.

I sat in it with my Dad at the 79 League Cup final.
My main memory of the game is bottles of fizzy wine(I doubt it was champagne) being passed around when the late winner went in.
Despite getting the tickets from the club we were somehow surrounded by ‘the enemy’.Fergies first final with the Dons and later in the year they also lost to Utd in the same competition after a replay. After that he never lost in a final with the Dandies.
If you watch the footage from the two Aberdeen v Rangers Scottish Cup Finals from the early 80s you can see the big difference in the North terrace over the 12 month period.

Driving through for this one. Can anyone advise on any good spots to park (preferably free). I imagine the stadium car park will be out of bounds.
There's usually a decent amount of parking at the college, which is on the right as you head from the ground towards the town centre.
I'd imagine the stadium car park will be open, but I heard it's something like £4 a pop.

I'd forgot about the free kick it's the most nonchalant jog up and ping.
I was standing almost in line with Brewster as he shaped up to take it and have never been more convinced that a free kick was ending up in the net.

When was that stand knocked down?
Anyone on here ever sit in it?
Amazing that it looks bigger taller than the structure there now. Amazingly ugly structure. Not like the Archibald leitch beauties used to seeing from the early 20 20th century.
I love pictures of old Hampden.
I'm pretty sure it was demolished around 1982. I'm not 100% certain, but I think the last time it had punters in it was the Scotland v England game that year.

The question is...was that half-time or full-time?
I was reckoning on between the warm up and kick off.

I missed 3 of the goals, pie duty and the bog. Ok I like pies
How the hell did you manage that?
You could watch the game from the queue for the pie huts back then.
As for the bogs at the Links End, that was a case of in and out as quick as humanly possible. They blew the bookies' toilets at the start of the original Trainspotting out the water.

@Specky Ginger was the 6-0 gubbing of the Pars the last six goal winning game in the league?
I think we won 6-0 at Cliftonhill in a midweek game during the Bobby Wilson era.
Keith Wright and Paul Smith bagged a hat-trick each.

Is the bottom one from the 1977 South American tour?
Don't think I've seen Rough wearing red for Scotland before.
I'm not 100% sure, but it could well be.
I was guessing the opposition was either Brazil or Sweden which ties in with the 1977 tour.

He went to the school of Grealish Winging (I couldn’t think of a better word) by the looks of it. Get ball, hope for foul, fall over, hope whistle goes and repeat.
I was thinking the same.
All he was lacking was the hair band.

As much as I think letting under 12s in free is a good thing in principle, this is where it can cause an issue.
You can have adults buying their own tickets, getting an under 12s as well, then asking their neighbours if their kid wants to go. Kid decides he/ she doesn't fancy it, and the seat is left empty while someone else misses out.

Yes, there’s a bar in the KM stand mate.
Cheers.
But I plumped for the main stand

Brilliant effort - well done guys. Wonder if there is scope to make the main stand Raith only and just give Hamilton the North Stand ?
I'm sure I read an Accies fan saying that they'd sold some tickets for every section of the ground they were given, so I'd imagine that would be difficult.
Is there a fans bar at the ground likely to be open?
