Grangemouth Bairn Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Looks like Partick’s plan for this season is to sign as many players with links to Sevco as possible and hope for the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How it ended for him at Falkirk can never taint the memories for me. Forza Houstie ! The Ginger God! The Ginger God ! not heard that for years.

Nedelko Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Was there not a life size cardboard cut out of PH dotting around at one point?I remember being on a supporters bus back from Morton, second last day of 13/14(?) where if we won, we went into the final day with a serious chance of promotion.We didn't winAnd then a guy got on the bus with a near life-size cut-out of Gary HoltAnd then someone else got on the bus and confronted him, shouting "THAT'S MY GARY HOLT, GET YER OWN GARY HOLT"Halcyon days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ! a time that has ' Gone with the wind ' The memory of what it was like at Brockville when in full voice with the support all worked up will gradually disappear as time marches on. Bearpit of a stadium that had no comparison in Scotland. If and when a 4th stand is built at that soulless barn of a stadium. Hope regulations allow for a standing area to capture just a bit of Brockville. Something along the lines of the enclosure in front of the stand at Brockville would do just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember going in there when I was about 15 and thought I was the bomb [emoji23].I also thought I was hard as f**k stood there. That said, it was the best part of the stadium for atmosphere. For actually watching the game it was hard to beat being up behind the goals, just down from the top pie stall. That was a glorious place to be on a hot day with a big crowd. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a glorious place to be on a hot day with a big crowd. Great memories of my time in the ground. As years went on migrated to the stand and the atmosphere was the same but different if you get my drift. No wonder it it was hated by the opposition. One voice in the stand could be heard all over the ground, the drumming of the feet above the opposition dressing room while the guys in the enclosure abused them through the window and banging the mesh in front. Goodness knows how the opposition manager got through his team talk. It was one big echo chamber and voted the most intimidating stand by some fanzine who's name I forget. But that's history ! we have got what we have got and have to make the most of it. The 4th stand has to be an innovative design with some fresh thinking eg 12 row deep 2 tier with hotel , sports complex etc behind. anyway that's years if a decade away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a glorious place to be on a hot day with a big crowd. I started as a wee 6 year old boy sitting in the stand with my Dad in 1972, used to sit and watch the choir longing for the days when I was old enough to go to games with my pals so I could go in there. These days duly arrived late 70's and I remained in the choir area for a good few years before moving to behind the goals at the Hope Street end and there I remained until they demolished the Old Lady. I absolutely loved the place, it was an absolute shithole but it was our shithole. All my best memories of watching the Bairns are there, TFS will never match them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Partick already in the loan market for players signing two from Rangers. One a back up keeper. Perhaps all not too rosy in the garden finance wise after their court battles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back up goalkeeper and a center back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
