Blame Me Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 All these suggestions are great but equally shows that the club/ultras won't please everyone's tastes. Gauging reactions to different pre-match songs over the trial period might have been worthwhile but perhaps it was decided by both parties that "Local Hero" was the only candidate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was. I'd forgotten all about the Cozy Powell one, was a great song though. Another guy that died too soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seat in Row "I" that I was in was in the part nearest section C (the middle section). I think the row started at seat 19. I was 2 or 3 seats in. You must have been pretty much next to section C?? Just up and to the left of the directors box. Could see the 4 corners from my seat without standing up. Was a sweet spot in the stand. We must have passed each other for years. Oh I miss the place 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I miss the place Through the turnstile up the wee steps and into where the Bovrils were served and you were in another world. The smell of the Bovril and fags got you primed for what was to come. Always enjoyed coming out of there and up the 4 or 5 steps into the stand to get your first look at the crowd. If it was a big game, the place was jumping and the nerves started kicking in before you got to your seat. Happy days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 First game of the season for me tonight and owing to a slight hangover, I really cannot be arsed. Still, il go along if only to ensure I have heard the drum and am fully able to both complain about/praise it as the thread requires. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinatoon Bairn Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Appreciate I'm probably showing my age here but you need something to really get people off their seats at the start of games.. With this in mind my choice would be "Beethoven's Symphone No. 7" in A for a walkout song. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a big game, the place was jumping and the nerves started kicking in before you got to your seat. Happy days. These few steps as the pitch and terracing came into view and the noise hit you. Meeting the usual suspects in front and on either side as you made your way along the row to your seat. Had my brothers 1957 scarf, would take it off carefully and reverently folding it into the palm of my hand pronouncing 'Behold the holy relic' folk would be reaching out to touch it as I proffered to the faithful to touch. Remember the old guy that would come down from the back of the stand to the front a few times a game to lean over the wall and berate some individual shaking his fist at them promising all sorts of terrible retribution if he got his hands on them? It was more than that. Pints beforehand in the Royal Bar, walk down Hope Street, buy the programme from the seller outside the library, along the lane then into the stand. The slow shuffle at the end to get out the lane for the pub post game. So many small things that made it a special place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
