Wacky Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 4 hours ago, Salvo Montalbano said: Nah, it'll be folk taking their kids up for one last day out before the schools go back. Maybe not the carnival atmosphere that it could have been with some new signings and a cracking start to the season but don't anticipate any bother. If folk aren't happy with the club they just won't attend. I hope you’re right, but I think you underestimate the passion of some fans. If they see Cook or Meggle they may now be able to stop themselves, then the potential snow ball effect could kick off. Maybe I’m just getting very cynical in my dotage though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluegrass Bairn Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Hoping one of you chaps could settle a pub argument for us? Was there a time, maybe late 70's early 80's, when away fans were housed in the opposite end at EEP? I have vague memories of being behind the goals at what is now the NM stand, for a super-tense promotion decider between us; Falkirk needed to win, it ended up 1-1 due to a blunder by our gk. Would that be right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Still got an A) One of the older Pars fans should be able to confirm what end we were in. Edited August 8 by Reggie Perrin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 McBookie has Falkirk at EVS and us at 23/10 for the win. Says it all really. Home game as well for us. I've put a tenner on Falkirk -2. I fear an absolute hiding. A good result for us is keeping it below 3 goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A win for Falkirk would've indeed seen you up due to your superior goal difference.

Would that be right? Definitely in the early 70's, not a clue what score was, i was roughly 13 & definitely stood @ what is now the home end. Not sure if it was like brockville then that you could change ends @ halt time. I have only ever been to East End as a falkirk supporter so definitely no a random game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 The fact that your teenage backup goalkeeper has come down with an illness suggests you've entered some sort of Spinal Tap drummer dynamic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaton Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Has he? Thanks for letting us know. My interest in the club has dropped of late for some reason and I'm not up to date with current affairs. Likely Covid/flu since it's rife the now with few folk I know having symptoms. Hopefully more get it and the game is a bogey -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could change ends at half time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaton Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) When did the cage go in? Those were my earliest memories. John Watson scoring to go up and me being in the away end with east end rammed with pars fans both ends. I was on the pitch another game when I was young celebrating in front of the main stand. Was too young to remember what game it was but think it was all when Leishman brought us back up from the 2nd Div. I marched with the fans when he got sacked later as well.

I think it was the very early 80s. It was definitely there in the immediate pre-Leishman era when I was starting to go with my school pals and the crowds were sometimes around 600-700. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory was your equalising goal - and thus league winner - was right in front of us, on the (at the time) West terracing. The bit about changing ends is also vaguely familiar, however unlikely to ever be repeated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 One header in 85 minute at goal. Comrie playing left wing back. Nothing going forward. The players are trying and yes, the manager has not been backed but he can still get better out of these players. McPake and the rest need to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
