Nowhereman Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Still holding out for a vinyl pressing of 'The Sons We're The Ones'. There must be such a thing. When the song was originally recorded in 1978 they played it at Boghead. So it must have been on vinyl. Probably only a white label as the song was never released. The record company realised that the market for a Dumbarton FC song was fairly restricted so it was rerecorded as 'Scotland Sons'. Basically the same but with slightly different lyrics. I do have one of those on vinyl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of those very light, plasticy records that you needed to place a coin on near the centre to weigh it down to play properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 did I read Midge Ure was involved with it? He wrote it. It's an alternate version of Hey Argentina, which i suspect was recorded for the World Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howlin' Wilf Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 He wrote it. It's an alternate version of Hey Argentina, which i suspect was recorded for the World Cup. He produced it and performed on it but he didn't write it. It was 'The Warrior' from the musical Ipi Tombi (performed above by Osibisa). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howlin' Wilf Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Here's a list of average attendances over recent years. Looks like we've lost support when you look at the second division average in 2003-04 when there weren't nearly so many away fans.

sons'r'us Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I would agree with that, i think we have lost support. Although that 2003/4 season saw an unlikely late promotion challenge and 2 large 1800 crowds against Morton who were going for a league title but had a late collapse. Hamilton accies were also in the league that season. I think our support was pretty decent then as we still had a bit of a feel good factor from moving to a new stadium and had attracted some new fans. When we got relegated back to 3rd we struggled to get the fans back and by that time there was no novelty factor with the stadium. Despite recent success we have failed to attract as many home fans that went back then which is a pity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottylintonstowel Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I notice that Brian Colvin, God bless him, almost caused a riot in his last ever game as a referee at hibs v QOS. He made an outlandish decision in the last minute to hand hibs the points. After years of incompetence can we be surprised . Watch the hibs game tonight on sport scene to see what the clown did. I reckon Dumbarton could earn an extra six points a season without him as we lost every game he refereed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
