LongTimeLurker Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Having the final live on STV is what killed off the 15,000+ crowds for the final, because neutrals stopped going. I guess the way attendances of 10,000+ for the semis eventually fizzled out as well suggests it would have happened with the final eventually as well, but you still have to wonder what might have been if it had stayed non-televised at Hampden for another decade or two.

The Mantis Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I was at the Penicuik semi v Ashfield and both final games. Anybody got the date of the replay? Edit - looks like it was played on the following Tuesday unless anybody knows otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw the attendance at Brockville was given as 6000 in the paper, although to me as a young lad it looked a lot more, even more so when I visited Brockville many more times.

garrellburn Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Btw the attendance at Brockville was given as 6000 in the paper, although to me as a young lad it looked a lot more, even more so when I visited Brockville many more times. As has been said, attendances really began to seriously decline from the mid sixties onwards, only five years earlier the Linlithgow Rose/ Kilsyth Rangers semi at Brockville had a 17300 crowd on a saturday evening. As I recall Linlithgow had not lost in any match during that season up till then.The only goal of the game came from Rose centre forward, Colin Grant, who went on to a successful senior career with Hibernian Kilsyth were handicapped on the day by a committee decision to drop the Cardwell brothers who had been scoring freely up till then, a case of personal differences eclipsing the interests of the club.

Larky55 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Was at Ibrox to watch Vics beat Ardossan. If I remember correct the game was played on a Friday night, Kirkie Lawson scored to give Vics a 1-0 victory. He went on to have a very successful career with Motherwell, & Falkirk.
