Especially the ones that were not big enough for a track round the pitch. Seems completely the wrong shape for watching a rectangular pitch. Curved ends are bigger, simple as that.

Andy_K_97 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) More Hampden spam for you. Here's the ground under a thick Glasgow snow in 1958 followed by some snaps from the 1960 European Cup Final.

Only five or so minutes of it were played in colour, they could only afford to have a short while not in black and whiteSent from my Moto G (4) using Pie and Bovril mobile app 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 There's some serious competitive faces in that bottom picture. Reading the newspaper bit on 'conditions' - the one who goes the 'farthest' in the SIX DAYS wins £500. Sounds epic. Got any pictures of the cheetah racing..? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
