Don't know if it's been mentioned before but it's an excellent book (you can skip by the Chick Young foreword). Supposed to be a Christmas present for my dad but I can't help flicking through it. I got a freebie 2 of the shots are mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daydream Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I picked up the Lifted Over The Turnstiles book from Waterstones this week which shows fantastic old pictures of all (almost) the old grounds, only a few I recognise from this thread.

Archie McSquackle Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Yeah, I think that makes an appearance somewhere in this thread. That picture and the one of the half built stand at Tannadice being used despite not having stairs make you realise that health and safety regulations have their place! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 It's quite a big book. Don't worry - I paid for it! Mind you, I had been talking to the sales assistant about it so he knew I was about to buy it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Is it still available anywhere?I got it in Waterstones last week. It looks as though it's out of stock online with Amazon and DC Thomson until they get another run in February. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of stock with Amazon, however the DC Thomson shop gives the impression it may be available next year.

Spirit of Barcelona Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Was given the lifted over the turnstiles book for Christmas and naturally, the way you do, went to the entry about my own team. ”Dundee United were formedin 1909 by the amalgamation of several well-established football clubs in the town “ No they weren’t....!

MacDonald Jardine Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I remember being in Tynecastle in 1989 for Scotland v Portugal, U16 World Cup Semi-Finals. Place was rammed- I'm sure that the crowd was given as 27,000 and Tynecastle's official capacity was something like 24,000! Tynecastle 's capacity was 27,000 then.It seemed like there were a lot more though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
