microdave Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I got 10/10 but was disappointed there was no Boghead! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) 9/10 as I got Pittodrie wrong. I thought it was all seater (Or bencher) from the 80s, so when I saw terrace, I thought "can't be Pittodrie". My favourite out of that lot was Rugby Park, really liked watching football there. Also, like @microdave, disappointed at the lack of Boghead. Edited September 15, 2020 by Boghead ranter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP_81 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 8/10 caught out by a couple of sneaky ones. That quiz but with much more questions would be great! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 9/10 - was convinced the photo of Easter Road was showing the main stand at East End. Will take that considering the only one I’d been to pre-revamp/demolishing was Love Street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline Don Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 That reminded me of the Bill Shankly quote: "If Everton were playing at the bottom of the garden, I'd pull the curtains."Is the Oak Stand not at Luton. You practically walk through someone’s back garden to get to it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Don't know if this has been covered yet on here but is there still grounds around Scotland with houses that have a full or partial view of the pitch? Can't think of any in the Premiership as the stands would block a view and a lot of the newer stadiums are built away from housing estates now a days. Below, Grant Street Park home of Clachnacuddin showing the hospitality boxes running both sides of the pitch. Station Park, Nairn Last time I was there some kids spent most of the first half of a Clach v Huntly game bouncing up and down on a trampoline in their garden. They probably saw a second of the game every 3 seconds or so and I did spend a bit of time wondering if they were trying to see the game or just playing and they weren't even looking towards the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbytiler Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Licensing hours were 24 hours. I ended up in allison st till I got the bus to my work in killie . Massive mistake. Square posts ..... the French have never forgiven Hampden for its square posts due to St Etienne losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich in the 1976 European Cup Final. Twice the French hit the woodwork and twice the ball came back out, they always reckoned they would have scored with round posts. It was such a big thing with St Etienne they even bought the old Hampden square posts for their museum - see BBC article .... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/24501627 Those posts really are burned into the French psyche - 7 years ago I was in a joint venture with a French company and on the day of the first meeting the French manager said to me ...."you are from Scotland? I'll never forget those damned square posts, it lost us the European Cup". I said to him that I was at that game. Wasn't a bad week really, saw the Rolling Stones at the Apollo on the Tuesday night, then the European Cup final on the Wednesday night - Glasgow extended its licensing hours specially for the French/German fans in the city on the Wednesday night (closing time in those days was something like 10pm and it was extended to 1 am IIRC) ..... Thursday was dreadful .... hangover from hell .... [emoji53] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine someone applying for planning permission to do that now?! Luton's ground always struck me as a strange set up. The side of the ground opposite the camera position was all executive boxes but it looked like a row or shops .I've passed by a couple of time when down there for work and it really is crammed in amongst the houses. I believe Luton have plans to move to a new ground before too long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbrucerick Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) I cannot see Kenilworth Road on the telly and not think of the footage of the riot there. Vividly remember a guy in a white ski jacket chucking anything he could get his hands on at the police. Ps. I think that is the executive box side in the background.

Ken Fitlike Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Just to illustrate how boxed in Luton’s ground is. Which Scottish ground is nearest to being in such density of housing?Tynecastle, possibly..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
