Stag Nation Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 On 18/08/2023 at 20:55, parsforlife said: Its not formal, it's simply anglicisation that occurred as they couldn't comprehend the idea of county's that didn't end in shire so they just forced it onto places that never were named as such, thankfully binned and being the glorious kingdom is the current naming, Indeed. Strange 19th century episode which also gave us Forfarshire, Haddingtonshire and Linlithgowshire. And Scotland became North Britain - not very popular. I recall reading that disgruntled post office employees would redirect any mail addressed to "N.B." to New Brunswick. It would take months to make its way to the intended recipient. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a copy... literally only 4 pages with p2 & p3 being a photo + teamlist for each side (not a scrap of text) and p4 being blank except heading "Autographs". So no clue about tie's significance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) What is apparently the last-ever football game on Ayr Dam Park tomorrow as Whitletts Victoria host St Rochs. Hosted some Ayr Utd games in LC in 1970s... reserves + friendlies more recently IIRC. EDIT: unusual fact - it also hosted Womens Champions League games in 2001-02, deputising for Toulouse after a fertiliser factory exploded .2001–02 UEFA Women's Cup - Wikipedia Were there ever any minor internationals held?

HibeeJibee Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) Tuesday 20th November 1923 EDIT: worth saying Quinn survived his ordeal, and went on to become head groundsman at Parkhead.
