Aye, family stand was mixed. I was in the usual away stand that Burns lobbed the ball over the bar into. Following season we played there in the league at Easter on a midweek night. We had an even bigger support IIRC. Gus scored a screamer from about 30 yards in first 60 secs and we won 1-0! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've quoted you in the League One Sons Sorrow thread where it might pick up some traction. I was at this game sitting in the stand. I was only allowed to go to away games on my own in the early '70s on condition that I always avoided the terracing! I was in the stand for that one too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiepiemuncher Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 We're the same, I've sat in the same seat for all but one season (when I sat in Moffat after it opened) for almost 25 years. Before then it was where I stood in East Stand.I’m the same, I sit where I can see up the tunnel where the players come out. I used to stand on the east terrace at the same point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I've only been to Muirton once, and I think it was for a midweek game when the Pars were in Division 1 (early 90s maybe?). We must have a small section of the stand as my dad and I sat there (and in any wing of a main stand at away games as he had a dodgy back) but I distinctly remember being sent down the stairs into the enclosure or terracing for the half time tea and pie - only to bite into it and discover it was steak and kidney. Horrible. That sound likely to any Saints fans from that era? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Hmmm. Must have been late 80s then in that case. I'll have a look on Pars Database and see if I can find an exact date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible. That sound likely to any Saints fans from that era? I was 10 when we moved to McDiarmid, so don't remember if they had steak and kidney, but it sounds pretty unlikely. I do remember my dad complained about the pies once we moved stadiums, as he reckoned the ones at Muirton were from Murrays bakers (Perth's finest), but they got a new supplier at McDiarmid, and they were a bit shit. Anyway, in those days we had great crowds, but shit pies, now we have shit crowds but everyone loves the pies. We'll get the balance right one day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
