Steve Maskrey Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Arbroath is easily the coldest ground in Scotland.....even in the summer! Haven't been to Broadwood mind you.... Home and away games in the old second division in the 80's were braw! A good home crowd was 800! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver_blue Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Seeing guy who looked like John Pelosi with a wee black labrador at Muirton and at away gemmes at Stenhousemuir and wondering why Saints never won when I spotted them. Never saw them anywhere else, never have seen Saints win at Stenny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 When I hear Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge over troubled water" it reminds me of standing in Muirton when I was a kid. When I hear "Reach Out (I'll Be There)" by The Four Tops it reminds me of going to McDiarmid when I was younger. "Good afternoon, sports fans!"

SJC Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I love Cappielow- completely derelict ground which has marble effect flooring in the corridor underneath the away end- the worst bogs in Scottish football which flood whenever the urinals flush and a massive dilapidated warehouse which has full grown trees poking out from INSIDE it!

TheBigCheese Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I once had a bet with Stewart Duff about the size of a crowd at a Saints v. Hibs game (the one in about '99-'00 that was abandoned at half-time). I was right, he never ponied up the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
