Gaz52 11,837 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Mentioned in a thread earlier on a guy from Drumchapel used to work the turnstiles at the Piggery and would let you in if you slipped in £20 There was a guy that done it in the West Enclosure as well for Old Firms Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyc06 6,915 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Ended up paying through the roof for the UEFA Cup Final for a ticket in the Zenit end! Being absoloutely fucked, I felt it best to pretend I didn't speak English & cover my Rangers top up in fear of getting turned away for being in the wrong end! Must have looked like a complete and utter mongo just not speaking especially when I ended up in the wrong tier & the guy was trying to sort it out! Due to me being a mute the steward went and got his boss who seemed to click on to what I was up to & said he would take over! Came clean with the guy & he was spot on! Said he was a Villa fan & would do anything following his team! Escorted round to the Rangers end and told to mill about for a bit then jump in at kick off! Told the steward in that area what I was up to aswell so I didn't get any hassle! One of two decent memories I have of the people of Manchester, the other being a copper who pulled me over whilst walking down the street with a can in one hand and a crate under my arm! Said he had to be seen to be doing something so got me to take a drink then pour the rest of the can out & to wait until he was out of sight before opening my next can Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze 14,530 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 35 yrs ago I "hurt" my ankle five minutes into a game at the piggery A gammy legged st Johns ambulance man gave it a rub better and deposited me into the hands of the local cuntsabulary who escorted me out the girodome for being in the wrong end.

William McBeath 2,154 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I wasn't lucky enough to be taken to games often so once I turned about 13 I used to pay my 20 pence on the subway and skip in. Never had the money to afford tickets so had no other choice. The east enclosure was my favourite place and once in you knew that was you for the full game. Sometimes in the stands stewards would notice that you've been told to move by the real owner of the seat and that would be you out. So I used to try the enclosure first. There was a wee recessed part on the wall just next to were the turnstiles were and for some reason it had a pipe running up it. So I'd just climb up that drop onto the wooden hut type turn style roofs jump down and run like fuck. Some times they would see you and attempt to chase but I was never caught. Wasn't until years later I realised that they were letting me go lol If I couldn't get in that way, usually due to coppers standing at the recess, I'd go to the Copland because it was my next favourite place to be. That was a simple run and slide under the turnstile. Arse would get stuck half way through which was perfect for having a quick look to see were stewards were before wriggling through completely. Sometimes I'd also ask people to let me grab the back of their legs and go through like that. I was always confused before I went to games because I would read about lift overs. Could never understand how you could remain hidden that way until I realised the turnstile operators must have been allowing that as well Another way if you were early was to sneak in through the side doors of the Copland with the food delivery and then hide in the toilet until the place got busy. There was box section tiles on the ceilings above the cubicles which could be removed and a gap between the wooden wall with the flush handle and the real wall that I could fit in without any problems. Got to laugh now as there was a lot of wires. This was my least favourite way because you had to wait like that for ages. Last time I skipped in I just told the cops my ticket was nicked because I couldn't get into the enclosure were my mates were that day because the prick was standing in my recess. Fuck knows what year it was but we fucked Dunfermline about 6-0 on the opening game of the season. I was getting to old to skip in by then but must have had about two season's worth of games for free by that point. That's why I usually buy my old man a ticket for games when I'm going now. Make up for the debt I owe the club. Often wonder if there was hundreds of us little scamps doing it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza1212 1,212 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hid in a garden for about 2 hours before the game ( I know ) then jumped the perimeter wall when people started coming through the turnstiles at the old rangers end at the piggery Will never forget John Brown jumping the hoardings after scoring our third in a 3-1 win and the place going fucking tonto so worth the wait.

Gaz52 11,837 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I used to get skipped in all the time from my uncles. I remember once at Hampden one was pulling me one way and the other was pulling me the other, I was stuck in the middle of the turnstile. The attendant rather than tell us to go out just told me to go back out and he'd let me back in - no ticket required. Just don't think you'd find people like that working a turnstile these days.

Moody Blue Legend 61,440 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Not so much underhanded. Our bus ended up with fake tickets for Pittodrie somehow about 30 years ago. Bus load going mental outside the old beach end and getting a bit nasty. Cops and stewards trying to keep a bit of calm, wasn't happening! They all disappeared through a door next to a turnstile and soon after a rolled up bunch of tickets got chucked over the wall for us. Fuck knows why the just didn't let us through the door!

murzo 7,446 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 My mate and his dad used to go to the piggery ticketless for Rangers games and his dad showed his police warrant card at the turnstile to get in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
