The Britain From Above website has a photo ref SFW020641 where you can see Ibrox Stadium in the background looking much like this. Photo claims to be 1928 but cant be as the "new" stand opened that year. Callum_Doon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A referee with a 'Mason' surname and from Burslem (if I make that out correctly)... Could surely only be be Jim Mason, played for Burslem Port Vale, before becoming a foremost referee - took charge of the 1909 FA Cup Final... (all from Wikipedia). Except, of course, our comparative dates are some years apart. Unless he came out of retirement to referee this game? Surely not the same guy - despite the compelling similarities - how old would he have been? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great memory mate .... I thought it was the press box but wasn't sure as I have never been there .... it was the desk type shelf that made me think that but as there are so many seats I was not sure if there were that many sports reporters back then .... there obviously was ....as we were as popular then as we are today and would have been just as newsworthy.

You can see the coloured seats in the Copland Rd Stand in the pic. I might have been at that Scotland V England schoolboys game. Was the first game I was allowed to go alone with my pals!
