backwaters 9 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Used to go with my dad the adults stood up the terracing and the kids we sent down to the white wall trackside to watch the game saw George Young play way back in the day.

LochendBilly 8,413 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I loved it and still get the excited feeling to this day when I see Ibrox. Nothing comes close. Fond memories of the way it was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One game v Hibs they were clamping down on lifting kids over the turnstiles. My old man was told he couldnt lift me so he went in and told me to go to the boys gate. As I got to the front of the queue they shut the gates. Got locked out and had to stand outside until the game was over. We won 3-0 or 3-1 I think. 80,000+ at that game.

ZZed 4,510 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 How could the police manage the crowds then but can't now? If we ever got back to a 80,000 stadium again what would they do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Late 60's, European nights and some Saturdays, parking up on Helen Street and walking down to the game with my dad, the atmosphere and crowds building all the way to the stadium. 1972 ECWC semi-final was a night that I actually felt the whole stadium shake, it was before we bounced!! The cacophony of sound that evening and the buzz cannot adequately be put into words, certainly not by me, but it was the best I can remember and that is out of hundreds of visits.  We were in 'the Derry' at the corner of the old centenary stand, good memories but times move on and those days will never return and nor will the days when Glasgow had two >100k stadiums and one capable of >90k, changed days indeed.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerxst 99 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 First game sat in the centenary stand against Aberdeen , a 1-0 win a late penalty by Alex Miller .Just under 19000 there, but as an 11 year old my"" memory was Arthur Graham was on the touchline and a fan shout "HAW GRAHAM YOU MITHERS A NUN" Used to think Ibrox was huge but compare to today it dwarfs the old one as it's about twice the height . Think the back seat copland/broom is closer than the front standing behind the goals at old Ibrox Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the police back then weren't pencil pushing cowards and could actually do the job they were hired to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
