[Travelling to Ibrox via Partick in the seventies. (Govan Ferry ?)]

Tannerall thanks for your posts :-) :-) :-) although I lived on cloberhill rd I used to hang about the Lincoln flats :-) I also knew a lot of the culbin and yoker boys :-) so our paths must have crossed at some point ?,,,,,,,Stephen.

[Travelling to Ibrox via Partick in the seventies. (Govan Ferry ?)]

In my teen years (70s) I lived in Knightswood. In those days to get to the game we'd either get the bus or the train down to Partick. Then we had three choices.

First was the subway. Best trip I had on the subway was the night we beat Bayern 2-0 in the ECWC semi-final, after the game straight over to Merkland Street then in to the pub with my Dad just in time to see the cellic lose to Inter Milan on penalty kicks.

Second option was the Glasgow Tunnel pedestrian walkway. Used that only when we had time to walk all the way home, which was not often. Got caught up in fights or chased by tims a few times too as you had to go through the more cellic minded areas on the way.

Third was the Govan/Kelvinhaugh Ferry. My favourite.

We occasionly took the ferry on the way to the game. After the game if the Copland Road subway was too busy we'd carry on walking to the Govan ferry. There were usually a couple of hundred fans queuing already so the banter and singing was usually good.There were usually 2 or 3 coppers stationed there after games, but we knew they were good bluenoses in those days, so the banter back and forward with them was fun, usually of the "Hey Officer Dibble, Top Cat calling" type of stuff. Can't remember how many passengers that wee ferry could hold, but I'm sure it was around a hundred all crammed on.

Anyone else have good memories travelling from the north side to Ibrox and back on the subway, tunnel, or especially the Govan Ferry ?

Hi tannerall :-) great memories I had forgotten about going to the games on that old ferry,,,is it still running ? Like you I lived in Knightswood in my early teens and before :-) And like you I would get the blue train at westerton station or get the number 16 or 33 buses into Patrick and then have the same 3 choices :-) I especially loved the old ferry way, I liked the sea hehe. You could have been on the same tube as me at the Bayern CWC game ??? I love bringing back these old memories don't you ? God bless Stephen Reid,,,,,,bye the way I lived on Cloberhill Road........:-) :-) :-) .

[What Was The Reaction To McLeish's Appointment?]

I think big Eck should have been given more time when he was our manager :-) I don't know about the rest of you but I think he would do a great job for us just now :-) he would certainly be much more able to motivate some of the imposters in our team, and would give some of the good youngsters a chance,,,,IMO Any new manager we brought in would be a million times better than what we've got just now,,,don't get me wrong Ally is still a legend :-) but I'm afraid as a manager he just hasn't got it,,,,you would need to be blind not to know that ? The dross we have to watch has no place at the Mighty Glasgow Rangers F.C.,,,,WE deserve better than that. I would take big Eck back in a minute,,,I'm sorry Ally but there is no room for sentimentality in football,,especially at The Rangers. W.A.T.P.
