Must admit, don't really remember anything else other than where I sat ... just a lad on my first trip up Hibs Brae (St Clair St) having arrived back from canada, knowing nowt bowt sport bar Darryl Sittler and Guy Lafleur, and Bobby Clarke. We didn't have televisions where I lived until 1977 - guess things didn't change much when I got back to Leith !! Alas, almost thirty years later I'm back in the frozen north, and can only really live my football outings through the TV (50" plasma is on the ship arriving Sept - that Ecuador-Brazil game looked fantastic on my basic telly - Mrs Pond and I are gonna have problems I foresee, once a get that corker set up !!) and obviously lucky buggers like you. Thanks for providing the window for all of us to peer through ... which reminds me. Big crowd for the late 70’s against a non old firm team.

More than 20,000 there that day, more than double the regular attendance. I'm tempted to say it beats seeing Riquelme, Messi, et al....

I assume you are talking about the Easter road with the big old terrace ... I sat at the edge of the top section of the terracing with me feet dangling down to see Best once, when I was a naive lad, but I enjoyed many more games from the Dunbar Road end ... ;) ;) I did try and plug it … couple of mentions I believe.

Now we'll leave it to you. Why don't you go sing our praises? It might sound better coming from an impartial source. One thing? More folk at Fir Park that the Dunbar End? Maybe, but when you factor in the Shed, the West Stand and the big old terrace, it's a different story.... :-) Thanks pondwatching,

I know you gave the blog a wee plug on the GU website - maybe a bit of reinforcing is required. must say I'm a tad jealous. Saw three games in BA early last year at Independiente, Boca and River ... reminded me of the good old days back on the terraces of Firhill, Fir Park, Dens, the Dunbar Road End, etc, etc in the early eighties. Obviously there were a few more in attendance at Fir Park ;) Ahh, the good old days. keep up the good work guys … its a pity that more folks aren’t getting involved … I know you gave the blog a wee plug on the GU website – maybe a bit of reinforcing is required.
