It was 3-2 to us at halftime. All our goals were scored into the sellick end.The 3-3 game was fantastic mate
I’m sure most of the goals were in the first half an hour ?
Paradise
There was less corrugated iron then than there is now!
In another life I used to shag a bird who lived in these houses.
Was talking to my lad about this the other day, it was brilliant when we were winning, shite when the bottles came down or someone pished on your legI was fortunate enough to have experienced the bedlam in that end in amongst 20,000 bears when we scored
Just wondering other older bears thoughts are on it
Hope it was just a pissWas told to do it where I was standing.
We used to get part of the jungle aptly named if you went for a piss in there you got pelted with bottles.
Remember before they developed the area for the commonwealth games. Sitting on a bench overlooking Springfield cross with our pre match carry out and as you said the place was full of bears. Changed days indeed.Loved every time I was there.
Taking over the whole Springfield cross.
Great days.
Brockville was brutal, didn’t see any fighting in fairnessThe piggery and Cappielow were the biggest shitholes in Scottish football. The amount of barneys post-match, especially near the flats, were unreal.
Its difficult to explain just what a dump the piggery was back then, tbh.
That you wi the blue tap on?Was there as a 15 year old
What a strike and the ensuing bedlam was fantastic
Looks like one of those mock villages we used to train in before we went to Northern Ireland.
I always maintain they made a different sound when they scored a goal compared to us.Could be the best place in the world to be or the worst. Have a vivid memory of seeing them score at the other end one time and you saw them bouncing a second before the roar hits you. A surreal experience but thankfully saw more victories than defeats.
My first visit to their shit pit, I was 12 years old.
Never forget that day,we were in the jungle,news was filtering through about Hillsborough.I genuinely feared the worst.The same day as The Hillsborough Disaster was the worst I'd experienced at that place and we weren't even playing the peasants.
Was it fowl play ?My bruv, my son and I went to a Glasgow Cup final at the mhankery in May 87, it was basically reduced to a reserve game. I think they won 2-1, with a Stuart Beattie own goal. (It could easily be the other way around)
Waiting to get in at the turnstiles, there was a dead bird hanging from some rails above the turnstile we were going into.
I loved it, was at most OF games there from 1980 until the stands were built. Slipped the guys at the turnstile couple of quid to a fiver and they’d just let you climb over. I think I done that 50% of the games I went too. Get past the cops. yer in.I was fortunate enough to have experienced the bedlam in that end in amongst 20,000 bears when we scored

The further up you got they started to cross over and knew what was coming coins and old milk bottles lol.Walking up London Rd from Bridgeton was great even better returning after a win .
The mhanks were at it with attendances, opposite from now, been there and you couldn't move. Tims would say 53000 were thereAn occasion never too be experienced again,Must have been in the shitpit half a dozen times before I knew their was a bog in the terracing,In the couple of seasons before Souness came attendance were dropping and it wasn’t a busy so there was room to move about and I discovered it by chance.
Frightening day. I was in a small crush before the game started whilst trying to run into the jungle from the west terracing. As a consequence I missed the worst crush when the wall collapsed and loads of bears ended up on the running track.The same day as The Hillsborough Disaster was the worst I'd experienced at that place and we weren't even playing the peasants.
Cup game, late 80s, Hurlock, Walters and Hateley sent off?Probably wildest memory when the polis tried to take a union flag off a guy (because it was on a cane) near the front bit of aggro started big surge towards the police thought it was going to kick off big time. Reminded me of my Dad telling me of the time the mounted police went into the Rangers end. Only time I never went on the supporters bus remember walking back into town getting to the Barras and the Rangers fans attacking a pub there then throwing anything they could get their hands on at their buses as they went through Glasgow Cross.
You must have been pretty near me in ‘94. I’m sure it was like a big old-school distress flare that you’d have on a boat!Some great memories , from our first win there in 9 years in 89 to the NY 94 game 3-0 in 20 minutes and the the first time I witnessed pyro at our games a guy next to me lit one up back of the Janfield end, what a day!
Yep a big orange one iircYou must have been pretty near me in ‘94. I’m sure it was like a big old-school distress flare that you’d have on a boat!
Your not far out I’m 61 was in the jungle at Glasgow cup final we won 3-1I’m 57 so maybe a whisker before my time when we stood in part of the jungle at an old firm gale
Always 60000.The mhanks were at it with attendances, opposite from now, been there and you couldn't move. Tims would say 53000 were there
Apart from the time when they said 53000Always 60000.
Horrible stadium and it still is!Has the pleasure of seeing a number of Rangers goals there, though never see us win there.
Always surprised that there was never a disaster there as it was a death trap due to overcrowding.
Well named the piggery, total sh’thole of a ground.

As soon as you passed the turnstilesAsking a copper where the toilet was,only to be told you were standing in it
Was that the game Bobby Russell opened the scoring.4-2 reverse May 1979….my brother was there.
