The night of the Darlo 0 1 game was a case in point SSWas it 22k plus attendance . Was it Harry Kirk Darlos left winger ?What a night apart from the 0 1 result with what some say was a cross but I still say brill shot into Town End net ... Guttted
Was BB last man to score at BV ? Was it a cross or did he mean it ?
I think the old pop stand had a 10k capacity
Quote from: Filo on January 06, 2023, 06:53:04 pmI think the old pop stand had a 10k capacityThat sounds about right; and the old Rosso end was said to hold about 15000, which included the corner that stretched right round to the end of the pop stand.When you consider that the ground capacity was reputed to be around the 40000 mark, all of the above sounds feasible.
Me and BB have had this discussion a few times lolI give the bloke credit as he cut in from under that Telly box and loosed a cannon of a shot into one of top corners at Town End.I'm sure as well that Dutch Uncle remembered the goal being scored at Rosso end so it was good to out remember that excellent historianMaybe we need a PollShot MeCross BB
I was at the Darlo game. Their Left Winger Harry Kirk scored a flook goal at the Town End when a cross from the Pop Side sailed into the net. It Just shows how much the capacity was reduced when the new Pop Side replaced the old one in the picture, the new stand was built in front of where the old Pop Stand was!
Trying to approximately date the pic - do the adverts give any clues?It’s definitely later than Boxing Day 1975 as I distinctly recall sitting on that side wall, halfway up ish for part of the game, my first one.I reckon it’s early 80’s.?
