also funny how a lot of stands had a wee bit round the corner..see pittodrie, tannadice and starks park

love this pic, someone has it on east football but it's original is mines, the old man worked in dc thomsons for 35 years and brought this home with others years ago...i posted it on utd mad donkeys ago

I have a feeling i may have stolen this picture along with one of Falcao getting a fitness test at Tannadice the night before the European Cup semi final v Roma.
Great pics btw lads keep them coming please, i kinda can't provide any which is a pity because i had some amazing snaps of Hampden before it was downsized

Hampden's Old entrance

And nowadays

What is it with the Glasgow/Strathclyde/Inverclyde/Lanarkshire theme to this thread?

Tek's (lovely looking man) photo aside -which is a bit of history and therefore game -it's all grounds from this area.

West Coast bias.

Cracking pictures LAO, the one of Easter Rd, the long side opposite the main stand looks like it has an upper terraced tier like the traditional Celtic end behind the goal at Hampden used to, if so it must have held some amount of people. I wonder what the record attendances were at all these old grounds including Third Lanarks?
Also check the scale of the old textile mill across from Dens Park it goes right up Isla Street to Main St and out of picture continues right down to St Salvador st where part of it still remains under the banner of Bonar Yarns/Textiles. This mammoth mill was connected by a tunnel beneath Main St believe it or not. The Snug must have been a busy pub every day then, not just match days.

looking at this pic again and noticed a few things...like st obby said the amount of people that worked in the bowbridge mill must have been huge considering that area...also both grounds must have been about on the outskirts of town when built...if you look north of dens there's no houses....they reckon that fleming gardens was the first housing scheme in Dundee...and the kingsway was built round Dundee...so not much more north of there bar a couple of villages at the time that got swallowed up as part of Dundee
