Auchterarder ..........

Lived there for a wee while - used to get picked up by United coaches when we were playing in the west (75-77). Dangerous place on Saturdays - especially when a proud Dundonian and Arab insisted on wearing the tangerine and black (during the week as well). Never did see eye to eye with the local OF zombies.

Great to see a thread that may have sunk without a trace going to 3 pages well done to the OP and the posters involved.

Thanks GB, Does anyone mind o yon knitting shop in King Str. beside the Dens Rd. steps? I got an orange+and black scarf made in the late 60s when we changed to the Tangerine strip, first time I wore it at a home match I got lots o interested looks, must have been one o the the first...PS i am 71......Happy days.

Yip , that shop was next to the bookshop that, ahem... "seemingly" sold hardcore nude books in brown paper bags, from under the counter.


Used to knit gang jumpers to order. The woman had to put them in bags that couldn't be seen through, so gang members not in the Hulltoon Hunz could discreetly nip oot and stand at the nearest bus stop (there were plenty) and hope their bus would be along ASAP to get them back to wherever they came from.

There was one in the Dens road market, and maybe one in the Lorne street one too.

59 & experienced a few run ins at Hibs. Cars being rocked by hibs fans. Mate hauled off his motorbike. Guys getting in the car & wanting to fight. That alley bridge was deadly. Also running battles on hill at aberdeen. Or coming out of Ibrox to a hail of bottles with not one cop in sight. Visiting tynecastle in winter & frozen piss from toilets at back of terracing over the standing areas. Tynecastle was a hell hole then. That tunnel you came through from turnstiles to terrace was something else. Early 80s on bus to glasgow for first time & being open mouthed at some of the areas we stopped at to let the older guys get a pint. An adventure every game. & taking hours & hours to get home pre motorway days

Talking of cars, I only remember buses parking here.

PS: Stokes car its third from the right, second row.
