The 2002 game at Brockville that ftivano1 mentioned earlier, I remember walking to my car after the game followed by 3 or 4 young Falkirk urchins who were giving me the V's and the gerrit right up ye, yer teams ****e. My old dad didn't get to many away games but he came with me once to Bayview. This was well before the "new" Edinburgh City Bypass was built and you went via what I believe was called the Inner ring road. We got to the game nae bother as the route to the Forth Bridge was well signposted but coming back through Edinburgh was a different matter as I must have missed a turning. I told the old man to look out for Ring Road signs but he turned out to be a worse navigator than me. Luckily we spotted a Gibsons bus at a set of traffic lights which we followed to guide us out of Edinburgh.
Think I was at that Falkirk game. Didn’t Robbie Neilson get sent off that day ?
