[Scottish Cup 1977 - Willie Mcleans Butchers]

150 coaches, you have to be joking.

 

Christ, it's like Seville on that thread, the numbers ranging from 10,000 to 18,000 and now 25,000

 

Must be some good smack on the go in Paisley tonight.

 

At the time, it was said there was officially 144 Coaches and our support was around 14000.

The attendance that day was never bettered since, while Fir Park had terracings.

We had 16500 in the previous round v The Arabs and most of them went tae Fir Park and watched us get butchered and cheated.

We are still hurting after the travesty of that game.

It needs to be exorcised on Saturday with a thumping win for us, The Paisley Buddies.

 

Do any of you remember the '77 Match ?

Aye, I can well imagine that Shull. My Airdrie supporting mate still longs for Broomfield and feels they've never been quite the same as a club since leaving it behind.

 

When he talks of their last game there he remembers it with a mixture of fondness - of old stalwarts gracing the turf one last time of winning their last game and going out in a high. Of mayhem with fans trying to grab what they could for souvenirs - he and his mates were spotted four hours after full-time walking down the street with a Diamonds Private Members Club advert board. But mostly of sadness, when the players had gone, the songs dried up, the stadium began to empty and grown men in tears not wanting to leave knowing that when they did it would be for the last time.

 

Makes me shudder thinking ahead if we ever have to move from Fir Park that's for sure!

 

Personal interest makes me want you have a stinker of a final day at Love Street when the dust settles I'll spare a thought for the Buds fans.

 

Cheers Andy !!!

 

All Saints Fans will miss the old dump.

Looking forward to this one now.

 

hopefully a full stadium with a right cracking atmosphere!

 

Lets get right behind the team, and sing them on to spoil the saints party!

 

 

Hope you all enjoy the occasion on Saturday.

Sadly, it wont be a party. Losing our Ground is a major wrench to us all.

For a lot of us, loads of great and bad memories over the decades.

It is going to be a very sad and emotional day.

 

First game at new Stadium will be a happier day.
