I will start the ball moving.

1-No singing prior to kick off. Anyone remember the full grange end chanting around 20 mins prior to kick off building up to fever pitch when the teams ran out.

2-That classic song "One man went to mow a meadow" Blue army group we need it back !!! :ayatollah:

The walls collapsing off the bar as you sip your pint! Made me laugh stood inside the bar behind the Bob Bank and all of a sudden the rotten wood gave up the ghost and the wall completely fell off......Ninian was a shithole but I still loved it! :ayatollah:

Sheep noises being played before kick off.
Walking through the car park seeing how many away fans were in the corner and listening to the city fans abuse them, then rushing in to get a place against the steel fence.

Leaning against the steel barriers!! Sitting on the wall before the fences were put up!! BANGING THE BOARD ON THE WALLS PITCH SIDE DURING THE GAME. Running on the pitch after the game (when it was allowed)! Nicking over the wall of the bob bank!!
Running on the pitch the seasons we were promoted.

Ninian Park,, god i miss that old . dirty crumbly place. what a great ground and atmosphere , it was just a very very special place ,will always be in my heart and mind. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

1. Singing "I was born under a Grange End Star
2. Ground only full of men (new ground brings more families, females and children there)
3. Eddie Johnson scoring :D

I used to love the football pink years ago, it was the only way to get the City match report and football results fresh off the press on a Saturday night, it was a great read.
