Yeah cheers mate. It's Cappielow Park home of Greenock Morton. Looks like the 1960s and Cappielow actually hasn't changed that much, since that picture was taken, honestly !

 Big cBig crane still in background !

Recent pics show it hasn't changed that much since photo shown above and by Boyne on previous page was taken !!

Great to see the old and new pictures of Cappielow. As you say, it hasn't changed much. Got me thinking: how many grounds haven't changed much if at all since being built?

It'd surely have to be clubs in the lower divisions and who have been in the lower divisions since before The Taylor Report of 1989/90 ish.

I agree, it would be clubs in the lower reaches. A few clubs have kept some of the original stands with alterations. Off the top of my head I can think of the Main Stand at Ibrox and parts of Villa Park. At Stamford Bridge is part of the old Shed Wall.

I think you're right judging by the hat the lady is wearing. Great bunnets being worn by the men!

 A very good St Etienne side of the mid - late 1970s.

  I wonder, if this the most controversial single moment in a World Cup Final ?

Geoff Hurst's second goal...

In the final I’d say most definitely. In the tournament maybe the hand of god.

 

Nowadays goal line technology would have sorted the Hurst goal however not so sure if VAR would have seen the handball!!!

Yeah good shouts for both of them.

 

 

Would VAR have seen this ? 

Oct 1977 at Anfield Wales v Scotland World World Cup Qualifier.

Score was 0-0 and ref gave a penalty to Scotland...

They scored and went on to win 2-0.

I still reckon some Welsh supporters thought justice was done in Argentina, when Peru beat Scotland 3-1.

Then Iran held them to a 1-1 draw.

 Spain, World Cup 1982 and Brazil are just about to show Scotland how big a gulf there was between the two teams.

It was 4-1, going on 7-1.

 4th October 2014
Newcastle United fans thought of a novel way of protesting against their manager, Alan Pardew, on an away-day Premier League visit to Swansea City. They unveiled an apt banner  - 'Not a Welsh town, our form in 2014' - which detailed their poor playing form in 2014, mainly Ls and Ds. It proved to be an immediate hit with the media although a few newspapers did spend far too long listing all the Welsh towns that don't have a vowel in their name! For the record it was another D that day (2-2) while Pardew stayed in the job for another 3 months before deciding that a move to Crystal Palace would benefit his career.

And more recently Thierry Henry handled the ball when France played the Republic of Ireland in 2009.
