pete 2,499 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I have often talked about coming down the stairway as a young boy. this may give some idea on what it was like. This looks actually quite quiet I remember you could not move unless the crowd moved. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Looks scary. It was believe me especially as a young nipper where all you can see is the back of the person in front. You regularly heard shouts trying to stop people coming on to the stair to release some of the pressure 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,245 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 You either had to leave 5-10 minutes early,or wait 10-15 later to escape the crush,for me it was the latter as I hated missing anything that might happen on the pitch. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 5,856 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I have often talked about coming down the stairway as a young boy. this may give some idea on what it was like. This looks actually quite quiet I remember you could not move unless the crowd moved. Looking at that picture, you can clearly see the dog-leg at the bottom, required to align those leaving with the exit aperture. What you cannot see are the ten feet high railway sleepers piled to the right as we look, to funnel those departing to the exit. Further, once out, you had to dog-leg again to funnel on to Harrison Drive. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks actually quite quiet I remember you could not move unless the crowd moved. As the song goes ... thanks for the memories. You forget the sheer scale of those embankments and stairways. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 As much as the atmosphere in modern day football stadiums (possibly more to do with fans) is terrible I'm glad I started going to Ibrox when it was a lot safer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
