Parkhead used to be bad for crushing, from what I can recall.  

 

I used to love places like Brockville and Firhill because if you stood next to no man's land, you could see the whites of their eyes and occasionally get whatever bit of pie that had made it through the fences right on the bonce.  😃

Biggest crowd I witnessed at Brockville was a Junior Scottish Cup semi-final early 80s. So busy people sitting all around trackside. Bo'ness v Pollock (IIRC -on a Friday night).

 

Also went to Falkirk v DAFC game there just after Souness took over as our manager as they were selling Falkirk v Rangers cup tie tickets inside the ground. Big crowd at kick-off, but most left early (assuming Rangers fans)! This was before the FFC v DAFC rivalry and Tom Forsyth was the DAFC manager. 

 

Another memory is going there one winters day when our game away to Motherwell was a late call off. Falkirk were playing Hibs who had a very big and vocal support that day. However, must have been around 10 local RSC buses turned up giving Rangers the 2nd biggest support of the day! Was quite tasty after the game. 

 

Miko's debut was at Brockville and he attempted to score from the half-way line and sure Peter Haustra's (sp) last game for us was there and he scored a brace including a late winner.

 

It was a poky wee ground, with the enclosure usually split 50/50, the wee cow shed at the train track side and a weird shaped stand due to the railway.

 

Now a Morrisons.

My favourite Brockville memory was Huistra's last match.  Think we won 3-2 and had an adidas red strip with black sttipes on - 94/95.  

 

Different times.  🙂
