Lifted Over The Turnstiles: Scotland's Football Grounds In The Black & White Era: 1

Product Information

We had a case recently whereby a boy was a bonafide Liverpool fan but he is now a fully-fledged Celtic supporter! He attended a Celtic game and then became a fan. He was talking to his teacher about 'we' when he spoke about Celtic. He is firmly in the Celtic camp now." East End Park also holds a curious place in British maritime history. Wood from RMS Mauretania, once the most celebrated ship in the British merchant fleet, was used to improve the east terracing in 1935. Dundee and Dundee United went into the last Derby of the 2015/16 season knowing that anything other than a United win would see the Tangerines relegated at the hands of their rivals. As we all know, it would end in a 2-1 victory for the Dee thanks to goals from Kosta Gadzhalov and an 93rd minute winner from local lad, Craig Wighton.

We get children coming across from Ireland, Europe and the south of England. They wouldn't have the chance to get to a game otherwise so that is basically why The Kano Foundations exists: to offer kids the opportunity to attend a football match and have that gameday experience. They entered the Scottish Football League Division Two in 1912, a relatively late date, and quite surprising as East End Park was recording attendances as high as any club outside Glasgow and Edinburgh in the first decade of the 20th Century.

More than just a forum...

To pull this all off on a regular basis speaks volumes about the volunteers, organisers and those who donate in other ways but also to their relationship with the club itself, who by all accounts help facilitate the days out where they can. The club itself is very accommodating with the kids. Celtic send over players at big moments for the foundation. The players love meeting the kids - Kyogo Furuhashi is the most popular guy. Then the kids will get safety instructions from the Kano Foundation group of matchday volunteers, who are amazing with them, and they talk them through what to do and what not to do in the stadium. Since then, all the money raised to take kids to Glasgow's east end for the experience of a lifetime has been generated through fundraisers or donations.

However, one of the great stadiums of Scottish football grew on the shores of the North Sea. In 1908 it was the last senior ground in Britain to cease giving free admission to women. I'm sure plenty of fans live locally enough and would gladly give up some time to help, I know I certainly would. During the Bonetti era, foreign signings were the norm at Dens Park but this was possibly the biggest transfer Dundee fans have ever witnessed in their time. With that ground threatened by the construction of a railway line, they moved to the second Hampden in 1884. This would go on to become Cathkin Park, home of Third Lanark. But Queen’s, the dominant force in Scottish football at the time, outgrew this too. When the land owners refused permission for further development the club again sought a new home.The runaway success of 2018’s best-selling Lifted Over The Turnstiles proved there are few things that stir the pride of a football fan more than photos of the most iconic buildings they have ever known – their club’s home ground. In 1903 the wonder of the age, the largest football stadium anywhere in the world, was unveiled. Hampden would retain that title until 1950. There is a 1930s, Art Decoish-looking, building in the pictures of Shawfield that I don’t remember from my only visit there and which I assume was demolished years ago. My favourite old ground, Firs Park, is shown in the days before that huge concrete wall was erected at one end to stop the ball going on to the access road to the retail park beside the ground; before, even, the office building that overlooked that end of the park in the 1970s. That other redolent relic, Cliftonhill, is shown lying in a natural bowl perfect for siting a football stadium. They get a Kano Foundation-branded goodie bag containing juice, crisps and a hat and a scarf to wear to the game. They sometimes get an art print as a souvenir too as a little extra at times as Geo Thomson, who does a lot of Celtic prints, does the artwork for us.

To celebrate the release of ‘Lifted Over The Turnstiles,’ DC Thomson have created an interactive timeline highlighting greatest and most memorable moments that have happened in Scottish Football. Lifted Over The Turnstiles Volumes 2 and 3 are, as former Scotland boss Craig Brown says in his foreword, “A photographic masterpiece.” The trouble is that when they test in the week there isn't as much load on the system so it won't show any problems. I'm on O2 and I can get a signal before the game whilst the stadium is quite empty but at half time I have no internet access at all which assume is due to the volume of people using the network. There are two different days that the kids get depending on whether it's a night game or a weekend game," Murray added. "During night games, the protocol is slightly different in that the kids get a voucher for a hot meal from the kiosks inside the ground before they attend the game. I’m wondering if someone might give me a recommendation who to ask about good pix of Ewood? Are there club enthusiasts, historians, old press or private photographers, archives, or other sources you might point me towards?Good morning again folks. Thank you for your attention to this, and thanks especially to I’m Red Till Dead for getting in touch. I must point out (though you will already know) that her work is of great value. I am very impressed. Dundee first make the list at 59 when the Dark Blues won the League Cup for the first time against Rangers 3-2 at Hampden. Interestingly, it was Dundee’s first ever win at the national stadium.
