Great initiative from the club for Friday night and the fans were loud and proud until the hoofball kicked in and pissed everybody off.
Whoever furthered the initiative by connecting our past with our present - absolutely superb, well done indeed.
I'm totally gutted Willie Paul missed the photo call though - what was he playing at? Ha-ha, probably away putting in a shift down the Clydeside.
The banner's surely a great excuse for another wee visit to Niall's place! ptearlyyears.net 1888-89
Anyway, well done everybody. The banner says it all really.
