5 videos uploaded to YouTube this morning all taken from news reports in 1993 about the merger. 

Huge thanks to Mantis for supplying the footage and to Charles Bannerman whose book Against All Odds helped with the wider context.

Trying to figure out where the apparent first proposed stadium site is...

Want to say its inbetween Clachnaharry and the ferry, but I'm not entirely sure.

Various options were looked at ....Stratton Lodge and where the uni is now. 

Caley tried to move previously. To the Carse, Bught and Charleston that I remember.

Chick Young is in the Carse where the new stadium was planned - between the trainline and where the existing industrial estate is.

So many memories... The one that gets me is the guy hiding his face coming out of the Rose street hall meeting - make me chuckle every time I see it.

When I wake up in the morning light,

I put on my tie and I feel alright,

I put my blue tie on,

I put my Caley tie on,

 

Oh, that Alan Douglas...

I am completely stunned to see that he is a glory hunting, knuckle dragging Rangers fan.
