Sad days as insane Italian fascist loses his job. Paulo must be disappointed although I bet deep down he admired the swift, brutal action taken by an unaccountable dictator.

I'm just gonna post a new topic so every time I upload an Away Days episode you'll be able to see it on this specific topic other than the "New YouTube Series" one. So here is the latest episode (episode 3) at Aberdeen! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcJ64P1t5Nw

Definitely our best opportunity since last season!

I bet the sponsors love Morton right now

Come on Morton

Caley Stand burnt down in ? Thank you, Charles, for reminding me of that date because now I know I was 12 years old as I looked out the back upper windows of my former home at 46 Dunain Road and looked across Howden's nursery, wondering what on earth was going on there as the smoke billowed up and over the stand. Bobby Bolt-- Ah! Toothless Bobby , tanned to the max with sweat pouring down his bronzed face. His son, Bobby I think, also played a couple of games for the Caley but never seemed to make it big. And Rangers' Willie Woodburn, probably regarded as one of the dirtiest players in the League at that time. Eventually he was suspended Sine Die (for life) for a particularly vicious foul I suppose. I did see him once playing at Ibrox in the flesh so to speak and, yes, he did go for the man and most seemed to just crumple in a writhing heap because it was usually not expected. Aye, IHE , them were the days .Fond enough memories of a wee boy advancing into his teens and beyond. Left Inverness at about age 18 to do 2 years National Service and never returned to stay there. Never know what's ahead of you, do you?

Never feckin mind about attendances as they were less accurate in the olde days than those produced by Cellic and Tinkerville today. The Opening poster will undoubtedly appreciate that the packed houses in Sneck just oozed atmosphere and better than ever experienced in the SPL.

Even I can't remember that far back!! But I do remember Caley playing Rangers at the Clach part, in a testimonial for Bobby Bolt, round about 51/52. There were well over 10,000 there that day to see an extremely strong Rangers side, including George Young and Willie Woodburn, win 5-3.

Fantastic examples of "traditional" sheds there ........... thanks for that folks. It's a pity so called progress has enforced the demise of these gathering places. Sadly very few left now. There was something special about gathering with your mates and cheering your team from a covered terrace. In the late 70's-early 80's away days to Ayr, Kilmarnock, Accies, Airdrie, Partick, Dunfermline, Falkirk were always eagerly anticipated. The atmosphere was often intimidating but exciting at the same time. Several thousand vociferous youths supporting their team with real gusto, separated by a line of Cops or segregation fence ------- 90mins of noise.

He's checked it out and staying very close it would seem :-)
