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

Product Information

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.

I intend to thoroughly enjoy putting the book together. I enjoy talking about football in the old days and believe that not enough attention is given to how we, the supporters, experienced the game. When you hear tales of the great games, you get the views of the players, managers or journalists. But the views of the supporters are equally, perhaps even more, valid. Pittodrie holds a unique place in the history of football grounds. It was the first in the world to have dugouts. They were the invention of original-thinker Donald Colman, Aberdeen FC captain and later coach. Colman was a genius. He was interested in dancing and applied his knowledge of the way the human body moves to football. He paid great attention to the use of space and the footwork of his players to get into and create room for themselves. Jacob, from Belfast, met Stephen Welsh the day he became the 13,000th kid the Kano Foundation helped attend a match (Image: Kano Foundation) Tradition vs modernisation. It is an age-old argument but it warms the heart to see that there are some football traditions being upheld.Lifted Over The Turnstiles Volumes 2 and 3 are, as former Scotland boss Craig Brown says in his foreword, “A photographic masterpiece.”

Kids meeting the first-team players is a thrill, the Foundation is creating memories that last forever. It makes your whole week to see the expression on a kid's face when they see Celtic Park for the first time or get to meet one of their idols. It is a magical experience to see that." 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.

Catering to different ages and interests, our children’s magazine subscriptions include the iconic Beano and 110% Gaming! Similarly the kiosks could be tested at the same time, you don't need food or drinks to be actually sold, just to go through the motions would give a clearer indication of time to serve etc. There are also chapters focusing on aspects of football grounds that have been forgotten - dugouts, segregation divides and more.I am, of course, looking at all the big grounds and collecting tales from them all. I want to capture what it was like at the football (fitba, as I’d call it) when it was a lot less regulated than it is today. A lot different than it is today. You’d need to be into your 50s, of course, to remember this properly. Lifted Over The Turnstiles Volume 2 expands and improves upon the first book, showing grounds as they were meant to be experienced, full of supporters cheering their heroes on. 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. 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.

If it is a weekend game then we all meet at St Michael's Church hall in the Gallowgate and we provide lunch for the kids. I am sure you can imagine what it is like dealing with 150 kids at any one time in a church hall - it is absolute chaos. It is a wall of noise because they are having such a good time. 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. But while it holds fantastic memories for the Red Army of Dons supporters, time marches on and requirements change. It may soon be consigned to history as the club are close to a move to a new stadium. 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? 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.

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. 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. For magazine and newspaper subscriptions, we’ve got something for everyone at DC Thomson. Whether you're a fan of the short stories within The People's Friend, My Weekly, our outstanding magazine subscriptions are ideal for any regular reader. 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.
