I can remember, or at least have seen images showing firstly an advert on the roof that something along the lines of "half way down Robertson Street" on. The first SHEG advert that I can remember had something like "Go for Good Health and Get Fit for Life" on the roof. That was on it when the East Stand opened in 1991. "How Much Do you Cough Up for Cigarettes" was on it a few years after that. After the Cooper was built the Main Stand and East Stand both got new facias for a more consistent look across four stands so on the basis that the Cooper opened in 1995 I'd say the change of signage would have come in the aftermath of that. When exactly I couldn't say.

It's just the rough era I'm looking at so that's really helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Andy Lynch greeting at full time after scoring two own goals in a 3-0 defeat to the mighty Well. Celtic needed a win to secure the title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Dosser Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 For some reason I was in the enclosure in front of the main stand that night and almost grat myself, but that was because I was laughing so much at Andy's marvellous efforts. My only other visits there were for a Texaco Cup match (?) against Notts County and a game against The h**s when "Bomber" Brown deliberately drilled a hard clearance into the East stand. God knows what would have happened if he'd hit a wee kid. I was pretty disgusted by his behaviour that night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always in that enclosure beside the dugout when it was on right hand side coming out the tunnel. Met a lot of nice ladies in that area.

weeyin Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 I'm the opposite. Wasn't a big fan of that Admiral template for the home shirt - it felt like loads of teams were using it. Loved the change top, though, so swings and roundabouts I suppose. Remember a few great games under the Fir Park floodlights wearing that white kit (in the days when it was the home team that had to change).

underboyleheating Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 I have no recollection of this training shirt. A picture taken in August 1991 features Motherwell manager Tommy McLean wearing an unusual claret patterned, Admiral training shirt with some subtle sky blue trim on the collar and Admiral lettering. Too much like Hearts for my liking, however, I wonder if it was considered as a potential away shirt at the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, the shop to the left is now McDonald's, Claude Alexander was next to Woolworth's , the Horseshoe is to the right of the bus and it looks like the picture was taken from upstairs in what is now a Turkish barbers. The Post office was down from Claude Alexander and the best shop in Motherwell (Toytown) was above it, the second best shop (the Candy box) was directly across the road from the Post office, or at least that is the unbiased opinion of the seven year old me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Dosser Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Surprised to learn he's older than me . I think his football career was somewhat compromised by his attempts to keep his job in journalism going. He had a lot of natural ability. KEITH KEITH KEITH MACRAE!
