Modernist Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 A sight for sore eyes. There was around a dozen kids playing Fitba across the park earlier. (Pather) At least 8 of them were wearing 'Claret and Amber. Brilliant to see. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthefringes Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Used to see that regularly as the road swings round the old Flemington Cross when EVERY kid wore the club colours when playing there. Shouldn't be unusual in the district... Following the two cheeks and media overkill have put paid to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, just maybe we are beginning to see the first signs of hope and some reward for the club's ambition to be a real community organisation. Enjoy yourselves on Sunday.

fatcalf Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I've seen signs over the last few years that Old Firm fans don't want their kids exposed to the bile, more and more they're bringing their kids to Fir Park and they're enjoying it enough to keep coming back. The displays in the East Stand and the upturn in atmosphere has certainly helped with that as well. Small steps as it hasn't boosted the attendances significantly but good to see nonetheless.
