Third Lanark

[Soul Finger]

Third Lanark are trying to get their old ground back.

Glasgow club that went bust in the 60s because of a dodgy chairman.

Enjoyed good support as they opposed sectarianism.

Their petition is here:

My wifes, fathers uncle played in goal for them well back in the day.

One of the most moving things I have ever heard is in the Scottish Football museam at Hampden Park. I saw it at the height of our own footballing wilderness. It was an audio clip from the late 60's of a Third Lanark fan. He ended up having to work on what became their last ever game. It was a very emotional plea to other fans to support your club as you never know when it could be your or their last game.

It would be amazing if they get this done, I am aware they have had youth set ups playing the past few years, would be great to see them with a 1st team squad again. I have an enamel Third Lanark badge somewhere, I must dig it out.

It is incredible the land has never been built on. Its so close to Hamden park.

Makes Withdean look like the Maracana stadium.

Makes Withdean look like the Maracana stadium.

If Withdean is the theatre of trees, Cathkin Park is is now the overgrown grand opera house of trees.

i love the way the terraces are virtually intact with crush barriers behind the trees. Shows how well it was built in the first place if its intact after nearly 50 years of no maintenance

Hosted a Scotland vs England international as well
