to be honest, I actually preferred it before they did up the Celtic end and you could walk from the Jungle if it was too packed and go into the Celtic end - great nights there when we won the league in 79 and beat Real Madrid in 1980 :thumbsup:
When did the fence go up? Because I don't think I can really ever recall being able to walk right the way around.

Up until about early 1985 I went in the front stand with my uncle and his mates, then I moved onto the terracing.

I think the fence went up in 1984.

That old Celtic end roof (not the one in the picture) was rubbish though. It was made out of wafer biscuits and was so short that the wind blew the rain right back in at you.

Practically useless.
the fence went up in 86, I think; that's when new roof was put on.

I agree, the old Celtic end roof was low but that sort of made it claustrophobic and added to the atmosphere. If you stood at the very back, you sometimes struggled to see down the other end but I loved it.

I remember some of the worst crushes I've ever known trying to get out that end after games in the 70s.

And you can slag off the old board, at least they never got our own fans chucked out of a foreign ground :angry:

I always thought the fence went up fractionally earlier than the roof going on.

There's a picture on the wiki of the Celtic end with the old roof and the fence there, so if we split the difference and say it went up in 1985, I'd probably only have been going on the terracing for a matter of months before it went up, so it may be the case that I simply can't remember it NOT being there.

It is nearly 30 years ago after all. :rubeyes:

That fence was an act of vandalism designed to stop the young (ish ) noisy support from being able to all congregate in one place.
Safety issue of course.

Wouldn't happen now !

Was always more of a Celtic end man, than a jungle bhoy. Although, me my old man, uncles and pals would always refer to it as the West End terracing, I think it said that on our STs.

was this from the game in 81, where Charlie Nich got the winner and just about gave us the title?

and more importantly, why are the guys in the front row sitting down when everyone's signing YNWA? miserable gits or Deidco in disguise?
Was that the one when the Govan stand was being built? :ponder:

I was a kid at the time, and memory seriously fails me...

I always had it in my head that this was the 4-2 game in '83, but it can't be for a number of reasons.

The style of fashion in the crowd looks a bit too early for that, and the 4-2 game was blazing sunshine. This looks a wee bit overcast.

I just think it is somewhere between '81 and '82.
This pic is in Playing for Celtic No'? The front cover is from the same game at ipox Charlie Nic getting harrassed from a hun Colin Jackson?

Ah, the good auld days. Before I became a confirmed Celtic end man I would watch the fist half in the deidco end and walk through the jungle for the second half (in normal circumstances, of course).

If ever a player deserved a trophy that night.
I didn't come in this thread yesterday.

Thank God, because this picture would have put me over the edge.

Im sure the one when the Govan stand was being built was 79-80.
I remember the game where we drew 2-2 early on, and I think we came from 2-0 down with late goals from Sneddon and McAdam, and just seeing the bare open side across the park because we were in the enclosure under the main stand (when we used to get given that.)'
You could well be right, but I know that they did the Copeland and the free Broomloan first, and I don't thing they were much earlier than that.
Was Minty advertising at Ibrox as far back as 1981?
