In that case it might be earlier than the early 60s. Unless there is a annotation on the original photo I guess... |

Is that the 1983 LCF? That was a miserable day weather-wise. As bleak, dark, wet and cold as I can recall in Glasgow. |

Truly pissed it down that day, should have been well out of sight in the first half alone, Bett scored early doors in the 2nd half which made it a wee bit Don't think I've stood in worse weather to watch a game, edit: video clip of game... Edited by Twisted Steel, 30 Jun 2013, 04:55 PM.

Was also standing in the Celtic end that game and yes it was pouring that day and there was no north enclosure that game due to renovation ie concreting the terracing.2 -0 up at half time and it total control I really thought we were going to score a barrow load that game.Up to christmas we played some of the bet ootball I've seen Cltic pay and yet ended up jut winning the league cup.The huns were relly bad in the early '80's and it's one of my disappointments that we never really hammered them at that time a thy really were there for the taking. |

We did have a few games where we totally handed them their @rses though. I'm thinking of the 4-2 later on that season. I think it was more the consistent inevitability that we'd win that broke them over that period. They were so bad, and it was the years when I really started going to games regularly, that I just thought that it was the way of things. Not for a moment did I even imagine the 90s happening, or indeed the period we are in just now, |

Just for interest heres a wee run down of the changing face of celtic park since 1892 at a glance. The pavillion went up in 1892, was damaged by fire in 1904 but repaired, then burned to the ground in 1929 and never replaced. The janefield street stand went up in 1892, the roof blew off in a storm in 1894, and the stand was burned to the ground in 1904, the same fire which damaged the pavillion and would have raised cp to the ground if there was a southernly wind. The stand was replaced by a terrace in 1909 and the roof had two arches either side of centre. The five year gap saw that end used as a reserve terracing. The delay in building the roof was due to a wragle with the cooncil who claimed they owned a two foot stretch along london rd which would have cut the capacity of the new terrace/stand by 1000. Willie maley thought the fire was suspicious and commented on it coming after a big game. The big game was the scotland v england match held at cp for the last time just a few weeks earlier. Ibrox was out for holding big internationals after the first disaster there in 1902 when it held the scotland v england game. Competition between cp and hampden to host the big international was fierce. Cp had hosted tje match in 1894, 1896, 1898 and 1900 but the new hampden was opened in 1903 and was big enough to hold the international. Due to our record of hosting the match we got the 1904 game but the fire a few weeks later, the delay in rebuilding the north side due to the wrangle added to the quick expansion of new hampden meant that we lost that battle to host big internationals. The new roofed terrace lasted from 1904 to 1929 when another fire damaged cp with the pavlllion razed to the ground and the arched roof of the janefield st terrace damaged and replaced by the hayshed nicknamed roof. This roof remained in place from 1929 to 1966 when the new jungle roof went up. This lasted 28 years unt the revolution in 94. Maon stand side the story goes that no stand was built there originally in 1892 as time had to be given for the land to settle on the east side main stand side where a huge crater filled with water lay there when the ground was a disused coup before we built the ground. A terrace and a press box lay on the main stand side until the grant stand, paid for by director james grant went up in november 1899. It was almost a stand on stilts with a terrace in front. This was taken down in 1929 and repaced by the main stand which la sted until 1971 when the current maint stand repaced it in fact it was just the roof and the seating that was replaced, it wasnt demolished and rebuilt. Nb anyone who sits in the main stand can claim to be in the only part of cp that has been there since 1892 as that part of the ground although newly terraced and seated ibasically hasnt changed. Firstly the grant stand stood above it, then the main stand, 1 and 2 but both incorporated the same terracing/seating. The roof in the rangers end went up in 1968 and lasted until the revolution in 94. Floodlights went in in 1959. The half roof went up in the celltic end went up in 1957 and was repaced by the full roof in 1986 and lasted less than 10 years. A cinder cycle track and running track were built in 1892 and a cement ctcle track replaced it in 1898 but was removed in 1915 adding 20, 000 to the capacity of cp. Iron rails went up around the track for the 1898 international and were taken down in 1913. Edited by CelticIreland, 1 Jul 2013, 12:31 AM.
