In the eighties.It was up by 1982.When did the roof go on the terracing opposite the main stand at Tannadice?
Aye, I knew it was the 80s, mate. Just didn't know the exact year.In the eighties I think.
Between 1980 and 81, in place by 1982 season.Aye, I knew it was the 80s, mate. Just didn't know the exact year.
Think there was an unwritten rule that they had to move or they knew what would happenGot to the ground, it was pissing down and older Bears will remember there was only one covered terracing there, the bit behind the goal called “the Shed” and usually where the Dundee United young team stood. Not when the Bears were in town though, they were up the other end getting drowned while we stood nice and dry in “their” bit. Whether they had been chased away or just decided to stay out the way, I’m not sure.
They had their big drum flung into the KelvinA Republican Demo was run off the road/smashed that morning at Queens Park before it even started.
Many Bears in attendance before boarding their buses for Dundee.
Most would have been pished and wouldn't have felt a thing.The 'limbs' on that terracing looked totally mental.
Must have been a few injuries due to it!
Pola Cola !I don’t know if anybody remembers but before the roof went onto the terracing that ran along the side of the pitch,they had advertisements above that terrace and some bears were sitting on it,this was 15-20 ft above the terracing
You had to experience games like this to see what they were like I tell my sons what it was like in the Rangers end at Hampden back in the day crowd swaying clouds of dust when we scored but you actually have to be there to appreciate what it was like,great memoriesOne of the best games and atmosphere at any domestic match I've ever been at. Utter bedlam behind the goals at 4min 30. United 1 Rangers 2
The terracing that ran the length of Tannadice must have been the steepest in the SPL.
Fantastic times 14 year old going to games up and down the country with mates.You had to experience games like this to see what they were like I tell my sons what it was like in the Rangers end at Hampden back in the day crowd swaying clouds of dust when we scored but you actually have to be there to appreciate what it was like,great memories
It shows you in the clip fans sitting on the advertising at the back of the terracing.I don’t know if anybody remembers but before the roof went onto the terracing that ran along the side of the pitch,they had advertisements above that terrace and some bears were sitting on it,this was 15-20 ft above the terracing
If only we played as well as that right now!
I just watched it up to our second goal.It shows you in the clip fans sitting on the advertising at the back of the terracing.
Possibly the two most awesome goal celebrations ever filmed, at any ground in world football.One of the best games and atmosphere at any domestic match I've ever been at. Utter bedlam behind the goals at 4min 30. United 1 Rangers 2
I would do anything to have it back like that, it was brilliantPossibly the two most awesome goal celebrations ever filmed, at any ground in world football.
It's seems frightening looking back at it, but to be part of it was brilliant.
Walters shot off the bar and Ally scores from the rebound.saw some great league wins up there, but one of my favourites was a scottish cup replay up there, a midweek around 88-89, cracking game and super got the winner
When they put the roof up on the steep terracing,when you approached tannadice from the city ctr,as you got closer you could hear the bears singing and this was well before kick off.Possibly the two most awesome goal celebrations ever filmed, at any ground in world football.
