I was there on the pitch doing vaults over the horse, with many other guys.I was part of it.
I had a blue T-Shirt with the BB badge in black in the middle of it.
I remember getting changed in a school near to Ibrox.
I think we might had done some gym stuff on the pitch but can’t be certain. My Mum and aunty were in the crowd. Great day.
I was there mate, my son is in the anchor boys. Well done to your boy, great achievement.My youngest was awarded his Queens Badge on Wednesday night, the last Queensman in 3rd Greenock.
True values completely missing in today's society. I was in the BB 22 years. An incredible organization for BOYS to develop into productive young adults, who understood the meaning of respect and work ethic. Also a great precursor to Freemasonry. Sadly as we witnessed the demise of these organizations (boy scouts in America now being called Scouting America for inclusion) the demise of society followed. I wonder why?"We're the boys of the 252!"

I hope your lad gates as much enjoyment out of it as mine has, he’s not missed a night since his first in the Junior Section 12 years ago, now more than ever with more and more use of technology youngsters need organisations like the BBs to gather and socialise.I was there mate, my son is in the anchor boys.
