Huddersfield Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 18 minutes ago, hoofitharder said: When my family moved to bradford we lived a few hundred yards from valley parade and i used to go along at half time when the gates opened i was hooked. My family moved to south bradford and although my uncle still took me to bradford city games the area i lived was a bradford (park avenue ) haunt so as i grew up i went to both not every week but as often as possible.when avenue went bust it was just city. I moved back to Dunfermline in the late 70s and followed the pars after about 3 seasons i moved back to bradford and followed city again untill the fire. It didnt feel the same after that so i stopped going. After a while i ground hopped a bit and in the mean time avenue reformed as a saturday team so i watched them occasionally but didnt go regularly untill they moved to the ground they play at now and they were playing in the northern premier league. Ian An old mate of mine from work goes to Bradford PA with his 2 young lads fairly often - he was born & bred in Islington & is die-hard Arsenal, so if you come across a bloke, late 50s with a strong London accent, say hello from me!

When I moved here there was no internet or computer. Had to listen on shortwave radio.🤤. Eventually the Ottawa Celtic Supporters Club formed and we started getting live Celtic matches in the early 90s. We subsribed through Setanta so we got Scotland matches as well. Funny thing was, the first old firm live match here was both Celtic and Sevco fans in the same pub as we only had one feed. That did not last long. We fuckin hated each other and went to our own local. Still fuckin hate them.😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnbruman Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Kirkintilloch Rob Roy since I was a nipper. Missed us winning the Junior Cup in 1962 as I was only 11 months and nobody took me. Saw us lose 2 junior cup finals - once in 1969 to Cambuslang Rangers and then in 1977 to Kilbirnie Ladeside. Didn't see many games from 1979 onwards as I played rugby for Lenzie and then moved to England in 1984. Came back up for any significant junior cup matches and go and watch when I'm back in Kirkintilloch. My dad has been on the committee for 40 odd years and was manager for 2 seasons in 1978-1980. Senior sides used to loan out their players and remember answering the phone to Jock Wallace and Davie Hay when they were Rangers and Celtic managers respectively. Used to have a brilliant social club at the old ground Adamslie with some cracking acts on there - eg Hector Nichol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both sets if supporters sitting in the same pub, few boozed up. What do you expect. My CSC welcomed any fan from any club..Never an issue. I agree with you Jim, but thats the way it is. In saying that, I can wear my Celtic top anywhere in Ottawa, dont know if I would di that in Glasgow..😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my supporters club is a wee "hate" cell. I have been to the Bramalea Celtic Club, it is a great club, full of proper supporters, not the.wee hate cells you so politely pointed out..Maybe thats how the 'rangers' operate, but not the Celtic Clubs I have been to.

Scotty CTA Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Both are insular. Used to go to both regulary for Aberdeen games (pre 'RedTV') but preferred the Rangers Club for the dogs abuse/banter. (The Celtic Club were definitely more welcoming to visitors.)

Went to the London (ontario) rangers club last year to watch Celtic v Sevco. My son was in a Basketball tourny. Treated like shite. Celtic scored and I jumped up and was told to shut the fuck up by 3 or 4 huns. Halftime I was told for my own safety, by the owner, I should leave. Did I fuck. I stayed the full 90 minutes. Walked out after the match smiling ear to ear. Kept my mouth shut, as I was on my own.. Not a great experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMcoolJ Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) My old boy died when I was very young and my mum wasn't into football in the slightest. Luckily, there was a young family next door and the father (who owned a very nice Chinese restaurant on Union St) was Dons daft. His daughter wasn't interested in going to games so he used to take me. I was always a Dons fan, having been born and brought up in Aberdeen, but thanks to my neighbour I started going to games when I was around 8. It was early 80's and it couldn't really have been a better time to start going to games! We always bought Mars Bars when arriving at the ground but could only eat them when the Dons scored. I never went home hungry. I used to wonder why we went to games in a different car almost every Saturday - ranging from massive BMW's to wee Honda Civics. Turns out my neighbour had a seat in the local Chinese gambling syndicate on a Friday night and things used to get quite serious! My neighbour died around 10 years ago but was always an absolutely top bloke. I still have a Mars Bar at the games. Unfortunately, I've had a few melt in my pocket recently!

Strange?? No..If you read my post..My son was is a basketball tournament in London, Ontario the same weekend Celtic played the huns..The london Sevco supporters club was the only pub that had the match in. So I put in my Celtic top and I went. I would never sit with a bunch if huns, but I wanted to see the match as I am a die hard Celtic man. Did not give a fuck were is was in, just wanted to see my Celtic pump them again, which we did.😊. Not strange at all fella.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just ridiculous Scots tend to find Scots when they first emigrate. Legions, Burns Nights, White Heather Clubs, dances/social nights, etc. They had to just go with what establishments there was at the time until they became more settled and were able to organise their own clubs.
