yeah i never stood on the old Barclay...

sat in the city stand when i was a youngster, used to get in for free back then as my family worked for the club.

I remember walking down riverside road or King Street and being able to hear the fans in the stands, atleast an hour before kick off.

I was late for kick off the other week and couldn't hear a thing, FROM MORRISONS CARPARK!.

Its shocking!
