Don't understand why they got rid of all the trees going along Turnberry, looks quite nice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-70703228895412793922010-03-26T09:56:26.638-07:002010-03-26T09:56:26.638-07:00I worked for the scaffies in Ardler when I was a s...I worked for the scaffies in Ardler when I was a student in 1978. One morning, me and another student were "paper picking" round the shops in Ardler, when a gang of about 20 youths surrounded us. One of them uttered the immortal line "Which scheme you frae?". I don't think "The west end" would have gone down too well, and we were readying ourselves for a right good kicking when the gang (thankfully)buggered off.

I can remember in one game on the pitch nearest Macalpine Road chasing the ball down it after we won a corner, which I subsequently took. <br /><br />The ball was knocked behind for another corner, and I had to run down the hill and back up to take the next one. This happened again and by the time I took the fourth corner I was absolutely knackered and tripped as I reached the top of the slope and managed to stumble into the ball and knock it out for a goal kick! Didn't bother retrieving it for the opposition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
