I also remember going to the junior supporters club in the room/bar outside the airlie street end turnstiles. Id of been about ten I reckon

Were you one of the FC fans hurling bricks down on the Rovers fans? The match when spectators were moved onto the sidelines to escape the morons. That really was a derby at the Boulevard you could all be proud of.

....and here's me believing for the last 33 years that it was rovers fans who started it.

Time playing tricks with your memory.

No, but I was stood in the corner of Threepenny and Gordon St watching your lot launching them.

Then watched Rovers fans indiscriminately attacking men women and children as they attempted to traverse the steps of Anlaby Road walkover.

In fact, me and a couple of mates even had the pleasure of being assaulted by your morons on North Bridge.

And that was four hours before kickoff, but thanks for asking!

funny that, even my old man remembers that game and how it was rovers 'supporters' throwing bricks. kr fans kicked out of the threpneys on many occasions and where stood at the top throwing at will.



sounds like you've just heard about what happened and made your own story up mate

How could we reign down bricks on top of the Rovers supporters when a) Threepenny was lower than Bunkers Hill and b) we had no bricks to throw in threepenny as they were on bunkers hill coincidentally where the rovers fans where located? Perhaps you should change your name to KeiththeThickHead?

Think my first visits to the Boulevard were79ish.

Was only a boy myself but vividly remember walking to a night game down Selby Street not long after the kung-fu artist had murdered the Hastie brothers.

The supporters behind us with black and white favours taken away by the police were KR supporters in disguise I suppose.

I'll have lifelong memories of The Boulevard.



Started in 1978 at the Airlie Street end, spent a few years in Threepenny and finished the last few seasons as a Gordon Street ender (alhtough switched ends at half time if ncecessary).



Don't miss the place at all though.

Later tonight, after the Euromillions draw, I'll be commissioning a new one.
