Old ER - model

[The Hibby Pirate]

There was a thread on here a wee while back about the model of Easter Road (from around the 60's) that was on display at the AGM. I'm sure someone mentioned that it was possible to order replicas of this model. If so, can anyone either repost that info, or point me to where it was previously discussed (I've had a look, but been unsuccessful

I'd have it with the pitch the right size for Subbuteo. That'd be a pretty impressive thing to show off to your mates!!

Hibs one appears to have been commissioned by the Club.
Cathkin Park (Third Lanark) is open to offers though.

What a work of art! I wonder if the "slope" was built into it?

If you mean that Third Lanark played in Lanark, I think I can hear the collective gasp of fury from the Hi-Hi supporters from here. Third Lanark is short for "3rd Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers" which was an army regiment based in Glasgow. Presumably drawn from Lanarkshire. They became an established athletics and football club in their own right. They played at Cathkin Park, also known as Second Hampden (they took over after Queens Park FC lef). Hibs probably won their Scottish Cup their IIRC.

Ooops sorry HJ didn't see your earlier post.

It's another of these football myths that Third Lanark went bankrupt

they didn't they were deliberately run into the ground by the crook (long deid) who ran them at the time as he wanted to sell off the land.

The Scottish Cup final of 1887 Hibs 2 Dunbarton 1 was played at the second Hampden Park and not Cathkin Park and the crowd was 10,000.

The year before Queens Park beat Renton 3-1 (7,000 crowd) which was the last final held at Cathkin Park.

walked past cathkin park for the scotland georgia match but its where all the junkies and alkies hang about now

[Cantona]

Its quite a strange place to visit. You can stand on the terrace and let your mind wander. Think about all the ghosts of the past who have stood there before you and all the games the old ground must have seen.

Cathkin Park is a municipal park in Glasgow, Scotland. It formerly contained a football stadium under the ownership of what used to be two of the giants of the Scottish game, known first as (Second) Hampden Park under Queen's Park and then renamed (New) Cathkin Park under Third Lanark. After their demise through financial mismanagement and alleged embezzlement in 1967, the stadium that had played host to organised football since 1884 fell into disrepair. Previously, Third Lanark played at (First) Cathkin Park which held two internationals, the first on March 15 1884, Scotland versus England, the first all ticket match ever.

Spot on Sam.
Furthermore I'd add that 3rd Lanark were basically murdered from within by a crook of a chairman called Bill Hiddelston. 3rd Lanark beat Hibs 6-1 on the last game of the season in 1961 and scored over 100 goals and finished third in the Scottish top division. Yet 6 years later they were wound up in the High Court and disappeared forever.
An utterly disgraceful and shameful way for a great club to finish up.

Here's a link to their website - check out some of these scores!!

The Hibernian romantic in me would love to see them back up and running as a proper senior football club at the now eerie Cathkin Park again one day.

Posted these before but any old excuse will do to post again......

I love wandering about Cathkin.

My uncle, a Hun, refused to attend my parents' wedding as Hibs were at home to Third Lanark that day and he said it was the best game on the football calendar at the time. Fortunately the game was fogged off and he went to the wedding (I hasten to add I wasn't there).
