Hmm, that saddens me. I can recall standing at love street end pre the new stand, Paisley Daily Express Stand (?) I think it was named.

Ah the memories, after the cup win it was interminable dog fights with bottom feeders until Tom Hendrie gave us a couple of seasons of excitement.

Love street years certainly not the glory years, yet there is a lingering romantic fondness for the place.

Was it the drink, the abuse, the lavvies, the Shoebox stand ?? More likely the wee Barrel and Cosmo, but hay hoh
