If you go to this link it will display the OS map and there's a slider to change the overlay between then and present day.

Anybody ever been refused service in a pub because they'd been to a funeral that day?
Happened to myself and a couple of mates last night.When Michelle ran The Anchor she didn't allow funeral parties, the thinking being that at least 1 person would get emotional and start a fight. Now that Nicky and Jo run the pub I don't know if that policy is still in force.

From memory in Upper Gallowhill we had Parducci's, Trento, Geordie and occasionally Walls.
That's also my recollection.
I mind one time my Dad had got a British Linen Bank £1 note as part of his wages. It was unusual in that it had a lot of blue in its design. He said "take it out to the van and if you get change of a fiver ill give you a pound."
Now I knew Geordie wouldn't be daft enough to fall for that and, even if he did, he'd pull me up on it next time he saw me so I suggested we waited till the Walls van came round.
Sure enough I got change of a fiver and I got my £1 which back in 1976 was a fortune.

I honestly can’t remember when Saints featured in an away televised League game that does not include playoff match against United.
The Cody Cooke hat-trick game at Dens was on BT Sport.
However, the last away game of ours broadcast by Sky? Now that's a headscratcher.

Got mine this morning, nice design and a snazzy wee wallet to fit it into.

Also, when the Stewart Gilmour board was still in place, didn't Captain Sensible claim to be the largest shareholder outwith the BoDs?

Does anyone know the rough breakdown of shareholdings in the club?
Smisa - 50.1%
kibble - 27.5%
Are there any other significant numbers in the remaining 22.4% or did all the big shareholders get their payout when SMISA/GLS purchased in 2016?
Gordon Scott retained some shares but I've no idea what percentage he has.

Why does the club need a CEO AND a GM?

I saw the highlights on twitter, the 1st goal was an OG from about 45 yards after 2 or 3 minutes and they never recovered.

Are we not talking about New Sneddon St?
Was Gillespies not in thru the pend at the start of the shops on Love St?
The pend in Love St was where they did the mechanical work. The showroom was in Glasgow Rd and is now a funeral director, Greggs, hairdressers and bookies.
