I and many others were there that day. He wasn't. He has no memories of Fergie's Furies. Toxic Titch from Arbroath has never supported St Mirren and never will. He loves to abuse, troll, bully and belittle St Mirren fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If memory served me right, FKI cut everything to the bone and it was a bad time for the workers in Renfrew. The trams were before my time when starting at the company. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tram lines were long gone in my time, but could have down with them on the Friday rush up to the pub, gulping down a stupid amount of drink, and rushing back. Quite how I, and many others, never had a serious accident is a miracle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Monster Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 I must have been up/down Porterfield Road hundreds of time in my 10 years working at "Babbies". The tram lines were long gone in my time, but could have down with them on the Friday rush up to the pub, gulping down a stupid amount of drink, and rushing back. Quite how I, and many others, never had a serious accident is a miracle. Couldn't find the film of the trams filling up and dispersing to the various destinations. Was on one of the Paisley Facebook pages, thought it was Paisley, oor wee toon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
