Got to laugh at that Glasgow Evening Times report on Third Lanark with the usual corrupt mainstream media attempt to make out that Glasgow Rangers didn't suffer the same fate as Third Lanark - contrary to what this crap rag says Rangers did go straight to bust as was reported in all of maintream media at the time and then after a bunch of crooks bought the assets of the club Rangers that is still being liquidated as I write this they gave their new team a similar name to the old one and have been passing that off as the old Rangers ever since and the corrupt SFA/SPFL and mainstream media have been going along with this scam ever since as they need this PRETEND original Rangers and their mug fans who think that it is still the same club because it is all to do with MONEY and nothing to do with sport as it is bad enough them trying to sell crap Scottish football to TV etc Sponsors and they need a Celtic and "Rangers" to do so even though it is these two teams that have totally destroyed Scottish football where most of their fans do not support their local teams but support these two teams depending on what school they went to or church that they do not bother attending as well. This is why myself and most of the Scottish population do not watch or follow Scottish football any more with only around 150,000 people in total attending all of the Scottish football league matches in total every week and yet football, fans in this country think that football is important when over 5 million people do not bother with it.

Would love to visit the place but more importantly I'd love to hear a full album of Coldplay songs played on a bagpipe

I would also recommend reading the excellent book 'The Ghosts of Cathkin Park' by Michael McEwan.

Not see any neds on your travels

Fascinating video but that article you link to is really poor. George Young was the manager in question, not Willie Young ( who is either an ex-referee or former Aberdeen, Spurs & Arsenal star). And the writer can't even spell Shankly's surname correctly. Or Hiddelston's. Managers are poorly researched. Of the three mentioned only Young quit over Hiddelston. Evans left at the end of 1964-65 to go back to playing (with Raith Rovers) and Shankly left to take over at Dundee - which was a step up. He later led them to the league title while brother Bill was still in the Second Division with Liverpool. Oddly enough George Young's first match in charge of Thirds was a League Cup semi-final v Arbroath at which Shankly handed over to him. That led to the rare sight of both men sat in the Thirds dug-out at the same time. I'm old enough to have seen Third Lanark play, though not at Cathkin. I'm certain what happened to them couldn't happen now. Plenty of clubs have gone under in the years since and almost all of them have survived in some shape or form or come back as a 'phoenix' club. Supporters have made sure of that. Back in 1967 fans weren't as organised as they are today and authority was much more readily accepted. Every time a team goes under now then within days plans are under way to keep the club going or to revive it. It was Thirds' misfortune to go under 20-30 years too early.

Legit came to the comments to mention this

Double like.

Was that Mapmen on bagpipes too when we saw the map of three Hampden Parks?

making a subtle hint about ColdPlay, then fill the episode with ColdPlay on bagpipes. Genius.

It’s fix you by Coldplay when he’s talking about fixing up the stadium

Ah thank you for the comment Maurice - it's great to hear from a real Third Lanark fan. That was the 1960-61 season, when they finished third.They must have been fantastic to watch that year!

This is amazing! 😀

@@TheTimTraveller I was wondering if maybe you could do a video about Andorra one day

@@TheTimTraveller also are you considering visiting the orkney islands

And Going Underground. And the Map Men theme.

@@alexythemechanic8056 I heard the Map Men theme and was like 'hold on, wait a moment', and yes that is genuinely what it is. Brilliant work.

And Fix You at the end.

But also the Location,Location, Location theme! I do love some Phil and Kirstles

Ooh cheers for the tip! Never heard of that. Looks v cool

Yup

yea do that one!

Never thought I'd see the day Wageningen was mentioned on the internet as someone who currently studies at the university there haha. Also just learnt that this Sunday is Open Monument Day here and that the stadium has some special stuff going on as a result.

@@TheTimTraveller i’ll also add in the sort of famous stadium Za Lužankami in Brno, Czechia

Yes! That 1960-61 league table (when they finished 3rd) backs this up - check out the goals for and goals against columns :D

WOW, you arent joking. Only 2 draws through the whole season. They were really playing each game in "do or die" mode!.

Is there ever a story of Tim’s that’s not well told?

and 5:55 with the Map Men song

And the ending with "Fix You"

Old hat! 😉 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8h6hKerv9zJpac.html

@@SkaveRat Thank you! This was keeping me up all night! Jk, but seriously I was wondering from where I know the tune. And Ive been watching Jay Foreman alot lately lol

There are actually quite a lot of parks near there, and throughout Glasgow. For somewhere that's got a fair amount of urban jungle, there's also plenty of green!

When the end was looming players were paid in coins taken as gate admission payments at the turnstyles. Scottish League rules were that a new ball had to be provided by the home club for each game - so the best of the used ones were painted white.

Yeah, that was great! 🙂

Didn't know this was there until you said. I watched Lech Poznan a few years back in a disappointing Europa League qualifier - great stadium, complete with an old steam loco outside (take note, Tim).

Release goats into it.

Po Polsku 🇵🇱 Polska to piękny kraj. Jej stolica Warszawa też jest piękna, nie trzeba dodawać, jak wspaniały jest język polski. Czego tu nie lubić w Polsce? In English 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 Poland is a beautiful country. It’s capital city Warsaw is beautiful too, needless to say how awesome the Polish language is. What is there not to like about Poland?

I stumbled across this when walking around Poznan last year. Stunning place and amazing for photographs and to soak up the best (and the worst) of its history. Fascinating place!

Remember Boniek well.

Came here to say this 👍

I was surprised it actually worked. I once heard a different band play Clocks on bagpipes, and it was… less of a success, let's keep it at that.

They are currently groundsharing with Stenhousemuir.

My understanding is that Queens Park have played at Lesser Hampden for a long time - since at least the 80s?

@@rogink No, they were playing in the main stadium until just a few years ago when they went professional and the SFA bought it from them. The SFA were leasing it until that point. As part of the deal, Lesser Hampden was to be redeveloped as the home of QPFC. As someone else said, they are groundsharing with Stenhousemuir in the meantime. I live nearby, and it was looking almost finished just a few weeks ago. Crazy that a team with an average attendance in the hundreds were playing in a 50k seater stadium.

@@froggystyle642 QP made a very tidy income from Hampden renting it out for major games, concerts etc. but it was odds on the SFA wanted them out of the way eventually.

@@froggystyle642 Nothing sillier than watching a game of football in a EUFA 5-star stadium with only 400 or so others in it. It was one of those bucket list items

hoots mon

and a few fights after school in it too! I remember it before the cop shop - when that was the old Holyrood annex - and across the road you had the 24 hour van and not the Asda!

@@thenewvoice8 I said, hoots mon

@@thenewvoice8 Someone would say, "You're deid at 4" and we'd all traipse up to Cathkin to witness the fight. Usually neither putative pugilist would turn up, of course. Shitebags.

Ha! So I wasn't the only one thinking exactly the same :)

Even as a Rangers fan, Jimmy and the Lisbon Lions were an incredible team of talented players.

Glad I'm not the only one to notice... He is cheeky sneaking that in

I love it too. He's the only travel KZfaqr I've come across who does this. It's what made me hit the subscribe button on the first video of his that I watched. Then I went through his list and put loads in my watch list and binge-watched them with my husband. And the rest, as they say, is history 😁.

@@pixeltheragdoll Nonstop Eurotrip is a train review channel which is also a type of travel channel and he always mentions and shows the accessibility of the train station and the train itself, including weather it's step free or requires a special ramp/lift.

P.S. Is there a place where we can listen to your music? (Even if it's an incomplete song)

Quite a lot of it is on M. Traveller's Abandoned Rugs channel, but that has not been updated in a couple of years.

You might find Tim's other KZfaq channel, Abandoned Rugs, worth a watch/listen!

One can always listen to The Red Hot Chilli Pipers as an alternative, as well: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f8lgZJSX0snaoJs.html

Couldn't agree more!

Thank you Ralf, and cheers for all the tips! I'll add those to my list next time I'm in the Ruhr region...

@@TheTimTraveller Always a pleasure. Don't hestitate to contact me for some background info.

No sure about the mountains but there's plenty of rockets there haha

Hear hear! 👏

Scottish Map Men intro at 6:00ish. What a feat. Love these little easter eggs.

I remember hearing it being read out too and wondering what the hell "Third Lanark" actually meant?

They've killed the Sports Report.. just a month ago??
