As you can see from the programme cover (click for full size pic), Brockville Park has remained remarkably untouched by the passing fads of ground development over the last 13 years. Visiting the 'stadium' again in February 1999 for Hibs' Division 1 fixture was itself a veritable stroll down memory lane. Apparently the toilets have not been altered since medieval times, and Channel 4's Time Team are reportedly keen on carrying out excavations in the search for Crawford Baptie's ancestors.
The game was the first I'd seen of Hibs under new manager Alex Miller who had replaced John Blackley at the beginning of December. New recruits Doug Bell, Graeme Mitchell and Tommy McIntyre were on display and looked impressive, especially Bell who netted a 20 yard volley to seal a 3-1 victory for Hibs. The full team was: Rough, Sneddon, Mitchell, Bell, Rae, McIntyre, Weir, Kane, McCluskey, Collins and McBride, with Cowan and May on the bench. The other scorers for Hibs were George McCluskey and Joe McBride.
