My dad swears on his life that he watched a game at BP of Town versus Kilmarnock. Anyone else remember this or should I get him a dementia assessment?

I may have been at that pre season friendly, with Town winning 3-0, maybe 1979 ish?










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Saw Town play St. Mirren in July, 2001 at BP during pre-season. And staying with “foreign” opposition, Willem II played a friendly v Town in 2004. Can’t help with Kilmarnock or Hibs though…

I usually stay clear of pre season, but do remember us playing (and beating) Hesrts 2-0, and I reckon it was 1997. We also beat Aberdeen 2-1, I reckon. I do remember Jack Lester getting hauled off by Buckley in that one really early as he slapped one of their defenders across the face! I think the ref told him to get him off or else it’s a red - wouldn’t get that treatment nowadays, even in pre season.

We also played Dundee when Ivano was their manager.

I remember a good run of results against Scottish teams in pre-season for the 97/98 promotion so you would be right about in being 1997.

I will always remember being bottled over the head from behind when we played Dundee some years back, turned out to be a good set of lads and had a few beers with them up Cleethorpes later on.

Remember watching us play against Queen of the South in the late sixties, can’t remember the score but we lost the game.

Although not Scottish I also remember us playing Japan in 1971 in McMenemy’s first season and winning 7-2.

Not listed in the database which contains all competitive matches Town have played, so it must have been a friendly.

Live in Paisley, would've loved to see St. Mirren play Town. Would be an interesting game though if they were both playing in home colours lol!
