  • Very late post but I grew up in Possil, it’s no where near as bad as it used to be. I grew up in Redmoss St and went to St Cuthberts primary in Possil. Areas like Saracen Street and Saracen Cross can be quite bad for junkies and neds but again used to be a lot worse in the 90s. The Jungle which is the area behind what was Saracen Police station used to be very bad but again a lot of houses were flattened, mainly the tenement buildings. Sunnylaw Street and that used to be absolutely horrible but again a lot of spare ground there now due to houses being knocked down. by NeroForteRS (Tue 8th Jun 2021 12:23pm)
  • Seafar is an alright place to live, I’ve stayed there and Abronhill. Abronhill is a much more large scheme basically reminds me of living in Glasgow, Seafar has newly built flats and nice houses. Again depends on who you get as neighbours in Seafar but plenty of nice people stay there. by NeroForteRS (Tue 8th Jun 2021 12:56pm)
  • Yeah we had freewebs websites, lots of pictures of us brandishing weapons, gang signs, etc. by NeroForteRS (Tue 8th Jun 2021 11:52pm)
  • I went to school in Maryhill, it was mixed with people from Possil, Cadder, Lambhill, Ruchill and every part of Maryhill. I remember numerous times when people would come up from John Paul Academy to target Ruchill pupils at our school due to Maryhill fighting Ruchill for a long time. by NeroForteRS (Tue 8th Jun 2021 11:59pm)
  • Thanks! I’d never heard of this Violence Reduction Unit, in the 90s and early 2000’s gang violence was very common - a lot of the guys I knew growing up are either dead or in jail now. by NeroForteRS (Wed 9th Jun 2021 12:02am)
  • We had Nokia’s and Motorola flip phones, even the early BT Cellnet phones, these were mostly used to set up fights or getting shout outs on local pirate radio stations. by NeroForteRS (Wed 9th Jun 2021 12:00am)
  • Quite possibly I see a lot of these wee guys cutting about now, back when we grew up it was football team/Lacoste tracksuits, American team hats like baseball/basketball/ice hockey, pair of magic gloves and trendy trainers. by NeroForteRS (Wed 9th Jun 2021 12:06am)
