Working in the Caley from the late 60s to mid 80’s, the Peasie were the local junior team we occasionally went to watch at Peasie Park.
There was a strong traditional link between Petershill Juniors and The Caley going back decades as it was next door to the railway workshops and many of the club committee members and social club members worked in the factory.

I remember in the early 70’s when it was decided that all British Rail coaches would be painted blue, we had gallons of surplus maroon paint which we used to paint some coaches with and there was only one place it could go ! I remember the whole stock of hundreds of gallons was sold for a nominal sum, probably a tenner, and the Peasie got enough stock of their club colour paint to touch up the stiles and terracing for the next 10 years.

The Caley works football tournament, held every year between the different trades within the factory, always had the final at Petershill Park and we had many a good night in the Peasie Club after the game (unless the electricians won who nobody liked) in which we did our bit to swell the club coffers by trying to drink the bar dry.
I remember guys like Russell Johnstone, Bob Mcdonald, Jackie Saunders, John Alexander who all worked in the Caley and were fanatical Peasie supporters. Local derbies were quite intense affairs,
particularly against Ashfield who were detested quite vehemently by the Petershill supporters and terracing set-to’s were not uncommon.
I don’t know the origin of the bad feeing and if it was religious or not as the ‘Hill had the nickname of the Wee Gers but wouldn’t have thought so as St Roch’s in Provanmill were the Celtic oriented club and they were not held with as much disdain as Ashfield.

I see from the papers that Petershill Park (apparently the highest junior park in Scotland elevation-wise) has been demolished and rebuilt, using what was left of Paddy Orr’s park, the grassy area behind the stadium which ran over towards Flemington Street.
Good to see The Peasie are still going strong and remain a major force in junior football.
