.Stuart. Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 In no order Winton Park Meadow Park Dunterlie Newlandsfield Also enjoyed going to Blairgowrie at the beginning of the season, you got a sense of the huge crowds they used to get.

Fear no foe Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Its all about opinions and its great how everyones opinions differ but I can think of probably another 10 grounds before I would include Petershill. Dunno if its because their old ground was so impressive and the current ground seems to lack everything that was good about the old one. Plus last time I was there I dragged ma wean along, she got an overcooked sausage roll and ma pint was totally deed!! Another ground I love but nobody mentioned is Vale of Leven. Seen better days but theres just something about the place, all the history etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BANKIEBILL Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'd say - in no particular order Newlandsfield Lochburn Somervell Saracen Either Adamslie or Townhead variety of reasons but all the parks are quirky and welcoming. Just like a lot of Junior Parks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Race Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Sadly for "old school" ground lovers (including myself) I think their days are numbered and the future is New Petershill Park, John Cumming Stadium, Clyde Gateway etc. These are 3 very good stadiums but just not the same as the good auld ramshackles. Not my cup of tea anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mon The Port Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 To echo the comment above I would easily rather have the old Woodhall park in Port Glasgow rather than the current ground at parklea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesel1994 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 jamie wire had superb website could be putting pics up but its gone now!! There is a successor to that website in much the same format in a pinned thread at the top of this page. Myself, I prefer the old fashioned grounds so it will be the older versions of most grounds. Lesmahagow (sad to see the recent flooded pictures of this ground), old Petershill Park, Tinto Park (never there for an actual game but did go there for a few pints after Thistle played St. Ants nearby in 1994), Meadow Park, Townhead Park.

We were at Wishy during run to Scottish final in 86/87,won 6-0. You been to Blantyre mate ?No been there since early 70s.Never been to St Rochs or Forth myself. Best park ever was Muirkirk's old ground,fantastic scenery and a pitch full of holes....and a great roll and mince.No keen on any new ground ave been at prefered the Talbot when it had the old coal slag bing...and Cumnock as well.Petershill's is a pish subbuteo set up with flag poles that fall ower when its windy compared to their outstanding old park.

wintonfan Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 tough to name my top 5 but here we go 1. winton park, it is home and the games under the lights in the 90's had a amazing atmosphere 2. old petershill park, 1st big away game as a kid and you could feel the the history of the place, massive covered terrace 3. beechwood park auchinleck, again one of my 1st awaydays as a kid and the atmosphere is always there, now evolved into a fantastic ground 4. clyde gateway stadium rutherglen, it is a new ground but totally functional, good facilities and social club, pitch isnt the best 5. woodside park steelend, sad to hear that steelend have folded, you might ask why i have named it in my top 50 never mind top 5 but it was so bleak it was nice, gluepot pitch, poor pies but the folk were so welcoming and friendly also closest ground to knockhill race track whick is my home track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
