The Bens Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 No confirmation of the new name yet, New Tinto has been mentioned, but that`s all. I personally think there will be a part named after Tommy and yes there will be a covered section at the motorway side. No date confirmed yet, but things are moving quickly now so hopefully soon.

WaffenThinMint Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 great to see, hope the place is ned-proof as the bens deserve a break An unfortunate juxtaposition of words perhaps, but the sentiment is echoed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBENS Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Thanks for all the comments about our new ground, most appreciated no date as yet when completed but keep updated as we go along, nothing decided as ground name, but what is certain that the late great Tommy Douglas will be incorporated in some capacity as is fitting for a great Benburb man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 All the very best lads - I've enjoyed every trip to Tinto immensely where I met with nothing but friendliness and great hospitality, and I expect that it will be exactly the same at your new home? Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james. Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Name it the new be benburb stadium and name a sponsors lounge after Tommy as that would also be a fitting tribute to the man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpal27 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Have been watching the new ground take shape from the top deck of the X23 bus heading into Glasgow from Renfrew. It looks great from there. Good luck to the Bens on a trouble free completion. Have started a new thread on the new ground for Renfrew FC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connolly81 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Passed the ground today it looks very impressive and another great addition to our game. Doesn't look like a lot of work to be done now. Well done the bens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsPhil Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Any update on an opening date? I noticed that Benburb's 29th Nov fixture was switched to be an Away early in that week (so not a weather-induced last-minute switch) even though there was no reason to do so since Neilston were Away. That Away came after a series of Aways, and with Aways thereafter. So I wondered if that switch indicated a deliberate saving-up of Homes until they truly could be Home instead of at Neilston. In the latest release of fixtures, Benburb have been given three consecutive Homes - on Sat 20th Dec, Sat 27th Dec, and Sat 3rd Jan. Does that indicate that as of 20th Dec they'll be playing on the new ground, I wonder... For the first two of those dates, Neilston aren't Home, so it's possible that Benburb could fulfill those Home fixtures there. But on 3rd Jan, Neilston are themselves Home. It's Benburb v Renfrew, which couldn't just be switched, since Johnstone Burgh are also Home that day. So that one must surely have been scheduled knowing that Benburb will definitely be on their new ground by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bens Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Any update on an opening date? No date has been set yet. LeedsPhil, on 03 Dec 2014 - 12:51, said: I noticed that Benburb's 29th Nov fixture was switched to be an Away early in that week (so not a weather-induced last-minute switch) even though there was no reason to do so since Neilston were Away. How do you know there wasn`t a reason ?, LeedsPhil, on 03 Dec 2014 - 12:51, said: That Away came after a series of Aways, and with Aways thereafter. Is it not easier to switch a game to "away"providing it suits the other team too ? LeedsPhil, on 03 Dec 2014 - 12:51, said: So I wondered if that switch indicated a deliberate saving-up of Homes until they truly could be Home instead of at Neilston. Absolute conjecture as it hasn`t done Renfrew any harm to be playing home away from home. LeedsPhil, on 03 Dec 2014 - 12:51, said: In the latest release of fixtures, Benburb have been given three consecutive Homes - on Sat 20th Dec, Sat 27th Dec, and Sat 3rd Jan. We also have two away fixtures preceding those, one in the league and one in the cup both to Dunipace, we also played our Scottish cup tie away to Medda, are you suggesting the draws were rigged to suit Bens ? LeedsPhil, on 03 Dec 2014 - 12:51, said: Does that indicate that as of 20th Dec they'll be playing on the new ground, I wonder... No, it doesn`t indicate anything of the sort, you are reading too much into nothing, it is not in Bens best interests to keep an opening date a secret as we are anticipating a full house when we do open, so as soon as it`s confirmed we will be as public as we possibly can with advertising it on here, Twitter, Facebook and our Website as well as locally. LeedsPhil, on 03 Dec 2014 - 12:51, said: For the first two of those dates, Neilston aren't Home, so it's possible that Benburb could fulfill those Home fixtures there. Yes it is possible, but it is also possible that we could fulfill those fixtures elsewhere as we have done recently at Saracen Park. LeedsPhil, on 03 Dec 2014 - 12:51, said: But on 3rd Jan, Neilston are themselves Home. And ? LeedsPhil, on 03 Dec 2014 - 12:51, said: It's Benburb v Renfrew, which couldn't just be switched, since Johnstone Burgh are also Home that day. So that one must surely have been scheduled knowing that Benburb will definitely be on their new ground by then. Absolute rubbish as we have already played Renfrew away at Keanie Park, we still have three games that could possibly be reversed, we take each fixture as we are given them, if the other team is happy to reverse then that`s the easiest option, every team we have reversed the fixture with have been more than happy to do so. if not then we look at alternatives. I suggest that you look at our league position before you launch into any more conspiracy theories. Thank you for your dissertation on Benburb F.A.C.
