McDiarmid Park is the only football ground in the world to have a pitch perfectly aligned north-south.

 

The pitch at Broadwood sits above a giant WWII underground fuel tank, hence the location of the stadium around cheap land unsuitable for buildings. A second of of these tanks was demolished and flooded, forming the adjacent Broadwood Loch.

 

Similarly, during the planning for the now redeveloped East End Park, more detailed vintage maps were discovered showing that the pitch overlies a disused Victorian coal shaft that had simply been covered with thin wooden planks until the late 1990s.

What words?  He won that round using hand gestures only.  .. and when you consider he did that while wearing keeper's gloves - you have to admit it was pretty impressive.

Ant McParland is married to former Dunfermline "midfielder" Ian McParland. They plan to build a theme park in the jungle called Par Land, where bemused Australians will be shown footage of Jim Leishman and be able to punch Josh Falkingham for 3 dollars.

STV sold Scotsport seasons 1991-2008 to North Korean TV on a cheap 17 year contract, who dub it and tell their viewers that this is the top league outside of Korea. Millions of viewers think that Kilmarnock are the current European Cup champions and several recent deserters have requested onward travel through AT Mays.
