Hawk89 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Glebe is glorious. Great wee terrace behind the goal, good soup and AN ACTUAL HEDGE. This. Only one I'd trade for Somerset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 If we had a sniff of top-flight football again then I'd be replacing our main stand with either Dunfermline's or (more practical) Airdrie's version. The terrace behind the goal at Palmerston would be an improvement on the WDE, but the two main home ends are already excellent places to watch a football match. A Polish league cage out in the pissing rain to accommodate the away fans would be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WDE is cracking when the sun's out, summer football would benefit away fans in Greenock (assuming enough turn up). Probably one of my favourite stands/terraces in this league, would prefer Glebe though as the stadium is the full package with being able to move round.

Binos123sam Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 None, majority of grounds are seriously lacking, eep could do with a bit of terracing so if partial swaps were allowed I'd replace the north stand with morton's cowshed the ground would be pretty close to perfect if we did . eep is shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 eep is shit The terracing was decent before they demolished most of it. Was good how you could just change between having a side or behind the goal view as you pleased. At least the current one has kept a slight bit of character with the differing stand styles. North stand seems to have just had seats thrown in and a bit of white plastic stuck on the roof, keeping the original style. Far better than the classic Lego brick of e.g. Airdrie which I really don't like tbh. I'm guessing that what makes EEP shite in your eyes is when you only have a couple of hundred away fans in the east stand (if it's open at all) and less than half the home seats filled? It's good with a decent crowd and the Norrie type stands give a good view as they rival Tynecastle for steepness. And that's before mentioning the Stephen's bridies! All red seats though, why? (that said, black and white at St Mirren looks rather tacky for whatever reason). Eta: Better add my choice and if Galabank can get a mention so far then it's Claggan Park, Fort William for me seeing as they're in the pyramid setup. The weather might be grim much of the time but the ability to pay to get in (although the cheap skate option is open) and then walk through a gate into the social club beer garden (which is outside of the ground as far as the law is concerned), just a few feet from the pitch is unrivalled in Scottish football. Great views of Nevis from it too... when you can see it that is. It also has what I saw to be a hedge btw, albeit a coniferous typical garden type one rather than beech. Shhhhh though. In our division, then probably Stair Park as it's the most 'Glebey'. On the other hand, if travel is a factor then it's Peterhead hands down!

Blue-Orchid Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Quite content with Stair Park, well looked after, tidy wee park now. Only think lacking is a social club at the ground and fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrTroopMajor Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 In this league I like Ochilview Bar the terracing that the away fans get, I am baffled by this! I wouldn't trade Somerset. I like shiteholes. Maybe gie's the Cowshed from Cappielow instead of the Open Terracing and that'll do me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 does the Wee Dublin End not just need a roof really? Going forward, probably. But on the few occasions where's been open to home fans out of necessity it's always been a glorious day, and there's something quite special about standing near the top of the WDE with a tremendous overlook of the ground bathing in the sun. Shame it's so rare we get to do it. I think a roof would take something away from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Airdrie's ground is more suited to our size. You could fit our entire crowd in one stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Imagine the lightshow though. You already get a good glow off the AK-47s and IEDs going off in Jaba at the weekends. I'd take EEP's main stand. You could fit about ten Wallaces in Legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 does the Wee Dublin End not just need a roof really? No, as it's in theory still set up as bench seating rather than being a full terrace with barriers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 No, as it's in theory still set up as bench seating rather than being a full terrace with barriers. I always assumed that the benches were just drilling and fixed onto the existing terracing and could therefore easily be removed with barriers re-installed. What would/could Morton do with the other end? (Sinclair St?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 WDE is great assuming it's sunny and not rained for weeks. Can still be a sunny day but your feet can be soaked due to build up of rain between the benches. Trenchfoot ahoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
