So without doubt they have the best ground in the juniors. Agree with this for sure . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BathgateBhoy Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Cant believe the famous Creamery, Bathgate hasnt been mentioned more. Best playing surface about and young Ben works tirelessly on it. Always hosting East Finals too. Not many floodlight pitches in the East like ours.

Burnie_man Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Looking at some grounds across the Lothians with a bit of history…….. Volunteer Park, Armadale: Been there for over 100 years, and was once a League venue with Armadale FC in the 1920/30’s. I believe the old stand may have gone to Stenhousemuir, which was only demolished a few years back. Newtown Park, Bo’ness: As Volunteer Park, not sure how long it’s been in existence, but again a league venue where Rangers, Celtic and Hearts have all played in the 20/30’s. Pity the old stand has gone, hopefully one day there will be a replacement. Olivebank, Musselburgh: Opened in 1910 by the famous Bobby Walker of Hearts/Scotland. The official opening match was against Junior Cup holders Ashfield, Walker acted as a linesman, and I believe Musselburgh Athletic (not the current club) played in a selection of Walker’s old Scotland shirts. New Dundas Park, Bonnyrigg; Another that has been there, I think pre-WWI replacing the old Dundas Park (obviously!), they never have sorted out that slope……..also Arniston Rangers Newbyres Park, I think a pre-WW1 venue (it has looked like one for long enough!) Stoneyburn, Bathgate Thistle, Pumpherston, Broxburn Athletic, Tranent, Dalkeith Thistle, Whitburn all play at venues which were in existence since before WWII, some of them much changed, others not so much.

Loved Benburb. By the end it was a crumbling relic of a byegone age but it was a great monument to what Junior Football once was. One of those places steeped in history and stale pish in equal measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I no wot u mean,a think it ended up the same as Renfrew, they knew a new Park was coming, so no point in updating surroundings, as long as surface was OK to play on.
