energyzone Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Worst grounds - Bellshill, Glasgow Perthshire, Ardeer Thistle Best grounds - Pollok, Cumbernauld, Ardrossan Winton Rovers I really like Ardeer Stadium. I just wish it was fenced/walled and closed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee fan Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Worst is Petershill in west and Broxburn in East. Best in west is Talbot and in east Lithgae Don't you like Maryhill's ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 My ideal frankenstein stadium - Irvine Meadow's stand on one side, Pollok's enclosure on the other, Talbot's pitch in the middle, Beith's pies in the pie hut, Cumnock's enclosure behind each goal, and Rob Roy's internet fans banned from attending.

Ross. Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Newlandsfield has to be my favourite. Helps that I've never seen us lose a game there. Maryhill is also a great ground to watch a game. Petershill is a bit of a wind tunnel, but the worst I have been to was Bellshill before they moved to their current place. When we beat them there and won promotion in 2011 it was a terrible set up from a supporters point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason King Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 The 2 worst things about Petershill were the pitch (and thankfully it has been replaced) that rather bizarre netting in front of the stand. If they have managed to lose that whilst putting in the new pitch then it will be a tidy wee set up. I've always liked Perthshire, especially when the locals offer you some of their Ribena infused champagne, it has character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly that game was played at the Matt Busby Complex,a truly dreadful place to watch a game but,sadly,where Bellshill had to make their home at the time. Incidentally,I think some of comments re the Rockburn are a tad harsh considering the time the club has been there and that it is,afaik,another temporary home which lets the club play in the town until the new park at the Academy is ready.

Yup,I've always enjoyed my visits to Keppoch Park,a good Junior ground with some good Junior folk at the helm and when they finally get round to making the bust of wee Billy Adams,I just hope that they don't let Manny Santos get anywhere near it.

I think you are right, I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of it but now you have said it, it rings a bell. It was definitely down the side of a sports centre.

BS7 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 All junior grounds are great, with the possible exception of new Victoria park. Not a patch on the old ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right the netting was put up due to seats in the stand continually being broken by wayward shots when the park was divided into three 7-a-side pitches playing across-ways. When it first opened the whole stand was seated - it's now just the middle section that is thanks to the amount that were trashed by the 7s. The nets were still there to protect the remaining bit of seating last time I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were promised it would be taken down for our games but in usual Glasgow Life style that was shortlived. Hopefully the seats will be replaced by benches eventually and the net can then go too. The seats last longer now since I don't play 7s any more. [emoji16] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeKRR1878 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 A know that, just heard that maybe your new home next season Perhaps, nothing set in stone yet but I can see the sense in it if so. Obviously right now and the past few seasons Rossvale have shared Petershill making a 3rd team difficult unless the league expanded to Sunday football, Friday nights or later kick offs on a Saturday. Is it fair on Cumbernauld to keep using their ground as we know well the pitch isn't the greatest in the world. We have a backlog of games building due to pitch being waterlogged. December I think was the last game we played at Guy's Meadow. So maybe it will be Petershill maybe it won't but it would make perfect sense to use it seeing as it is an all weather pitch and Rossvale will be away back to Huntershill by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc57 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 My favourite ground is Lanark, because I am biased. I like watching games at Lesmahagow. My least favourite grounds are any with an artificial surface and those that sell pies bought from a supermarket rather than a local butcher or baker.
