Wild Winton Rover Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Due to ongoing issues at Merksworth Park, Dalry Thistle will play their League Match against Ardrossan Winton Rovers scheduled for Monday 7th May at Winton Park, Ardrossan with a 7pm kick off. They will play Muirkirk Juniors in the League on Wednesday 9th May at the Show Park, Kilwinning Sports Club with a 7pm kick off. They will play Annbank United in the League on Saturday 12th May also at Kilwinning Sports Club at 2pm. There is the possibility that their away league game for Saturday 5th May against Annbank United will also played at Kilwinning Sports Club if the work at New Pebble Park has not been completed.

Dindeleux Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I have major sympathy for Dalry but this park issue has been going on for almost 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPhone Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 It’s frustrating for teams who just want to play, probably none more than Dalry themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan of the juniors Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Starting to get it right off the park at Dalry . Really need to get the pitch issue sorted asap or it’ll all be for nothing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Cashmore always very frustrated about the lack of games on when posting on facebook. Nothing worse than getting ready for a game only for it to be called off. From memory the issue was with a water main running water into the soil at the petrol station (now Lidl) side of the park. When I lived in Dalry and went to games the word was always that the council and/or Scottish Water couldn't actually decide who the water main belonged to. However a lot of park issues are blamed on councils when reality is that the club can't afford to or don't want to fix it. Not saying that is the case with Dalry the consistent story is that its the lack of ownership from other parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPhone Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I certainly think that it’s time the club took the bull by the horns and did something about it. you can’t go on like this every season... obviously got a good team just now and probably going to win league but you can’t build on that when every time it rains your home games are off. Players will leave and it will be difficult to attract quality players to the club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appraisal Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Having seen Dalry last Saturday, playing on the Show Parks and away from Merksworth will work in their favour, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-german exile Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 So tonight's game is Dalry's home game even though it's at Winton Park?I didn't realise you could do that in a league match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringford10 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 You can do what you want this season when you have a park that is unplayable for most of the season.At this rate we will be soon be playing on school pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsPhil Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Dalry's last two Home fixtures (unless they win the Division and have Evening Times duty) have now been set - Monday 14th and Wednesday 16th May. Anybody know if those will also be at the Kilwinning Sports Centre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dindeleux Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Not sure what the setup is in terms of paying to get into the sports club (it’s a public park around the show parks so why would you) but it’s a real income loser for Dalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think they are worried about that they just want the games on. In terms of the showparks the 1st is fairly closed off tbf and is a decent setup down one side. Though not ideal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
