It is a plastic pitch, so no issues there.
Looks like the trains to Aberdeen are severely disrupted/cancelled today and there's currently flooding at the Broxden roundabout, so getting there might be more of a problem.
I could be (and probably am) wrong but I think you might be getting mixed up with Steve Morgon. As far as I can remember Gemmell was on the board at the same time as John Wilson during the late 80's/early 90's.
I'm not sure if he was still a director when Scott bought Wilson's shares.
It is the same guy.
Trying to spread it round the country, off the top of my head:
Drongan
Lochgelly
Newmains
Lesmahagow
Mallaig
are all faily dire.
The likes of Greenock, Paisley and Coatbridge are getting mentioned a lot - but they've all got some nice bits too.
I'm 99% sure that he's english.
Ex-Dundee Utd (not sure where he is now) player Danier Ogunmade went to school in Coatbridge. Not sure where he was born though.
