Starks Park Kdy Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I've just read an article where John McGinn said he hated playing at Starks Park.I remember years ago Paul Gascoigne saying he loved playing in Kdy and loved the atmosphere, is Starks Park like marmite to players?Is Gazzas memory rose tinted as they pumped us a couple of times and McGinn has shivers down his spine as a result of tougher games?

Funnily enough, after it was picked up in the press more and more teams started to do it. The season we won the league, and the season where we ran the Pars close both had fantastic atmospheres in the South Stand where it felt like there was a huge degree of positive energy n the support. You always felt that if the opposition scored, we'd go on and get another goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can notice the difference in dressing rooms when you do any stadium tour. Arsenals home dressing room has a plunge pool, jacuzzi and shock absorbing flooring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
