Space Cowboy Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 These are still going, I think Rosslyn = Rosslyn Sports (an Aberdeen team ) changed their name. They merged with another club and changed their name to Dyce. Jubilee Athletic relocated to Rosyth and were called Rosyth Recreation for a while before dropping the Recreation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guidhibby Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I remember Gencraig Colliery playing Dalkieth Thistle in the Scottish in the early fifties at Boar park Glencraig. Ballingry Rovers play in Glencraig now but on a different park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Gold Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 We played Balbeggie a while back in the scottish...drove past the park a few times b4 we found it cos it wiz just like a farmers field roped off then my dad had 2 chase the sheep off the park b4 kick off only a boy then but remember it well it wiz like the back of beyond The dugouts were made out off fence panels and there was an orchard next to it. If I remember it was foggy, damp and as you say in the middle of nowhere. Halbeath was next to Dunfermline's ground and the boundary fence was made out of old doors. It was pissing with rain and the Talbot fans were sliding down the grassy terrace every time they put a foot in the wrong place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Northerner Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Was not that long ago, could not tell you exactly how long though. And yes, they did have an excellent set-up. It's a shame the park is only used for the neds getting pissed now though They were around for the 1999/2000 season certainly as those are the last recorded games against Haddington in the old East Dustrict Division 1. The story I've heard (I think it was in Graeme McGinty's Statistical History but stand to be corrected) was lack of people to help run the club when the old guard began to retire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffcsam Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Seems it was 2003 when they folded. Not sure of any honours won. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Malone Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 terrible , what did they win mate ? I remember as a youngster playing there youth team and the best young player I have ever seen in my life played for them , a lad who would tragically be murdered before his true potential could be realised , Bonnybridge folded about 10 years ago,down to lack of bodies.Was kept going for years by the Connell family,most notably Ruby!.There is a strong boys club set up that is based at the Duncan Stewart ground,and I know that they have spoken about trying to go junior again. The youth player hasn't Lawrence Haggart was it?.Lawrence was 15 and on Celtics books when he was murdered in 1996. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th1stleandr0se Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I remember seeing Baillieston in the Junior Cup Final in 1965 when the Rose won the cup for the first time. I was just a nipper, like. We hammered them 4-1 with them getting a consolation in the final minute. They were quite a big name to disappear and I always thought they'd come back but they haven't. I remember us losing to Halbeath in the Scottish in a bit of a shock result. I also remember beating Comrie 8-0 in a Scottish tie. What I remember about that game was my mate going to get the pies and us scoring 5 goals in a 10 minute blitz while he was in the queue and not able to see the match properly.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRoyGuy Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) Yeah it was snowy,the lad was same age as me his nickname was hags , as i said the name of club sticks in my mind as that is who he played for , I remember when we played them there was around 50 scouts at the match watching one lad alone , such a shame nobody kept a club who obviously produced excellent players of various ages going Edited December 1, 2010 by robroyguy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
