~C'mon the Town~ Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Looking at the plans the problem I see is the distance from the pavilion to the park ...played a friendly there against Rossvale a few seasons back and changed at the old building in the far corner...was a bit of a trek down to the park also......

Brycie73 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 How many Gartcairn players who are in their squad this season came through the Gartcairn system? And if the ground at Gartcairn is Junior Compliant then it shouldn't really be an issue to get a new build in Bishopbriggs up to scratch - who knows they may even put the toilets within half a mile of the ground [emoji6] When Rossvale first came into the Juniors they were made up AFAIK from players from their various other teams, as you say it was the top of the tree but after a couple of years of not doing much they decided to get Lauchlan in and rip up the ethos of being the pinnacle. It would be interesting to see what % of Rossvale players in their first Junior season were signed from other Rossvale teams such as the AMs and U-21s and what the corresponding figure is now. I know that at least 5 players have signed and are playing with the juniors 4 of whom played with them at u19 last season and 1 who's been there a couple of seasons and played u17 with Ross Vale the 19's last year had a good relationship with Lauchy and he was very receptive to the 19s training and playing with the juniors when he could the same with the 21s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Bearing in mind the doc on the SJFA website is merely aspirational (to the best of my knowledge), this is all the SJFA handbook says about a ground: ..efficiently prevents the public having access thereto without payment and has dressing accommodation, including full toilet and washing facilities for the teams of each club within the ground.

fan of the juniors Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 If that was the case we'd be fucked as you can basically watch from half the ground standing at the fence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeedsPhil Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Concerns raised further up this thread remain - Huntershill is not (yet) up to SJFA-compliant level so Rossvale can't play competitive Junior fitba there yet. It seems that work is continuing, so hopefully they'll be allowed to use it sooner rather than later. They were due to have three of their four Sectional games at home, with just one away Rossvale's first home fixture on Wednesday 9th August v Cumbernauld United will now be at Ashfield. Glasgow Tigers Speedway are one of their sponsors, so that's an understandable back-up venue. Their 2nd home fixture on Saturday the 12th v Kirkintilloch Rob Roy remains (for now) listed as at Huntershill. Presumably somewhere else will have to be found for that. I notice that the speedway have got a home meeting at Ashfield that evening which maybe rules out playing there in the afternoon, and that Cumbernaud United are home which rules out a switch to KRR's shared home Guy's Meadow. Rossvale's 3rd home fixture on Wednesday the 16th v Kilsyth is switched to Duncansfield (Ashfield are home that night). That gives Kilsyth three of their group games at home and just 1 away.

Burnie_man Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 What work still needs to be done? I raised the issue of changing facilities not being "within the ground" is that part of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I went up to do my nosey the other week when they played Pollok under 21s in a friendly. First obvious flaw was that there were no dugouts, but I see on Twitter that they had them for the weekend. There is a clear path which can be cordoned off from the pitch to the pavilion so I don't think that's an issue as I've been to other places where the players got changed outwith the ground, including once at Forth where the teams got changed in the sports centre along the road. Could any of the Rossvale guys tell us what the capacity is? Viewing is restricted to two pens on the far side of the pitch which are maybe 30 yards long, and can only be reached by walking right round the outside of the main fence. You can't transfer from one pen to the other unless you go the long way round. I would reckon that although each pen can possibly hold a couple of hundred, only those standing on the barrier will actually be able to see the game. That wont be an issue at most of their league matches, but if they draw a well supported team at home in a cup then it might be a problem Playing surface is excellent, but as well as having markings for football also has rugby (in blue) and seven a side (in yellow) markings on it.

Bankies Alive Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 We played Gartcairn at their place on Friday and the dressing rooms are across the road in a school. There are no toilets in the ground its basically just an astro pitch with a fence round it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I guess the SJFA aren't too bothered about enforcing their own ground requirements in that case. No surprise there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenconner Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I'm sure the Junior history buffs will be along shortly to point out Rossvale ain't the first Junior team to have played in Auchinairn. In fact the last Junior ground was probably nearer today's pitch than the present day lavvies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they want to be Junior or Amateur?? Think it's about time they were told to make up their mind lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyTheGall Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 The Gartcairn set-up is horrendous. Was there for Bankies pre-season match last Friday. £4 in,no toilets facilities,no cover from the adverse weather and confined to a 25-30 metre space on one side of the pitch.
