It has, but Thistle don't play in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillseekfedup Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Dont particularly dislike any ground but I was totally underwhelmed by the Show park east Kilbride. All on the flat and too far away from the pitch, car park an absolute pit.Like going to Talbot, meadow park, Cumnock before the astro and pollok.Went to Fauldhouse with my dad and uncle, must be about 25yrs ago and that was horrible. Remember men fighting and people covered in blood. These things happen everywhere but as a wee guy, no good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 What's wrong with glenaftons park? [emoji33] You have to enter New Cumnock to get to it?[emoji39] As I mentioned previously, worst for me is Broxburn. Just an absolute hole of a place. Favourite probably has to be Hill O' Beath's Kiers Park. Slight slope but a nice flat pitch and decent ground, albeit one Bo'ness don't often get a result! Along with Haddington, HOB's one of the few grounds I will maybe get something to eat. No a bad wee selection of decent grub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to a pre season friendly through in Haddington with Cambuslang Rangers a couple of years ago & the pies were like nothing I've tasted before. Absolutely beautiful , better than a 3 course meal. We won 4-3 , but the pie was the highlight of the day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaturdaySammy Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Best away grounds....Newlandsfield or Medda Park - both have a good old school feel to them as well as a great atmosphere and playing surface. Worst away grounds....Petershill, Perthshire and Maybole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Albert Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I have enjoyed all the grounds we have visited, its not just about the grounds its about the people you meet and the welcome and hospitality you get. Not had a bad experience yet also had a few good bowls of soup, plates of stovies, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Maryhill have a great ground. I'm very fond of Holm Park, though I'll admit to some bias there. I've not had the pleasure of being inside Kilsyth's ground for a game, but having passed by it numerous times it looks like a cracking old style stadium.
