Total non-drug cheat Alan Wells trained there in his early days. The tin shed was opened in 1991 with a game between Scottish Junior Cup Winners Auchinleck Talbot and Tollcross United. Edinburgh City ground shared with Tollcross having previously played at Paties Road from 1991 to 1995. There were tiny home and away dressing rooms with a couple of showers in each room. There was a tiny ref's room in the middle and I think the ref may have had to use either of the changing rooms if they wanted a shower. On top of the tin hut was lockable storage where the goal posts used to go after the game. A stone wall seperated the pitch from some unkempt tennis courts but that was demolished a few years ago. The new changing pavilion is actually quite nice. A similar one was built down at East Pilton Park near Ainslie Park. I'm not sure which amateur team uses that one. I think it was Newtongrange who played there in 1991 to open it,I was at that game but could be wrong about it. Big crowd at the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have thought so, apart from the application being well past the deadline but I don't think that would be an issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanfromafar Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Good to see a bit of history re-instated here with this one, any other changes happening there or just the clubs name? i.e - Players / management / committee etc? I think they finished rock bottom of their league, may need more than just a change in the clubs name to succeed going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razamanaz Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I noticed a few clubs announcing that they have received their SFA licence - is it the club or the ground that qualifies? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The license has a whole number of factors involved and the ground criteria is just one part of it. Both those clubs have licenses but, another example, say Clydebank and Yoker. Same ground, Clydebank can be licensed because they have, I dunno, a specified fire marshal, club chaplain and their physio has been trained to use a defibrillator (or whatever the details are). Yoker play at the same ground but don't have those key aspects to get a license. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the same reason they had for joining the west. They can’t be arsed travelling to play a game of football. Thought they would cover less miles playing in the West, discovered that wasn’t the case so moved back to the primarily West Lothian 3rd division where they’ll happily play for years to come. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Beyond trips to Campbeltown after moaning about Tweedmouth from that standpoint, finishing bottom of the WOS fourth division against former amateur and youth clubs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021–22_West_of_Scotland_Football_League#League_table_5 may have provided a reality check on where they were going to fit in competitively in the west. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Mozza no longer at BSC/Broomhill/OG so looks like he's decided to start up a team (I think he created them in FM as well). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
