RobM Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Haw haw haw haw haw. Ayrshire clubs get it tight right enough. Practically every year the Scottish is at Rugby Park no matter the finalists and you've got to laugh at the suggestion that suggests Peasy's park is too close to Perthshire when we got sent through from Musselburgh to play Auchinleck 7/8 miles up the road from them in both finals we've made.

peasy23 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I've got no idea if Petershill Park was available or not for Saturday, but the last two weekends it has had 12 amateur and boys finals played on it over the Saturday and Sundays so it may well have been booked.

Scottish Cup Final venue is decided by SJFA. This is the a West region issue so not comparable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a marathon right enough, I don't know how you'd all cope in a big place like Livi. Ayrshire fans are not poorly treated, the suggestion is laughable.

I suggest you look up when the WOS Cup Final was last played in Ayrshire despite their being many Ayrshire teams in the final and plenty all Ayrshire Finals (Talbots last three were against other Ayrshire teams) and tell me its nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superpollok Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 So the West of Scotland has to be played at Pollok now Evening Times has to be played in Central region. Ayrshire clubs should just not enter them lol. On the subject of final venues as usually on here there is the claims that every final is played at Newlandsfield.So this season....BenburbPollok Cambuslang x2Not disputing that the Times could have been played in Ayrshire - I suppose the problem they may have is what parks are still willing to take a final after their season has ended and work has started for next season - maybe Largs - nice trip to the seaside in June with a final thrown in!

Don't class us all in with that very very small minority that blatantly go against the rules & bring a bad name tae our 'fans' behaviour in general!! I just hope they haven't got our club a fine or whatever as a result of their stupid actions, at a time when it should all be about what's going on on the pitch not what's being thrown on the pitch!

No doubt Glenafton will have barred the pyrotechnic brigade and the people who encroached the playing surface, so it should be a great day out with no incidents.

It's not really enough if it's just the winners. That means there are far too few matches for the competition ever to be taken seriously, and it doesn't come with the potentially considerable benefit of providing a reward for finishing in the top 3, 4, 5, whatever, in the league. Anyway, just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilsythCoyle Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 What about Renfrew's new ground?? Covered terracing pretty small, but a better alternative to Benburb?? A better atmosphere too I would reckon?? I look at Benburbs New Tinto Park and I wonder where the planning and thinking behind it came from?? A strange looking seated stand with absolutely no cover on it (in Glasgow) lol?? Very little real terracing for supporters to view the game from. The ground lacks any real class / heritage or tradition too, and looks as if it's just been thrown together. This is by no means a go at Benburb btw. They're a fantastic old club with great tradition. I feel that the new ground doesn't represent the club the way it should have! I played at the old ground and it oozed in all of the above mentioned!! Im amazed that the planners didn't go for a good sized modern raised covered terracing area on one side of the pitch (similar to a Kelty or Kilbirnie) for supporters to watch the game from. The rest of the ground could have been left as open raised terracing and the club slotting in at one end of the ground behind a goal?? If the money was there then a small 200-500 covered seated stand at the opposite side to the terracing could have been incorporated?? Surely this would have been on the same budget as the current setup they have?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, but was just a thought! I think when you look at what for example Renfrew or Blackburn Jnrs in the East have done, and compare it to New Tinto, you can see that it is achievable to build a new ground on a smaller budget but keep to the Junior type of ground tradition. As I said, Benburb a great old club though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to be corrected but I think the seats they have is a retractable stand that they got from the commonwealth games.I don't think they've ever had planning permission for it and had hoped to be able to put a roof on but the council turned it down as there is a public path at the back that hadn't been considered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
