My old home ground, having moved down south I don't know what 's been going on there since the club fold. https://www.dunfermlinepress.com/news/19722366.steelend-victorias-dilapidated-ground-set-developed/ i heard someone say it had been used for training dogs. The farmer who leased it to the football clubs has obviously just decided to cut his loses on the site. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do amateurs use them? I go by ore park fairly regularly. Doesn’t look like it’s in that much use for football no goalposts up for example, but the grass is always cut, so I guess there’s something done there, unless its just cut by council. There’s pitches nearby at lochore meadow for amateurs. Edited November 21, 2021 by parsforlife 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed the last time I was at a Welfare game that the old Crosshill Cricket Club pitch had been turned into a football pitch and used by Benarty Astros. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 Seems like another blow to Rosyth hopes... they've been dropped from Dunfermline Athletic's plans to develop the Civil Service Grounds. However it sounds like another new iron is in the fire: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it sounds like another new iron is in the fire: Hope you get something sorted out soon. Bit unsure of the name Rosyth Seniors. Is that now the Club's official name? It brings to mind a team of pensioners running about the field. There's a danger it will be misconstrued in much the same way as "Juniors" led many to assume it was a kids team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 First sight of the new Meadowbank Stadium: Can you delete that please? Awful stadium. Not fit for purpose.

It's barely fit for Leith Athletic let alone Edinburgh City But I expected nothing less tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 A three-row stand separated from a plastic (?) pitch by an eight-lane athletics track and a two-lane long jump track. Absolutely awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely awful. All they had to do was raise the seating a bit and arrange the rows at a steeper angle to have reasonable sight lines for both. Looks like Edinburgh City were supposed to take the hint that they weren't wanted there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Pennel Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 There would have to be a railing (or some other physical barrier) between seats and playing surface to allow EoS or LL games to take place, Shirley ? Maybe the javelin chuckers will be posted at either end of the pitch to discourage any encroachment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
