topcat(The most tip top) Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Never realised the Falkirk Stadium was suffering from such pronounced subsidence. It must make an Easter Road regular like yourself feel nostalgic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 One from the weekend. And there was me saying that the slope at Wick's Harmsworth Park was bad. [emoji47] Eta: ach, beaten to it. Bloody refresh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityDave Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) One of the nicest wee grounds in Junior football, Crombie Park home of Culter FC. I don't have any photos of it but there is a fence in front of the shop to protect anyone working or standing waiting to be served as the shop is right in the line of fire behind one of the goals. The match was a Scottish Cup game against Burntisland SY. The light wasn't that great for any other angles but the first two so I've used photos of google images for the others. Anyone recognise the player on the ball in the first photo? Third photo I can see the fence to protect those going for a tea and a pie. New covered area for supporters there behind the goal, I hadn't seen that yet. Edited September 27, 2016 by CityDave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the legs was missing and it had been propped up on the back of a chair. Unfortunately the chair was two or three inches too short, so it sloped towards one corner, giving a distinct advantage to whoever was attacking that end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I like the 'Dont leave Falkirk' sign at the bottom. Nah I'm OK thanks, I'll leave Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for them, Chris Templeman scored for Brechin in the last few seconds of the season, giving us a second consecutive promotion at the expense of the Diamonds. What a day that was. Hopefully some Airdrie (or Stranraer) fan there on the day can shine more light on the matter. There were quite a few Clydebank fans in the Brechin end that day. Fair to say they enjoyed that last minute winner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspy Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Pretty sure Hansen is from Fishcross, which for those of you who are unfamiliar with the Wee County, is the small village next to Sauchie. Sauchie Juniors ground is slap bang between Fishcross and Sauchie and the two towns are now pretty much joined together by a new housing estate. The golf course right next to the ground is Alloa Golf Course which in itself is strange as the golf course is on the fringes of Fishcross and Sauchie and when you leave it you have to travel through Sauchie to get to Alloa. Ha ha. Oh, and the golf course is locally called Schawpark. I had no idea the ground had been redeveloped. Also, in the panoramic photo, who are they playing? That looks like a hell of a crowd. Hansen is a Sauchie lad.Frank Burrows stayed in Fishcross. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityDave Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Auchinleck Talbot - Its a nice wee ground Beechwood Park for the West Juniors that wasn't far off being as good as one of the best of the Highland League grounds up north but without the floodlights. No floodlights yet still? Took these photos at Talbot's 7-0 demolition of Fort William in the Scottish Cup 26/09/09 in front of a full house for the home club's debut. I like the paintings on the walls both inside and outside the ground. The quirk factor has to be the locals, seem nice enough but can't understand a word they say. This also appears to surface on threads involving Talbot as well This place still serves mushy peas and chips?

CityDave Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Auchinleck Talbot 7-0 Fort William, very lucky to snap some of the goals in this as well. All started of so brightly for Fort (in yellow), first 10 minutes being played at a high tempo Talbot (in blue) just hadn't woken up yet, Fort looked in control but could they keep it up? Then oh dear, Talbot caught them in a counter attack while everyone bar the Fort keeper and a defender were in the Talbot half and this player took down the Talbot attacker in the Fort penalty box. Penalty to Talbot and a red card for the Fort defender and the roof caved in on the HL side after that. Damn it Oh dear! Oh deary me! Oh bollocks!

CityDave Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The Falkirk Stadium with some height difference between three stands and the gazebo. I think its funny that in almost every photograph featuring the stadium they try not to have the temp stands in the picture, like they are ashamed of it. Its not the size that counts guys. Where did these temp stands come from?. I remember the first time I went to this ground one of them was behind the goals, home end. Its a nice stadium with a good view of the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The stand at Talbot of course came from the Original Douglas Park, Hamilton. I have family down in Cumnock and as you can imagine they are quite disparaging about Talbot. Cumnock are getting a 3G pitch but their ground isn't as well developed as Auchinleck's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not temp stands, been in a few they see to shift if more than a couple of people move at the same time. But they do fill in empty spaces nicely 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
