Favourite quirks of Scottish stadiums.

This pic of Beith Juniors is on the BBC website. That seems to be one heck of a slope on the pitch going by the enclosures and boundary wall in the background.

Ain't called the ski slope for nothin

I think the picture has been flipped over and should look like this.

I didn't know that. It's a bit ridiculous even for junior level.

Lochee's pitch is like the 3D chess board form Star Trek.

United.

That makes more sense now.

It does actually.  That bit between the 'Celtic end' and the main stand where the police would gather at Scotland games.

I couldn't really work It out otherwise, given the era clearly depicted.

I love this photo for some strange reason

I seem to recall someone mentioning about a picture of the temporary stand being used when Celtic Park was being redeveloped.  Apologies if this has already been shown.

That's the (undistorted) view you used to get from the away end before it became all-seated. Except for the rugby posts of course.

When you came up from the turnstiles at that end, it felt like you still had a half-mile hike to get anywhere near the pitch.  Superb.

I remember being sat across from that at a Scotland game back in the late 90's.  Think it was against Austria. It looked fucking daft.

If you were sitting at the back on the far side of that white wall, could you see any of the pitch?

It's Parkhead they don't concern themselves with such trivialities

You should apologise for infesting this magnificent thread with a picture of the bigotfest, Scotland's shame.
