Booker-T Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 3 hours ago, TheScarf said: Inverness City and Inverness Shinty Club both have pitches on Bught Park. That's probably as close as you'll get to a football-shinty ground share. What does the stand area look onto, shinty or football? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverness SC have played there since the 30's or 40's. Inverness City only got Lister Park created within Bught park about 3 seasons ago after leading a nomadic existence which latterly saw them play their home games at the Northern Meeting park along the road, sharing the pitch with Northern Counties CC I believe. Edit - On Google Maps, you can see the home and away changing rooms at Lister Park as the two white buildings to the east of the shinty pitch.

Only ended up on the kit because the board had pissed off cr smith a few months before. even now there are still some bhigots that think the irish flag is green, white and gold. ... Anyway, a club named Celtic should have some blue on a kit (and red, and orange) and great linky by @jagfox99 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The shinty. Inverness SC have played there since the 30's or 40's. Inverness City only got Lister Park created within Bught park about 3 seasons ago after leading a nomadic existence which latterly saw them play their home games at the Northern Meeting park along the road, sharing the pitch with Northern Counties CC I believe. Edit - On Google Maps, you can see the home and away changing rooms at Lister Park as the two white buildings to the east of the shinty pitch. There is a couple of shinty pitches with football connections.Oban Saints FC play some home games at Mossfield including their summer tournament.And the Bught is back to back with the junior pitch as mentioned above.Plenty of shinty pitches have football goals at the side for school games etc. Like Taynuilt.But no proper ground shares as such. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The away end, the end to the right of where the TV gantry is now (the TV cameras used to be at the opposite side above the old jungle) was the end given to away fans and usually filled by Rangers fans when they visited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to reverse search it to figure that one out. All that land around the Piggery, plus the special dispensation to build above a cemetery was granted to Ra Sellick for the princely sum of £1. Great value for money acquired by Glasgow City Council I am sure you will agree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye the Gnu Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Once upon a time, an unknown Ayr lawyer was offered a whole Premiership football club for a pound.....hard to believe I know, obviously just a fairy story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Another picture of Celtic Park showing the same end of the stadium as a few posts before, this time before the roof went on. This will have been taken roughly from where the TV cameras sit now, you can see some of the tenement buildings of the old Gallowgate in the background. Guestimate this is late 1950's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
