Must have taken a hell of a long time to get out of the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to find anything nice and quirky about new modern stadiums, many nice ones still to grow a personality but not much in the way of quirky. Loss of quirky football grounds further down the leagues, some of these Junior grounds are something else. Lochee Utd for example probably set the bar when it comes to quirkyness. I was curious to find out about them after you mentioned so I looked it up and found this. Quirky indeed. I like how the social club backs on to the main stand, which itself looks like it's behind the goal. I also like the hill in th far corner of the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pitch has more levels than a Star Trek chess board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a whole lot of improvement going on there. The jungle has never looked better. Is that what was left after the SFA allowed the rangers fans in for a scottish semi final? Cant remember the year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's football - but it clearly says GR-FC which would be rugby; but it isn't Gala RFC's stand. Gala Rugby Football Club moved from the old Netherdale (currently the football ground in season 61/62) and Gala Fairydean took over the old rugby ground. As the current football stand wasn't built until 1964 they would have used the old rugby stand for a few seasons. You can clearly see Eidon Hill in the background in both of your pics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Interesting, I didn't know that. They could at least have gone up on a ladder and painted the R into an F . Did wonder at it being the same hill and presume it's a mill below the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornton Hibs park used to have a big slope, playing there as a goalie felt like corners could just be dinked in. steelend also used to have a slope, it also had a 'gulley' about half way into the bottom half, seen boys running at full pelt down the slope then hit this even steeper slope within a slope and the legs couldn't keep up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
