Can't think of another ground apart from Celtic Park and Tannadice that has this. I think we should find out how much it is for naming rights, and consider all chipping in, with a P&B poll deciding the name. Imagine Richard Gordon on Sportsound. "There's been a goal in the Livingston-Montrose game - over to Derek Ferguson at the Standuptowipe Stadium". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not quite at montroses level just yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 The invalid cars of the 1970s were rather quirky too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was still there at least in 1971, first time I went. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but IIRC it was in a poor state, possibly due to storm damage. The other "quirk" in those days was the high wall that run the length of the pitch on the Shed side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityDave Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Because its the home ground of Queen's Park I really should have mentioned Hampden Park as one of the grounds with the corners filled in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 That Livi night club sounds class. Had a similar feeling when I went into the Wee Rangers Club before our league games there, downstairs was quite dark, tunes on, people dancing... Was great, only downside was the choice of songs although Penny Arcades a belter, Simply The Best was a good sing song too, minus the Addy on bits 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is this site http://www.invernessthistlefc.co.uk/ The ground was between Broadstone Avenue and Kingsmill Road where there is now the Kingsmills Care Home. The houses in the same block where the ground was stand out as new builds in among much older buildings that make up this part the Crown/Kingsmills area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Am I right in saying that Caley's ground isn't/wasn't that far away from Clach's? Never got the chance to visit either Caley or Thistle's grounds sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I like the filled in corners at Livingston's 'What-ever-its-called-this-season Stadium'. Can't think of another ground apart from Celtic Park and Tannadice that has this. Look at the state of the seats in the corners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I went to Hermes v Auchinleck in the Scottish Cup last season. In order to get to their ground you have to walk through an industrial estate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where they originally got some of the seats for the stadium as many were sun bleached. They had been yellow at some point in their life, maybe discarded from another football stadium, don't know many that would have a large number of sun bleached yellow ones. Shrewsbury, Watford, Cambridge Utd, Boston Utd??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
