Cosmic Joe Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'm hoping that Ernie, whoever he is, doesn't mind me sharing this. Bayview Park in 1929... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawB93 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I know the bus at NDP has been mentioned but how about the shed (rip)? More to the point, we still don't know what was in it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni team used to use it for training, very good pitch. Think they have just relayed the hockey pitch recently aswell. Meggetland always a good place to play all sport. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Craig Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I like it. This thread needs more etymology. Continuing the grammatical theme, how about ground names that feature a palindrome? Hannah Park, home of Shotts Bon Accord is one that springs to mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got as far as knocking down the old clubhouse when the property market collapsed and everything fell through which is why they're still in the Portakabins shown in your picture. The Grange Cricket Club are currently holding them to ransom/demanding a fair price (depending on who you believe) for a thin strip of land that they need to go ahead with the project. The Grange pavilion/stand looks about as quirky as anything so far on this thread. They stick up temporary stands when they're hosting bigger Scotland games. Much bigger inside than you'd imagine, used to be a decent bar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somerset stil has a couple of enclosures at the front of the stand, one for home fans and one for away fans, depending on numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meggetland 3G is used by Edinburgh City U20s in the Lowland & East of Scotland U20s... I think it was used by Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale U20s in the same league, last season. 4 hours ago, Monkey Tennis said: None of this 'close that section of the ground while work is ongoing' nonsense.
