Andy groundhopper Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Just build the stand for everyone's benefit then, unless you have plans for your own ground, one day ? Guess thats a stock answer to every question: we don't own it, so why bother. You could always install temporary seating/terracing that you can always move elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another stand isn’t going to fix that TBF, given it’s apparently very close to a replica of the current stand and will still be outside the track. Leaving medowbank is the only choice, your never making that place suitable for pro or semi-pro football 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Guess the EoS angle to all the Edinburgh City stuff on this thread is Leith Athletic also playing there? it was obvious from the design of the new Meadownank "stadium" that Edinburgh City were being given a very heavy hint that their presence was not wanted. Think they missed an opportunity for a ground that might have worked out better for them when Tynecastle got the lease for Meggetland. Spartans, Edinburgh City and Bonnyrigg Rose is likely one too many part-time Edinburgh area teams for the SPFL long term and it looks like Tranent are intent on crashing the party. Wouldn't be surprised if Edinburgh City are in the EoS again in about a decade's time. Edited August 15, 2023 by LongTimeLurker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzler Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Noticed some fencing around the proposed site at Pitreavie for Rosyths new park when driving past today. Unsure if this is what it’s actually for but if so looks like work may finally start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/midlothian-football-team-gutted-after-27609678Midlothian football team 'gutted' after 'mindless youths' destroy dugout A Midlothian football club has hit out at ‘mindless’ youths after they destroyed their dugout just weeks after the league season got underway. Arniston Rangers, a Midlothian team based in Gorebridge, took to social media to criticise the vandalism, saying they were "gutted".The club shared a picture of the disgraceful act on social media, writing: "Just as we are starting to get the park up to league standard, this happens. Gutted to say the least." In pictures posted online show the plastic covering of the dugout - where the coaching staff and substite players sit during the game - with huge holes in them, seemingly punched through or destroyed by a heavy object. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some fundraising of course (my own hunner quid went into the stand fund ) and East Lothian Council seem to be more sport focussed than Edinburgh City Council 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
