Archie McSquackle Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Disgusted by the lack of Central Park in the top 30. The only ground in Scotland to have a gravestone (I imagine). Give me this over sitting in a 1 stand stadium anyday. Yes it's a shit hole but it's my shit hole. You can get a cracking view from the terracing and the noise that can be generated in the old stand is fantastic. Is it the only wooden stand left in Scottish football? It's not changed a bit [emoji38] Ayr a deserved winner though. The main stands at Firhill, Fir Park and I think Tannadice as well are all still wooden. I'm sure there will be a few others as well. Possibly Pittodrie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clearly made of steel beams. The facings were built with brick. The original seats were wooden, but that was common everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I'm no football snob but I would say stenhousemuir is a better ground to watch football than Ayr or Central Park. Every view in Cowdenbeath is obscured plus you have the rigmarole of the track and the ball going out of play all the time. I've enjoyed watching the ball boys more than the football at times. It's probably the worst footballing arena in Scotland, including most juniors. Ayr is ok but there's no running water and the view isn't great. Morton is shit unless you are in wde.

Anyway, I'll do the honours for the Glebe: Can't find a photo of it, but a little known fact is that the top corner of the main stand has a little house for one of the supporters' cat . Thought that was Wimbledon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst offenders being Ayr and Morton. In reality they are just like reliving your youth from a time best left in the past. They have no place in 2018 Scottish football Somerset Park isn't particularly historic; Station Park offers a far better seaside league ground that is actually maintained.
