amnarab Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Always thought Stewarton was ideally situated for a WOSL Club. On train line from Glasgow to Kilmarnock. Several smaller villages on bus route nearby. Not sure about the amateur set up or ground availability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly is your issue with ground sharing? Or is it because Clydebank groundshare. I’m not denying that’s my suspicion. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards to Clydebank they at least a co-tenants in a 3 way split. St Cadocs just rent a pitch, Drumchapel playing out a sports centre where dressing rooms etc...non compliant i.e. not enough showers no toilets etc...according to a couple of club committee guys I have spoke too. How much do the likes of a Talbot, Pollok etc...spend on maintaining there facilities each season on top of paying for lets for training. The donald dewar is simply not an appropriate venue for this level of football. That is nothing to do with the club the blame lies with the league. Clydebank have ground shared over 20 years. Seemingly only becoming noticeable recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewarton United applied a couple of years back however the ground was knocked back as it was unsuitable. No spectator areas at the astro pitch they play at I think was the issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, I forgot that famously clubs that hire a ground get it for a tenner an hour. I assume in your world this applies to anyone renting their ground, whether they're renting it from another club, the council or a trust? So Beith are gonners too? Quote Drumchapel playing out a sports centre where dressing rooms etc...non compliant i.e. not enough showers no toilets etc...according to a couple of club committee guys I have spoke too. Which suggests you're slagging a place you've never even been. Another toilets myth. Ok, they're not gold-plated, but there are toilets at Drumchapel. Whoever told you that presumably didn't care that they didn't know. Quote The donald dewar is simply not an appropriate venue for this level of football. That is nothing to do with the club the blame lies with the league. You like stating opinions as though they're facts. The real facts are, Drumchapel have pitchside standing against a rail, some cover and a few chairs. They have catering by the pitch. They've risen very quickly so there are a lot of grounds in their division that are much better, but what they offer is at least on a par with places like Wishaw, Newmains, Bellshill and Royal Albert, among others. The addition of higher advertising boards and a row of flags on poles has made it feel more enclosed too.

Sergeant Wilson Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 3 minutes ago, leaguereformer said: Issue with Drumchapel as reported. I have been to the DD a couple of times so witnessed some of the issues myself. Others have been reported by visiting teams. No tiered standing. Only toilets provided was two standard portaloos and one disabled portaloo. Players have no toilets in changing rooms. Players can't fit in one dressing room. Crowd barrier too high. No crowd barrier behind either goals, fans need to walk along side of pitch to get to other side. Unless you stand at front or 7foot tall you wont see. There is a generator at the burger van where fumes are blowing into the "new stand" making it unbearable. Poor quality plastic pitch. No committee room etc... No seating area Long walk for referees and players back to the sports centre for dressing rooms No tannoy system That is just a few Aye, but apart from that... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
