amnarab Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Always thought Stewarton was ideally situated for a WOSL Club. On train line from Glasgow to Kilmarnock.

leaguereformer Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Surely unless a space becomes available or if clubs fail to meet an improved standard and are kicked out, no other teams should be allowed in without own compliant ground etc....no more of the ground sharing nonsense. -1 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...

I’m not denying that’s my suspicion. Nothing to do with Clydebank, on a financial fair play stance how can you think it does not give clubs advantage by not having/maintaining there own facility. 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
