He might also be surprised to know the track was built on streets of former miners cottages, a railway goods yard n railway station. The park was only isolated when all were knocked doon post war. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Not Scotland, but this non-league club in Slovakia doesn't just have a railway close to the ground, they have one running THROUGH the ground. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweep Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 On 27/03/2023 at 20:28, Hillonearth said: I walked up to it last time I was at a game there - the way the buses ran I had about an hour to kill before kickoff. The footprint of the stand's still there and there's the shell of some building I think might have been the changing rooms. Worth visiting for sure, although inevitably it started absolutely pishing it down on the way back down the hill. Played there in the late sixties and early seventies . Loved it big bath and open fire . As a young man it was great to be playing at these parks. I remember a lurcher chasing a rabbit across the park during the game . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Pennel Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Brilliant, Sweep ! I also remember clearing the snow off the lines before the game. In late April / early May. The compensation for that was that the ladies had a great big pot of home made soup going all the time. Good soup. And...rolls with mince. Not joking...lovely bread rolls filled with mince. Eh,...you've got me worried now that the dug might've caught the wabbit. Where did they get the mince again ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurcer Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Something strangely evocative about Millburn Park. One of my favourite places to visit. I’ve also watched a few cricket matches next door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
