Glasgow grounds:	Can't Post or Reply Privately

I'm up in Scotland next weekend, for the Queens Park supporterers Sixes, with the Dulwich Hamlet Supporters' Team. This is on the Saturday.
So on Friday & Sunday I'm free. If it's raining I'll do museums and galleries. But if dry I'll try & get some more photos of grounds. I've done a lot of them now, on my previous visits:

Published- Arthurlie; Ashfield; Benburb; Blantyre Victoria; Glasgow Perthshire; Johnstone Burgh; Maryhill Juniors; Neilston Juniors; Petershill; Pollock; Rutherglen Glencairn; Shettleston Juniors; Third Lanark (remains of Caithkin Park); Vale of Clyde; Yoker Athletic.
not published yet, but have pictures: Cambuslang Rangers; East Kilbride Thistle; Kirkintilloch Rob Roy.

So with people on this section of the forum being far more knowledgable than I ever will be, can you please suggest any remaining ones for me to snap, preferably with a ground address, so I can check it on my Glasgow A to Z.

Also happy for people to suggest other venues, non-football to snap...maybe rugby grounds? I've been to the cricket ground in Partick.

I intend to use a Roundabout train ticket, so anything within those borders, please.

Also, is there such a thing as a one day bus pass for the Glasgow area?

Anything with a railed off pitch at least will keep me happy.

In anticipation, thank you!

Grounds visited: 614
Last new ground: The Spartans FC; Ainslie Park Stadium, Edinburgh, Scotland.(East of Scotland League)
Last game: Friday 14th June. Edinburgh Royal Hospital 2, Western Infirmary, Glasgow 3-at The Spartans FC. (Friendly)

Hope you have a successful visit up here Mishi.

First of all, a couple of corrections though:
1. It's POLLOK, please, not Pollock which is a fish. We're a bit sensitive about that - hope you understand.
2. CATHKIN Park, not Caithkin

Having got that off my chest, the Glasgow Junior grounds you have missed are:
St Anthony's - McKenna Park, Fulbar Road G51 4HU
St Roch's - Provanmill Park, 713 Royston Road G21 2DT
and the others missing from within the area you have already covered are:
Renfrew Juniors - Western Park, Inchinnan Road, Renfrew, PA4 8NG
Thorniewood United - Robertson Park, Old Edinburgh Road, Uddingston, G71 6HQ

Not sure how easily you'll find it to get access for photos, especially now the season is over. Best of luck though.

After that you'd need to travel further afield to Kilsyth, Cumbernauld, Lanark, Larkhall/Royal Albert, Greenock, Port Glasgow, Alexandria (Vale of Leven), Newmains, Wishaw, etc

Awa' and bile yer heid, ya Sassenach!

Clyde's former ground at Shawfield, Rutherglen is worth a visit.

I'd say Vale of Leven and Larkhall are the best of the ones you have still to visit - both handy for the trains. Clydebank and Duntocher Hibs old ground at Duntocher is also really good.

St Anthony's is a new ground with no spectator facilities. Difficult to get into and no good for photos unless you can get in.

St Rochs is not bad and you can get decent photos without having to get into the ground - not the nicest area, however.

Thank you everyone for your help...though the weather forecast is heavy rain all weekend in Glasgow, so I don't know how many, if any, grounds I will get to photograph, as it's not ideal to take pictures of grounds in the rain.

If I don't get to any of them at least i have the details for next year!

Re: [Mishi] Glasgow grounds: [In reply to]	Can't Post or Reply Privately

A couple of points,

Firstly here is the local google satellite map , where you can see all grounds.

Question --- is it the old Glencairn ground ( now M74 motorway), or the new one you have ?

You can see the new indoor outdoor national centre at Toryglen just along from that , just below Hampden.

Then the Caledonian Amateur league clubs all have dedicated grounds .. like Giffnock North .. which you might like.

Scotstoun stadium has recently been upgraded. There are plenty of others. Rossvale Juniors have a ground in Bishopbriggs (north) not yet suitable for SJFA though.

Maybe try and find a local host who has car and spare time ? Try the `pie and bovril` site.

Thank you, I didn't see much in the end, Sunday was nice...but Friday was bloody awful, got soaked through, I could ring my underpants out, after the mid-afternoon storm!

I got two & a half sets of photos.

On Friday I went to two Scottish League grounds, Hamilton Academical; & Airdrie United.
On Sunday I got the bus out to Renfrew, couldn't gain access to the ground, but got a few photos over the top of the wall.

Other than that didn't do much, & didn't get to a womens match, in the end. But did enjoy the new transport museum.

So I stil lhave lots to snap next season...
