A nice sheltered venue (Broadwood take note...). There is a large enough covered enclosure, and behind one goal is the changing facilities. Cumbernauld Village seems to perch precariously above Guys Meadow which itself lies at the edge of woodland. Supporters can only stand on two sides of the ground. There is a well-stocked pie stall, although the fayre is terrible. Social Club: |

| Ground Details:
Craighead Park is an odd ground. The high-roofed stand structure is quite small, holding a few hundred, and the terracing mainly consists of very steep grass banking, although one end seems to have no boundary as it rises into a mini-mountain before disappearing into a forest. Surely there is a means of getting free admission from here? At the opposite end is a small section of terracing, next to the social club. The terrace continues onto the side opposite the stand.

| Maryhill FC Lochburn Park, Lochburn Road, Maryhill Nickname:
The Hill | ||||
Home colours:
 Change
colours:  | ||||
| Ground Details:
A compact ground that is devilishly hidden at the top of a hill off Lochburn Road, a red and black gate is the main entrance. Inside the ground is a health club (entry on non-matchdays is via the turnstiles!) and shop selling the usual club merchandise and fantastic pies. The pitch itself is sunk six feet below the terracing - a somewhat bizarre site. A covered terrace runs down one side of the ground and is bisected by the players tunnel. Behind the goal opposite to the turnstiles is a brand-new section of multicoloured open bucket seating, built in time for season 1998-99. The health club is strangely positioned at the halfway line but its overhanging roof provides extra cover for anyone caught in a heavy downpour on the wrong side of the pitch. Lochburn Park is also one of the few grounds in the juniors to have floodlights. Social Club: Yes | ||||

Ravenscraig Stadium is located at the back of the town of Greenock and is part of a council-owned complex. Although the bench-seated main stand ia a little tatty, it does provide a decent - if not a little distant - vantage point to watch the game. Entry is via a gate to the right of the stand. Supporters can stand around the edge though the view from there is quite remote. Social Club: |

The Bon Accord |
Home colours:
Change colours:  |
| Ground Details:
With the largest playing surface in Scotland, watching football at Hannah Park seems like a slightly remote experience. The big covered enclosure probably provides the best view of the park while behind the end opposite to the social club is a bit of curved terracing that seems so far away from the other end of the pitch that you might as well be at another game. Facing the enclosure is yet more stepped terracing (along with both dugouts) and behind the remaining goal is another section of curved terracing. The social club was refurbished recently and is superb. Hannah Park also has a set of floodlights that are rarely used. If the funding can be obtained, the pitch is to be moved in order to build a 5-a-side pitch next to the social club. The enclosure will then be relocated to the other side of the park and a seated stand constructed in its current place Social Club: There is an excellent social club |

The Vale |
Home colours: 
Change colours:  |
| Ground Details:
A relic from a previous time, Millburn Park is 'a bit of a dump'. There is a pie stand at the pavilion (which looks like a blockhouse in Kosovo), but the pitch however is superb. There once was a huge covered enclosure, but half of the roof has since gone missing - and therefore doesn't provide much sanctuary in a gale. All four sides are concrete step terraced.
