Tinto Park is has perhaps seen better days. The large covered enclosure is perforated with holes in the roof but is in immaculate condition compared to the rest of the ground. Opposite the covered terracing and behind the south end goal is a large bank of stepped terracing that has completely disintegrated into the earth below. There is a section of newer terracing at the turnstiles.

Club Information:
A club with a small home support (varying between 60 - 130) that play in the shadow of Ibrox although 1500 turned up in January 2000 for a game with Kilwinning Rangers. The club really struggled in 2002-03 financially and went through a string of managers. The future is sadly very uncertain for this historically big club.

Kingshill Park from the Thorniewood United website

A fairly undeveloped ground that has proved problematic to Wanderers in recent years, leading to the club living up to their name. A season at Carluke preceded by stints at Carnwath public park were forced upon the club when Kingshill Park proved unusable a few years back. They recently built a new clubhouse, which also houses a tea bar.

Five views of Ravenscraig Stadium from Tony Collins

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 Masonic Association on Auchmead Road is treated by the club as such, with players and officials hospitality held here.

Keanie Park from Tom Ferrie


Keanie Park from Jamie Wire

The main feature of the well-kept ground is the covered enclosure opposite the terraced side where the home support congregates. It probably holds a couple of hundred. Behind both goals are sections of grass banking, while more cover can be found next to the pie-stall which is inside the club's main building.

The nearest pub is the Thorn Inn, but Coanes' in the town centre is where to drink.

Burgh have plans to relocate to a new ground at the Thomas Shanks Memorial Park, just off Beith Road, sometime soon.

Social Club: There is no social club

Club Information:
Johnstone have a home support of around 200. An OVD Cup tie between Burgh and Glenafton in February 2000 attracted a 2000 plus gate. The ladies toilets are excellent apparently. Most members of the club's committee are under 40 (mid 20s to mid 30s) which would make it the youngest committee in the juniors. The club also has 150 season ticket holders and take around 100 fans away from home. Home fans congregate behind the dugouts and by the turnstiles.

Record attendance: 14,000 v Greenock in 1964. JB won the cup that year.

Greenfield Park from the Thorniewood United website


Greenfield Park from Stephen McMurray

The ground is right on the street and has turnstiles at either end of the pitch. Two covered stands (in differing levels of disrepair) are separated by the half way line changing rooms. A tea bar can be found on the west wall of the changing rooms. There is some neat concrete stepped terracing that surrounds the remainder of the ground and surprisingly isn't in as much disrepair as the two enclosures. One thing that should be noted is that Greenfield Park sits at the top of a hill. Opposite the two stands the terracing is wide open and is prone to getting a freezing wind blowing up from the Campsie fells and the railway line.

Social Club: There used to be a social club at the ground - it may no longer exist

Provanmill Park from the Thorniewood United website


Tony Collins sends in extra views of St. Roch's


A selection of photos from Stuart Brown

Provanmill Park is pretty basic, with the only cover being an extension in front of the social club's roof. The social club, described by a visiting neutral fan as 'stepping into an East End pub' has luminous green facings and is right behind one of the goals. The ground has a few lines of tidy concrete terracing that wrap around the pitch, with one end just being grassed, and the whole venue is overshadowed by the several blocks of high flats that loom high above the park.

After vacating their original Recreation Field ground in 1991 to cover debts, Wishaw moved in with Coltness United (now Newmains United) and remained at Victoria Park until 1999 when they moved to Wishaw Sports Centre, but after many problems with the pitch, double-bookings and the club folding briefly as a result of these issues, they were back at Victoria Park in 2002.
