Allegedly the current committee have agreed to sell the land to the council for housing.
Whatever anyone's thoughts are on the club, after nearly a hundred years at Dunterlie it would be a sad day for their community.
Where are they going to move to?

Grew up in ‘Borrheid’ and stood on that terrace 100s of times. Played, and won my first final at Dunterlie as a kid
Doon the bottom scheme!!
They both deserve one another.
So true. I now go to follow Beith if I am not watching Rangers because of a family member was let badly down by some on the board. Went to Dunterlie last year for the first time in years last season and its falling apart. The score in my final was 5-2 incidentallyWe fu.cked the local bigot factory 5 - 2 many years ago there in a cup final and yours truly scored.
A Barrhead institution which has been let down by a variety of rogues.
Doon the bottom scheme!!

Imagine it will be an experience for visitors going to a game in the scheme.
Used to be like entering a parallel universe.
Me tooI remember going to watch Talbot play there in a Junior cup game that was all ticket
I played a final there when Auchenback lost 1-0 to Cross Arthurlie. Massive occasion for us kids.Grew up in ‘Borrheid’ and stood on that terrace 100s of times. Played, and won my first final at Dunterlie as a kid
I was never involved but the local gangs from my era were the Bowery from Bower Walls (?) and the Skull from Auchenback. The Neilston gangs were the Panda and the Young Neil. It’s funny how you remember these things from nearly 50 years ago. Reading this thread it makes my old heart proud that there are still good Bears in Nulson and BorrheidLived up the road from the ground in 67 (yes I know) watched Arthurlie quite a few times. Still look for their results. Did P4 at Arthurlie.
If memory serves there were quite a few battles between the Bowery Boys and the Neilston Gang (can't remember their name)

Dirty bastards have been trying this for years. Obviously managed to place sympathetic people on the board now. My old man stopped going after being involved with Arthurlie most of his life because of the way it's being run now.Soon to be no more.

I played when Cross Arthurlie beat Auchenback 5-2 in the summer cup final. Must have been 1989 or something.I played a final there when Auchenback lost 1-0 to Cross Arthurlie. Massive occasion for us kids.
Painted that cowshed back in the day. Also the goalposts
If they take the Astro and the hall away. There is at least double the land around it so plenty of room. There used to be a football pitch there when I lived in there. I am sure any visitors to the scheme will receive a warm Borrheid welcome.That’s mental. The current ground is across the road from the railway station and the main bus route to Paisley and Neilston. That’s why they were quite well supported by people outside the town, an easy ground to get to.
Where down the bottom scheme? At the old Astro turf pitch that was always getting wrecked. No pints at half time then.
As a Neilston man, that gives me any excuse for an old joke.
There are only 3 words in the English language that have the letters “rrh” together: gonorrhoea, diarrhoea and Barrhead.
Occasionally go to support Arthurlie. Hope the ground isn’t sold.

4000 capacity maybe in the 50,s H & S wouldn’t allow anywhere near that
Did the council not pay for the new boundary wall a few years back , like any junior club if you move your basically fkd , the “ problems “ at the social club and bad manager choices have come home to roost
I agree mate it is in the best place where it is. You have all the transport links and for locals and visitors plenty of pubs [ one that you and I know well ] and BCs nearby. To take it down to the scheme would be crazy. There would be nothing nearby. I would hope the supporters put a stop to it.But J , they are perfectly located where they are. Station, bus stops and a choice of 2 pubs for pre, post and HT entertainment.
Even Borrheid folk will receive a warm welcome down there !!!!!
I am sure there was a cup game v Kilbirnie 70's and there was 7000 thereThere were 15k in there against Ashfield on the 60s, Talbot all ticket game in the 80s was 4500, and there was a Pollok cup QF in the 80/90s with 6000.
Pretty sure Celtic put in a protest even back in the day regarding the pitch which was called the Humph.That would be the same Arthurlie who one knocked Celtic out of the Scottish Cup?
I had to steal this for Facebook!As a Neilston man, that gives me any excuse for an old joke.

Haha. No problem. I can’t take credit for it I’m afraid. Just bear in mind that there are actually quite a few more than 3 words that have rrh together!I had to steal this for Facebook!

Barrhead has failed the 'lie, financially & otherwise since I started going in 1986. We can't afford to upgrade this smashing wee ground. Watched Beith v Talbot today. Both deserve huge credit for what they've achieved with community & business support.Soon to be no more.
