Was just about to post that worst I have ever seenCowan park Barrhead had at least one pitch on a hill.
Ridiculous
The old Palace grounds in Hamilton had some pitches with crazy slopes too.Was just about to post that worst I have ever seen
Yes spot on. You could only see the crossbar at the other end when you were in the opposite pen area. Classic.Cowan park Barrhead had at least one pitch on a hill.
Ridiculous
THAT reminds me of the pitches at South Pollok, the ones behind the old Bellarmine school ( roughly where the M77 runs by the Pollok Shopping Centre )
Is this in Barrhead?
Now there's a name from the past. played school game there, John Connolly, later St Johnstone played that dayCowan park Barrhead had at least one pitch on a hill.
Ridiculous
Glenmanor park in Moodiesburn was the exact shape as that although not as steep.
I remember green road now.As a youngster I played a few games on a pitch at Green Road Paisley. As I remember you could not see all of the other goal from the opposite end, there was a hill in the middle. Even worse was the smell from "The Bone Works" Talk about home advantage!
Beith Juniors?
They used to change it every couple of years by turning the parks round until they built the Astro parks , but you are spot on about the slope, the parks on Milton road where the new school is was the very same.If anyone has ever played at Saughton In Edinburgh there’s a pitch there that must be about 6 foot downhill from left to right.
I thought they were all the exact shape.Glenmanor park in Moodiesburn was the exact shape as that although not as steep.
I’m sure played on something similar when in the Boys Brigade
Were they green grassy ones¿When I was in the BB we used to play on pitches in Thornliebank (behind the chapel) that you couldn't see on goal from the other (ok we were wee!!) and if you were winning with five minutes to go you could just blooter the ball out of the park.
it had slopes on the slopes
I used to play here with Hollywood Boys Club. Rolled ma eyes when told we were on the far away pitchTHAT reminds me of the pitches at South Pollok, the ones behind the old Bellarmine school ( roughly where the M77 runs by the Pollok Shopping Centre )
