A selection of Volunteer Park views from Tony Collins

The large enclosure down one side and terracing behind one goal and one side are original from 1920-30's senior side's days. Opposite the covered enclosure is the ubiquitous crumbling concrete open side so common in the Juniors. There are the usual refreshment facilities onhand.

Social Club: There is no social club

Club Information:
Armadale Thistle's Volunteer Park once hosted league football, from 1921-32. Back then the club was plainly known as Armadale. The industrial depression of that time - with the collapse of the Lothian collieries and shale oil industries - was the catalyst that saw the end of Armadale's league status.

Thistle tend to attract crowds of way less than 100 these days, but of course that rises when opponents bring a crowd with them.

Ground Details:

Capacity: 2000

Cover: yes (fair-sized)

The Canniepairt is one of my favourite grounds in Junior football, I must say, despite the fact that only three sides of the ground can be used - one end is a very large hedge. There is a big stand that runs down one half of the pitch, while right in the corner of the ground is the club's changing room block. A teabar and toilets can also be found here. The remaining two sides of the ground are different again; the side is banked grass, backed with more trees, while the other end is completely open, and is hard-standing.


The Canniepairt from Tony Collins

Social Club: Unknown

Club Information:
Tayport have a core support of around 150 for home games (although it can be a bit higher) and have a large travelling support as well (a good busload for most matches). As detailed below, they have enjoyed phenominal success to date. They only joined the Juniors in 1990. Incidentally, the sides who pipped them to the titles of 1997 and 1998 were the now defunct St. Joseph's (by 3pts) and Dundee North End (by 2pts). 2006-07 was Tayport's worst ever Junior season, going by league position.
