Netherdale from 'LLD'


The Netherdale stand from Blue1870

Actually finding Netherdale is no mean feat in itself. Galashiels has a curious one way system that can fox anyone who lacks the vital local knowledge. Once at the dark and gloomy end of the town, two sports venues can be found. One is Gala RUFC, a much finer ground with a neat, trim main stand and the other -next door - is an ominous and grey. The concrete grandstand at Netherdale was built in the 60s and has been described as something one might have found in the USSR ten years ago at a lower-league club. It is in fact a listed building, although someone recently quipped that the only list it should appear on is that of the local demolition contractor. That said, the wooden benches do provide a good view and the club maintain their stand well. The changing rooms are cramped and the Gala floodlights are rusting away. The terracing consists of grass banking and a wooden fence is all that keeps the 'hoards' off the pitch.

Social Club: unknown

Club Information:

The Dean's support is poorer than one might expect - varying from a few dozen against the sides from outwith the immediate area to 100 against some of the the Borders sides.

Recreation Park from George Mirashvili


Recreation Park (with changing rooms in background) from Marko A

This isn't so much of a ground as a local park. Recreation Park is quite open and is surrounded by a mesh fence and a hedgerow. The terracing is nothing more than an extention of the field that surrounds the ground on a few sides, with the hedge and perimeter railing separating it from the playing surface. A new covered stand was erected by the local council last season and it is properly terraced. However, it only holds around 40.

Social Club: unknown

Club Information:

Ormiston Primrose (from the East juniors) and East of Scotland side Pencaitland merged in the close season of 1998-1999 to form Pencaitland & Ormiston FC, and the new side elected to play at Ormiston rather than the troublesome pitch at Easter Pencaitland. Another reason for playing at Ormiston is that their ground will be easier to upgrade for Scottish Cup participation (they hope to get in eventually). The club dropped the 'Pencaitland' name to become Ormiston FC in 2002. Crowds number around 30.

Ormiston can qualify for the Scottish Cup, but only by winning the East of Scotland Premier Division.

Getting There

From Prestonpans station: head straight through Tranent (LRT service X86 or 26A to get into Tranent). There is an SMT bus into Ormiston from Tranent, I don't know which number, but it will have Pencaitland as the final destination. From Tranent police station, follow the road round the curve and up Ormiston Road. Follow this road for about 2 miles and you will come into Ormiston. Follow the road through the village until you reach the school. The park is now facing you. For car parking, turn right beside the school.
