Gala Fairydean FC Netherdale, Galashiels Nickname:
The Braw Lads |
| Home colours:
|
| Ground
Details:
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 |

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.
