Capacity: 2000

Two views of Merson Park from Graeme McGinty

Merson Park is pretty much undeveloped, with only the dugouts and the mesh fence around it preventing it from just being a park pitch.

Social Club: Unknown

Club Information:

Rovers were one of the top sides in the old Scotscoup North League which briefly became a feeder for the top flight of North Junior football. Another change has seen the Scotscoup League become the 3rd tier, with Buckie Rovers one of four sides from that league who elected to play in the combined set-up. However, Rovers withdrew from the 2004-05 season after only a couple of games.

Two views of the Deveronside ground from Graeme McGinty

The playing area is fenced off by a metal railing, while the ground itself borders Princess Royal Park, home of Deveronvale. A 5-a-side court is at one end and at the other is the clubhouse and changing rooms. The park can benefit from Deveronvale's floodlights in winter!

Social Club: Unknown

Club Information:

Deveronside are the town of Banff's second team. They actually became a part of Deveronvale FC a few years ago, although the link is fairly tenuous, with little or no player exchanges.

They took the decision, very late in the day, to have non-playing membership of the SJFA for season 2006-07. As it stands, they'll re-enter North Junior Football in August 2007, in the North Region Second Division.
