Ground Details:
The
Ardeer Stadium is set back off the main road through Stevenston and has turnstiles
at either end of the venue (one off the main road and another that is accessed
through a housing estate). A covered stand that holds a few hundred runs up one
half of the pitch to where the changing rooms and pavilion is. Here a kiosk can
be found selling the usual snacks and drinks. The ground is in an oval shape although
there is only a cinder track, and stepped concrete terracing surrounds the pitch.
The ground's oval shape dates back to the time that it was used by another Junior
club, Ardeer Recreation, who were funded by ICI. The stadium was used not just
for football but for athletics as well. At one time the track was lined for racing.
The nearby Stevenston High School (now also no more) held their annual sports
days at the ground. The surrounding area, now a housing estate, had a cricket
pitch, hockey pitches, more football pitches & tennis courts. Social Club: unknown |
