The Bens |

| Ground Details: Tinto Park is has perhaps seen better days. The large covered enclosure is perforated with holes in the roof but is in immaculate condition compared to the rest of the ground. Opposite the covered terracing and behind the south end goal is a large bank of stepped terracing that has completely disintegrated into the earth below. There is a section of newer terracing at the turnstiles.

A fairly undeveloped ground that has proved problematic to Wanderers in recent years, leading to the club living up to their name. A season at Carluke preceded by stints at Carnwath public park were forced upon the club when Kingshill Park proved unusable a few years back. They recently built a new clubhouse, which also houses a tea bar. Social Club: |

| Ground Details:
Ravenscraig Stadium is located at the back of the town of Greenock and is part of a council-owned complex. Although the bench-seated main stand ia a little tatty, it does provide a decent - if not a little distant - vantage point to watch the game. Entry is via a gate to the right of the stand. Supporters can stand around the edge though the view from there is quite remote. Social Club: The Masonic Association on Auchmead Road is treated by the club as such, with players and officials hospitality held here. |

| Ground Details:
The main feature of the well-kept ground is the covered enclosure opposite the terraced side where the home support congregates. It probably holds a couple of hundred. Behind both goals are sections of grass banking, while more cover can be found next to the pie-stall which is inside the club's main building. The nearest pub is the Thorn Inn, but Coanes' in the town centre is where to drink. Burgh have plans to relocate to a new ground at the Thomas Shanks Memorial Park, just off Beith Road, sometime soon. Social Club: There is no social club |

| Royal Albert FC Gasworks Park, Raploch Street, Larkhall Nickname:
The Albert |
| Home colours: |
| Ground
Details:
The Albert used to play at Robert Smellie Momorial Park in the town (it has been flattened for a new school) but are now involved in a groundshare with Larkhall Thistle. Albert will be at Gasworks Park until the end of the 2010-11 season, at which point they will be returning to a new ground near to the site of their old home. Entry to Gasworks Park is at either end of the ground, with the home fans tending to come in at the clubhouse end. A covered enclosure runs down just under two thirds of one side and provides cover for a good couple of hundred. All other parts of the ground are pretty much flat grassed areas.

| Shettleston FC Greenfield Park, Old Shettleston Road, Shettleston, Glasgow Nickname:
The Town |
| Home colours: |
| Ground Details:
The ground is right on the street and has turnstiles at either end of the pitch. Two covered stands (in differing levels of disrepair) are separated by the half way line changing rooms. A tea bar can be found on the west wall of the changing rooms. There is some neat concrete stepped terracing that surrounds the remainder of the ground and surprisingly isn't in as much disrepair as the two enclosures. One thing that should be noted is that Greenfield Park sits at the top of a hill. Opposite the two stands the terracing is wide open and is prone to getting a freezing wind blowing up from the Campsie fells and the railway line. Social Club: There used to be a social club at the ground - it may no longer exist |

The Candy Rock |
| Home colours:

| Ground Details:
Provanmill Park is pretty basic, with the only cover being an extension in front of the social club's roof. The social club, described by a visiting neutral fan as 'stepping into an East End pub' has luminous green facings and is right behind one of the goals. The ground has a few lines of tidy concrete terracing that wrap around the pitch, with one end just being grassed, and the whole venue is overshadowed by the several blocks of high flats that loom high above the park.
