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

Club Information:
Johnstone have a home support of around 200. An OVD Cup tie between Burgh and Glenafton in February 2000 attracted a 2000 plus gate. The ladies toilets are excellent apparently. Most members of the club's committee are under 40 (mid 20s to mid 30s) which would make it the youngest committee in the juniors. The club also has 150 season ticket holders and take around 100 fans away from home. Home fans congregate behind the dugouts and by the turnstiles.

Record attendance: 14,000 v Greenock in 1964. JB won the cup that year.

Main rivals are Renfrew.

2001 population: Johnstone 16468
