Keanie Park from Tom Ferrie




 Keanie
Park from Jamie Wire
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.
