Brian Weir sends in this view of Saltcoats' ground

Entry to Campbell Park is in one corner. Saltcoats Vics have a small, long enclosure which can hold about 100 people in front of the portakabin changing rooms on the coastal side of the ground. The rest of the ground comprises of decaying wooden terraces. There is no social club but there is a small pie hut where the usual items are sold. The pies are good. This is yet another Ayrshire ground that lies beneath a railway line.
