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.
