Ground Details:


Millburn Park from Stephen McMurray


Millburn Park on Scottish Junior Cup Semi Final Day (April 2009, Clydebank vs. Pollok) from Jamie Wire

Capacity: 3000
Seats: none
Cover: Yes

A relic from a previous time, Millburn Park is 'a bit of a dump'. There is a pie stand at the pavilion (which looks like a blockhouse in Kosovo), but the pitch however is superb. There once was a huge covered enclosure, but half of the roof has since gone missing - and therefore doesn't provide much sanctuary in a gale. All four sides are concrete step terraced.

Social Club: unknown

Club Information:
Vale once were members of the Scottish League... sort of. The current club is not really connected with that side, although the name and ground are the same. There was also another Vale of Leven playing Junior football while the Scottish League side were in existance.

2001 population: Alexandria 13444
