Dunterlie Park

Dunterlie Park is confined by its surroundings. One side isn't used at all and the end by the changing rooms is rarely used by either home or away supporters. The other two sides of the ground are lined with concrete stepped terracing and there is a covered enclosure decked out in blue and white paint which is far bigger than it looks at first glance. The turnstiles are behind the railway line end and a snack bar can also be found here selling the usual pies and drinks.

Social Club: Yes (a few hundred yards down the street)

Club Information:
Arthurlie are one of the region's most successful sides of recent times and are always fancied to be in and around the end of season honours. Lie have a healthy following; there is always a good 300 at each game. However, when Pollok come to call, expect crowds well over 500.

Arthurlie as a name has been in Scottish football since the late 19th Century, and it is a name to have been in Senior, Amateur, Intermediate and Junior football. The present side formed in 1930 after the amateur side folded, joining the Intermediate set-up. The Central Region SJFA formed a year later in 1931.

Talbot's ground finally has a completed stand, after years of construction. Opposite the stand erection there was a covered enclosure, which had been there for years. This has now been removed and there is now open terracing.

Behind the goal to the left of the stand (purchased from Hamilton Accies' old Douglas Park ground) is another section of cover. The stand's slow completion has a history though. When it was dismantled at Douglas Park, the parts were carefully numbered for Talbot. However, someone in their infinite wisdom painted over them - leaving one hell of a teasing jigsaw!

The ground has a teabar serving pies and burgers as well as hot and cold drinks.

As of late 2009, there are plans afoot to add floodlights and a new covered enclosure at the halfway point of the open terrace.

Social Club: yes

Club Information:

Talbot have a proud record in Ayrshire Junior football, with seven Scottish Junior Cups wins and since 1920 an impressive twelve league championships. Crowds number at around 2-300, maybe higher, but largely depend on the size of game. Thousands can descend on Beechwood for big Junior Cup ties. They are named after the man who gave them Beechwood Park, Lord Talbot de Maldahide.

The ground is quite hard to find, lying just beyond a five a side pitch on the west side of the town. The clubhouse and refreshments canteen is midway down one side of the ground, with a covered enclosure running beyond that for about 50 yards.The club, as well as re-doing the old cover, added two new sections on the other side of the pitch. The revamped and immaculately maintained Bellsdale Park, even with it's severe slope, is one of the most interesting grounds in Scottish Junior football.

Ground Details:

Capacity: TBC
Seats: none
Cover: none


After a year away from their old stadium Brandon Park, Bellshill moved into New Brandon Park in December 2003, the first game being against Sauchie Juniors in front of 450 fans. A very smart facility, it has a big terrace down one side, and plans are well underway to cover it in its entirety. There are two further open terraces at either end, with the remaining side having dugouts and nothing else. Behind the goal next to the admission gate is a club building that houses the changing rooms, male/female toilets and a teabar, while there is a hospitality area adjacent. However, this facility, while still in existance, is no longer the club's home. In the summer of 2009, the SJFA approved the Sir Matt Busby Sports Complex for their use. This will be the second artificial surface in Junior football as will be known as West End Park.

Social Club: no

Club Information:
Bellshill Athletic were tipped to be one of the emerging sides of the 00s. They had bit of money behind them and attracted ex-Shotts manager Rab Sneddon away from the successful Hannah Park side to take over and lead their own Lanarkshire revolution. Big names Tommy Coyne, John McCormack and Paul McGrillen are all recent managers, however times have been tough of late and the club has been restructured under Paul Fox and his committee.

A film clip of Meadow Park from Jamie Wire

The facilities at Meadow Park are improving. Already a new roof has been put on the stand, the terracing on one side of the ground has been improved and now work has started to build up the terraces on the stand side of the ground, the ultimate aim being to concrete the entire spectator standing area. Meadowed knock down a section of the wall at the Wilson Avenue end of the ground and converted part of the former terracing and a section of the car park into a purpose-built training pitch.

Social Club: There is a bar in the main stand that is open to supporters for a pre-match drink, and sometimes at half-time. Post-match it is players and officials only.

Club Information:

Gates at Meadow Park in 2008-09 seem to be a few hundred in strength, from 200-400 for most games.

Two views of Kilbirnie's Valefield from Brian Weir


A number of Valefield views from Jamie Wire - the portakabin is a hospitality suite while the wood-clad building is a changing rooms block.

Kilbirnie Ladeside's ground is situated at the southern end of the town near the village of Glencarnock. There are two turnstiles, one on the main road and one behind the Glengarnock end goal. The two stands are quite interesting. One is decked out with wooden sleepers for terracing while the other is (like the rest of the ground) concrete stepped. Opposite the two covered enclosures is a small open terrace with the club's hospitality areas also found here. The cheapskate supporter can find many ways of viewing games here for free, either by standing on the large hill that overlooks Valefield or by looking through the mesh fence that surrounds three sides of the ground.

The Ladeside committee have worked hard to spruce up the ground, and believe it is one of the best in the West of Scotland juniors.

Social Club: There is no social club, but Garnock Labour Club is relatively nearby. To get there, turn right at above traffic lights, towards Dalry then 4th on left as you are just about to leave town. Another alternative is the Glendale Arms which is next to Glengarnock station and is popular with supporters.

Club Information:

Ladeside are probably one of the top six clubs in Ayrshire, and are one of the clubs who win trophies now and then. They have a regular and fairly vociferous support of around 150.

The ground is oval because there used to be a blaes athletics track around the pitch when Adamslie Park was used for the Kirkintilloch Highland Games. There's a pie stand on the shed side of the pavilion. Opposite here used to be a small seated stand that was demolished in 2003. There is also a fairly big section of covered terracing by the pavilion that runs down one half of Adamslie Park. Stepped terracing lines the entirety of the ground. In the social club before most home games there's a stall selling club kit and other merchandising goodies.

Adamslie is due to be replaced in the relatively near future.

Two views of Moor Park from 'Grumberry'

Set back off Hyndford Road and hidden behind houses, Moor Park has two terraced stands (one small, one big) next to each other at the halfway point of the pitch. The rest of the ground is surrounded by grass banking that varies on steepness and a couple of rows of stepped terracing (which both go the entire way around). A fair few cars park up at the top of the terracing on matchdays where it's less cold. You can get pies (excellent to my taste), chocolate, cans and bovrill at the pie stall, which is by the main gate.

Two views of Petershill Park from Andrew West


A number of Petershill Park views from Tony Collins

The new Petershill Park was opened in the summer of 2007. Upon approaching the stadium from the bottom of a hill, fans first come to the social area of the facility, which contains a bar and function room. The turnstiles are at the far end of the building. Attached to the club building is the 500 seat main stand with refreshment 'servery' and toilets next to it. To the immediate right of the stand, looking out, is a business centre, with no facility for supporters to watch the game. To the left of the stand, behind the oppiste goal, is an area of hard-standing. Opposite the stand are two steps of concrete terraces. The ground also has floodlights.

Social Club: Yes
