The back of the old club buildings, from the main road.

A bricked up former entrance.

Fixture board seen from outside.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7w8CZske6m8/Tf5G6vYm54I/AAAAAAAACMs/HXcXNIgHuk0/s400/DSCF2647.jpg)
Here we see the back of a covered terrace. The entrance is by the advertising hoarding. We will get in by a gate a few yards along.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_h7-Ue4XRKw/Tf5Gz0wgmKI/AAAAAAAACMg/zjM2OsPfJ8A/s400/DSCF2643.jpg)
Outside the ground is the social club.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-T_Eq-UwZc1A/Tf5G2FipElI/AAAAAAAACMk/4VdvkiJDA_Q/s400/DSCF2644.jpg)
From an open gate we are above the pitch, behind the goal.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-2akaVNi_S_U/Tf5E9mw8HtI/AAAAAAAACJo/BkACAwgt2Gg/s400/DSCF2599.jpg)
To the left is a covered terrace, with more buildings and another shed further along.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-txoR8NyckoA/Tf5E_yyOSmI/AAAAAAAACJs/HhRqrdvKH0s/s400/DSCF2600.jpg)
As we come down the steps from our gate, we look right, to some terracing, and this is the way we are heading, going round the pitch anti-clockwise.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DE9HqFtRH4s/Tf5FCgTKr_I/AAAAAAAACJw/A7M2IVhLtvY/s400/DSCF2601.jpg)
Down on the open terracing you can see it must be quite an old ground.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KqZVKkP0cfo/Tf5FF5RdQsI/AAAAAAAACJ0/svXAB2EkPNI/s400/DSCF2602.jpg)
Raching the corner we look bavk behind the goal, and you can clearly see the steps we have just come down, to get in here.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-a6qBy1EeFL0/Tf5FK8qQFFI/AAAAAAAACJ8/lU5LAWiDM3c/s400/DSCF2604.jpg)
Along the touchline, the terracing is impressive, under the cover.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-_PcuFBQaN_E/Tf5FIWfhsiI/AAAAAAAACJ4/A16BK4Mc-6c/s400/DSCF2603.jpg)
About ten steps or so deep.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VwiMuIJUH0M/Tf5FM-vZYOI/AAAAAAAACKA/AeYZh2Cuw7U/s400/DSCF2605.jpg)
From the back of it we can see a 'traditional' Scottish football toilet in the corner.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-N6Gybj_SBR0/Tf5FT2rclZI/AAAAAAAACKM/SNGQjnMH2pM/s400/DSCF2608.jpg)
Up to their 'usual' standards north of the border! ;-)
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-0MaVs70PPB4/Tf5FWCUdElI/AAAAAAAACKQ/2G8o9BT24CA/s400/DSCF2609.jpg)
Back under the rofo of the terrace we turn back behind the open goal.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-i-GuIWja_Yc/Tf5FRegUmlI/AAAAAAAACKI/L1yh2MWgktE/s400/DSCF2607.jpg)
Then right, toward, what I presume are changing rooms, maybe the shutter being for a refreshment hut.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-B75BiU5qJm4/Tf5FPJ1woQI/AAAAAAAACKE/fZhP7aUIcOE/s400/DSCF2606.jpg)
An old patio here, weeds starting to grow through. An old bar area perhaps?
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1VJUECExINk/Tf5FYeVSa1I/AAAAAAAACKU/hnDDvWLST4s/s400/DSCF2610.jpg)
The covered terrace, from on the pitch.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZpWYSIy-qdc/Tf5FezFVbGI/AAAAAAAACKg/RtesKaJ_RBc/s400/DSCF2613.jpg)
Below the patio is some more terracing.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ii7lzff5j-A/Tf5Fa8cGY6I/AAAAAAAACKY/oyvDS9AerXg/s400/DSCF2611.jpg)
Then a dugout. Ah yes, the sign says it is a tea bar behind. 'Pies & Bovril' being not just a staple footballing diet in Scotland, but a famous Scottish website.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/--Wg4cRhs6FI/Tf5FdI6f--I/AAAAAAAACKc/SdNb4NisHh4/s400/DSCF2612.jpg)
Moving along the pitch we can see the other covered terrace, past the changing rooms.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pcFdB9tVaHc/Tf5Fgw71GHI/AAAAAAAACKk/mdUvWqlrelw/s400/DSCF2614.jpg)
The concrete continues above the dugout, to another small bit of terracing in the middle.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RvDdzchsqVM/Tf5FmVfLJSI/AAAAAAAACKs/tczTvtuwtog/s400/DSCF2616.jpg)
Not sure why I did the 'wonky' angle, but there you og!
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mvxqUa33iuE/Tf5FprK2s8I/AAAAAAAACKw/znC9shFYmrQ/s400/DSCF2617.jpg)
The players tunnel, unusual in that there are two of them.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ZiKXrCmre6w/Tf5FjoNJTWI/AAAAAAAACKo/g-et6wSO6is/s400/DSCF2615.jpg)
Almost over the halfway line, from one of them.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-cwR7GScwzJM/Tf5Fs2lOEYI/AAAAAAAACK4/XdSExkhmzaA/s400/DSCF2618.jpg)
Here's the terrace 'enclosure' unbetween the tunnel & next dugout.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-X0c3hWH630E/Tf5Fva8jnxI/AAAAAAAACK8/AGRRiyktQBI/s400/DSCF2619.jpg)
Turning round to see the centre section once more.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-LUnpiXOmLcQ/Tf5FyG4N4aI/AAAAAAAACLA/ZqCC1AplnBI/s400/DSCF2620.jpg)
Now behind the second dugout, to the second section of cover.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-vAsvarVw10I/Tf5F08vb8EI/AAAAAAAACLE/uujCHDpwoh4/s400/DSCF2621.jpg)
Down behind it are longe since disused 'facilities'.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-tzSbVO7wqCc/Tf5F5GdF1JI/AAAAAAAACLI/okldOkw5spI/s400/DSCF2622.jpg)
The next cover, & dugout, from on the pitch.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-diEe84DLD4w/Tf5F7q0mPFI/AAAAAAAACLM/K0-w28DIvkM/s400/DSCF2623.jpg)
Not as big as the other covered terrace, but still very good.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-aR01jbyE23U/Tf5F-L4Rv2I/AAAAAAAACLQ/WZlqCTPPtco/s400/DSCF2624.jpg)
With terraced steps continuing past the roofed area.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-FGuYJ-Ivhl0/Tf5GAvoQl8I/AAAAAAAACLU/824gnOXQrSk/s400/DSCF2625.jpg)
From the end we see back along it.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-rmQjInhuj6E/Tf5GD9_3lII/AAAAAAAACLY/fXmeaNUAgwI/s400/DSCF2626.jpg)
Behind the open steps are some disused turnstiles.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qvCbOe9dMBk/Tf5GLWV3uuI/AAAAAAAACLg/I8MmnuRefjo/s400/DSCF2628.jpg)
Another angle of them, showing how much disrepair they really are in.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Pg2v1dl4QCE/Tf5GT5XipqI/AAAAAAAACLo/rR7wyg9HUX4/s400/DSCF2631.jpg)
Outside they are bricked up.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-VwhPMh0rICg/Tf5HBrUEuCI/AAAAAAAACM4/ifT1kfKSikc/s400/DSCF2650.jpg)
Behind the goal it's grassed over, just an old rail going along.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-rNUOqITGCWY/Tf5GHAC2blI/AAAAAAAACLc/TqHnhnXWomA/s400/DSCF2627.jpg)
With part of an also old pitch perimeter wall behind the goal.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-yVQIUi6GSkg/Tf5GWZfO3CI/AAAAAAAACLs/J23GbuDeFww/s400/DSCF2632.jpg)
From the next corner we look over the pitch to the covered side.
![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-2aVhgJfs8zM/Tf5GY9xQG8I/AAAAAAAACLw/RuxFUlbMzFY/s400/DSCF2633.jpg)
Nothing at all along the far isde. There is a fair amount of space here though, so I would imagine this side was once built up in years gone by.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bU5YCXU9sUw/Tf5Gcksq_mI/AAAAAAAACL0/07kj61kYJs8/s400/DSCF2634.jpg)
Pitch roller in the foreground, by the playing surface.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-RPt7cyCOSK4/Tf5GgQPUTgI/AAAAAAAACL8/DdeVdiRjl7g/s400/DSCF2635.jpg)
Down to the last corner now.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-VlPB5HBG4RQ/Tf5GmHSZ4DI/AAAAAAAACME/Po41DfTkkuU/s400/DSCF2637.jpg)
And to the open terrace at the clubhouse end.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mBbkf5-tmUc/Tf5Gi26RozI/AAAAAAAACMA/IylUodfHp8A/s400/DSCF2636.jpg)
Starting to move along it.
![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-H-STItYEMeM/Tf5GoojbcQI/AAAAAAAACMM/ns6Fqbzep9Q/s400/DSCF2638.jpg)
Behind the goal.
![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-2wd8RlDru5M/Tf5GqfMBnfI/AAAAAAAACMQ/9B5i87vORrM/s400/DSCF2639.jpg)
It narrows because of this building.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IXNJne6QZ-Y/Tf5Gs55htDI/AAAAAAAACMU/cvRxgPHj_XE/s400/DSCF2640.jpg)
And time to leave, back up the steps where we came in.
