Notes: | The main feature at Talbot's ground is
the impressive 500-seater stand that opened in 2005. Opposite
the stand a new covered enclosure was constructed in 2013. 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. The
club are named after the man who gifted them Beechwood Park,
Lord Talbot de Maldahide. |
