| Notes: | The large enclosure down one side and terracing behind one goal and one side are original from the 1920-30's senior side's days. Opposite the covered enclosure is concrete stepped terracing that continues around the south goal side. The north side is more a vehicle track and is rarely used by spectators. There are the usual refreshment facilities. Armadale Thistle's Volunteer Park once hosted league football, from 1921-32. Back then the club was plainly known as Armadale. The industrial depression of that time - with the collapse of the Lothian collieries and shale oil industries - was the catalyst that saw the end of Armadale's league status. |
