Notes: | A compact ground that is devilishly hidden
at the top of a hill off Lochburn Road, a red and black gate
is the main entrance. Inside the ground is a health club (entry
on non-matchdays is via the turnstiles!) and shop selling the
usual club merchandise and fantastic pies. The pitch itself
is sunk six feet below the terracing - a somewhat bizarre site.
A covered terrace runs down one side of the ground and is bisected
by the players tunnel. Behind the goal opposite to the turnstiles
is a section of multicoloured open bucket seating, built in
time for season 1998-99. The health club is strangely positioned
at the halfway line but its overhanging roof provides extra
cover for anyone caught in a heavy downpour on the wrong side
of the pitch. Lochburn Park is also one of the few grounds in
the juniors to have floodlights. |
