I’m hoping this is a quiz......and on that basis I’m guessing Stirling Albion’s  Annfield, Clydebank’s Kilbowie Park, Falkirk’s Brockville and East Stirling’s Firs Park.

Could be right, I didn't recognise Annfield for first one though, maybe Dumabarton?

I think that the first one is Boghead Dumbarton but otherwise your correct

Annfield was my biggest guess! I do recollect a newish stand at Boghead on a couple of visits in the early 80s. A crushing 3-1 defeat and a 4-0 promotion win! So I think you’re right

Muirton Park. One of my favourite grounds as a youngster. Saw some great Hearts games there over the years.

Its not @Maroon Sailor's modus operandi, he likes to tease us and make us work. Prolific and great poster on the Edinburgh History thread in the shed

East Fife’s Bayview

 

One of the few grounds that didn't have a wide area curve shape behind their goals

My first one there would be about 1963. 4-1 to us. The Saints keeper Harry Fallon got carried off with a head injury. The following year a 3-0 win for us with Tommy a White getting a double and Johnny Hamilton the other.

I loved Muirton park, proper football ground.

 

Saw some tasty battles up there back in the 80's

I was in that section for a Cup game. Entirely irrelevant but Ernie Walker was standing beside us. No idea why I remember that!

Here is the match I was referring to. Can't believe Davie Bowman was making his 41st appearance at the age of 17 !

Old Love street, sure the last time I was there Michael Stewart was sent off and Eggart Jónsson scored the winner.

Even more unique?? Mind you I'm going back circa 50+years, but always sticks in my mind.

Maybe unusual might be better description rather than unique!

The dressing rooms were in an old house behind the stand?

It's where I seen my first game

Hedging your bets there Dave with the ?:whistling:

 

I remember a 6 - 3 defeat there, another flashback to 50+years ago like the Annfield teaser I posed.
