Restoration - Week 30

Managed to make a start on the next area of the EAST Terrace which has almost disappeared under 50 years of growth! The worst part of the ground thus far and the roots have undermined the remaining stepping, but already dug them out this week and revealed more of the concrete below.


Spent hours this week clearing away storm damage with lots of branches down and the old woodpile is certainly building up! 

We reckon this part of the terracing will take the rest of 2018 to dig out, clear and polish up the stonework, before we can fix up the pitch wall and paint it and then move on to the final unrestored section of the ground.


Looking forward to getting tore into this last 3rd of the front terracing and getting it back to looking like a football ground once again. 


But again, slowly but surely the Old Lady Of Scottish Football is returning to life and delighted with how this end of the ground is coming together again. It is a painfully slow process but I think the


results speak for themselves. Cleared up another 2 bags of rubbish and the whole ground has a much better and more cared-for feel to it of late and been great chatting to more tourists this week who had gone out of their way to find Cathkin Park.
