Restoration - Week 38

Spent this week levelling and clearing the East running track and making a start on the other side of the surrounding pitch wall and as you can see it is already paying off. By the end of March we should have a full section of track restored and all of the pitch wall cleaned up along this East section of

the old ground. Again we are focusing on this end of the stadium as it still requires the most work and is the most 'at risk' part of Cathkin Park. Even an ancient ruin requires maintenance in order to preserve it for the future and this section of terracing, wall and track will occupy our efforts for the

next year, whilst we try and generally clear up the rest of the park and raise funds and interest in rebuilding a decent brick pavilion building pitchside and hopefully enclosing the pitch at some point to stop vandalism to the playing surface. But very pleased with how much we are getting done with this lovely mild weather! Also nice to chat to MSP James Kelly at the ground this month and to

discuss our work so far and future ideas for the ground in future.and thanks to Kenneth Watt for the photo here. Also took a trip to BBC Radio Scotland with Stephen Purdon to chat about about our CPL tour of thebennylynchstory.co.uk in May & June 2019 and thanks to OFF THE BALL presenters Tam Cowan and Stuart Cosgrove for having us on.

listen back here : OFF THE BALL and a massive thanks to George Mair for his nationwide press coverage this Sunday in The Sunday Mail, Mail On Sunday, Scottish Sun, Sunday Express and Sunday Post for our tour. We shot a trailer for the show at Cathkin Park last Sunday and thanks to George for the photo below.

So another busy old week at the ground and hopefully we will sell all of the seats for the tour and generate some funds for the continued restoration work of this wonderful old ghost stadium...
