Looking over the goal at the North end of the stadium, towards a factory of unknown type. The game was the 2005-2006 Third Division promotion play-off semi-final, second leg, between Stenhousemuir (in the white, attacking) and Berwick Rangers. The game ended 0-0, Berwick going through as they had won the first leg 1-0. They did not gain promotion, but went up as champions the following season. Despite appearances, there were several hundred spectators at the game. The ground is also home to the Berwick Bandits speedway team. Despite being located in England (and, despite arguments over Berwick-Upon-Tweed, the ground is firmly in England, at Tweedmouth), Berwick Rangers play in the Scottish League.
