Ex Home of East Stirlingshire F.C.
This used to be the ground of the worst football team in Britain - recently finishing bottom of the Scottish League six times in a row. East Stirlingshire have now moved up the road to ground share with Stenhousemuir, and fortunes have improved with a play off position at the end of season 08/09. All true Manchester United fans ought to make a pilgrimage to this spot - Sir Alex first cut his managerial teeth here.

Firs Park
The terracing is starting to grow vegetation, but Firs Park is still recognisable as a football stadium. East Stirlingshire have flitted to Ochilview.

Firs Park
Former home of East Stirlingshire Football Club, who at the time of submission were chasing neighbours Livingston hard at the top of Division Three. A big improvement after years at the bottom of the league. Once, the crowd's names were actually read over the public address system instead of the teams as in the old joke. East Stirlingshire now play at Ochilview, Stenhousemuir.
When I last watched a game here, there were rusting steam locomotives in a yard beyond one goal. Now supermarkets and tin sheds wait to invade the pitch.

Firs Park.
Squeezed between these tenements, this is the entrance to Firs Park where East Stirlingshire F.C. play their home games. It is also where Sir Alex Ferguson began his managerial career.
