My boyfriend is also closely involved with the club, meaning I've been to this little venue a few times over the past year at various charity nights and events, which the Wee Club frequently hosts. Situated in very close proximity to Ibrox, The Wee Rangers Club is probably best known for it's match day hospitality, with a four course meal and guaranteed on site parking for 40 pounds per person. My dad and my boyfriend both highly recommend this. I have had a meal at the club on a couple of occasions and it was delicious. I've been informed that it is made by a chef that usually works at one of Glasgow's best hotels, so it was no surprise when the dishes came out beautifully presented like you would get in an expensive restaurant. I have always been seated in The John Brown suite which looks tiny but can hold around 120 people. You can hire this suite out for a cost of 200 pounds to non-members. The decor of the place is clean, modern and subtle, with reminders that the club is for the Rangers supporters but it isn't over the top or in your face at all. I will definitely be back for another function, the friendly stewards and bar staff made me feel very welcome, and it's ideal for a pre-match drink (or two).

Not only is the ground more polished than most of the other offerings in the game, but it also boasts a fantastic little social club. Indeed, the set up is perhaps only bettered in junior circles by Linlithgow Rose's Prestonfield stadium. Despite difficult financial times for all junior clubs, Pollok continue to attract a fairly loyal support, with stats showing an average attendance of around 600. You can generally expect them to be challenging for titles; indeed, they are one of only a handful of clubs to lifted the big prize, the Scottish Cup, on three separate occasions.

Since formation in 1912, they have enjoyed a fairly illustrious history in the game, although their proudeset moment came as recently as 2001 when they upset all the odds to lift the Scottish Junior Cup at Firhill. Since then, success has been sparse for the Frew, and rumours have persisted that they will soon move from their home at Western Park, Inchinnan Road, to a new ground elsewhere in Renfew. This would be a real shame, given the current set-up is part of a dying breed of traditional throwback junior grounds. For that reason alone you should catch a match here while you still can.

First-Hand Experience: I was lucky enough to be taken to an Arthurlie home game by Dave B, and he was right... Scottish Amateur Football is something that every football fan should experience once in their life. I'm also delighted to see Arthurlie are already on Yelp thanks to Tony. It was, despite the tiny freezing facilities and ageing ground, one of the best and most enjoyable footy experiences I've had in Scotland. I would come back again in a heartbeat. It was 2011 when I saw them play here, and I'm hoping to come again in 2016. This is a little amateur team in Barrhead, and they are much more fun to watch than some of the big teams in Scotland because the fans are so down to earth and passionate, they don't take it too seriously, and the prices of everything are dirt cheap. I highly recommend everyone stop by and watch them and see for yourself how great Scottish Amateur Football can be.

Glasgow is a football-mad city, and it is no surprise that Goals is a social, as well as sports, complex: it is the best place for an after-work team building session, and the games that I have watched, idly, look pretty hotly contested.

First-Hand Experience: When I was a lad, this team was legendary because they were so old. I managed to see them play in 1994, and I was lucky enough to be one of the last, as they went out of business soon after. I'll always remember them and the spirit of their fans, and hope that the club is resurrected someday. I had a great time watching them live and in person. It was one of my first trips to Scotland to watch footy. I wasn't going to review this old, defunct team that has been resurrected as a youth team, but I have a good memory of them and watching them live, and then I found this listing so I thought I'd say what I wanted to say about them when I reviewed their old stadium, Kilbowie: From 1939 to 1996 this was the home of the Clydebank football team, who then ceased to exist and are sorely missed. Hopefully they'll come back to life someday and their fans can have them back. I have visited this place but never saw Clydebank play so I and many others would love them to come back. It once had 15k fans but usually had 10k. Kilbowie was the first all seater stadium in the UK. The current incarnation of the team is a junior team. The senior team no longer exists. The museum in Hampden Park has some of the rubble of the stadium on display. Vico Properties bought the land, bulldozed the stadium and turned it into the Kilbowie Retail Park.

So in other words, there was a place for North Kelvinside pitches, 20 years ago. But come on, we're in 2010 now and while I appreciate the fight local residents put up to prevent developers building flats on the vast land, what good are a dozen or so grafitti-filled, red ash pitches with full-size goals? Although they are still used by a handful of local clubs, generally speaking the lure of grazed knees and elbows is not enough to divert the youth of the surrounding areas away from their PS3s and the pitches are often lying empty. t may have been enough for me, but then again it was only competiting with Pac Man back in those days.
