Pollock FC

Newlandsfield Park
Now there's a name for a ground! Pollock's stadium is a surprise in many ways - it is approached down a posh shopping street, and the club obviously have a bob or two. The ground is certainly the best Junior ground I have been to, and the high attendance figures justify the investment in providing good paved terracing all round. The covered terrace is not the biggest but must generate a good atmosphere when full. The two ends are both somewhat different to other end terraces, with the rises in height being at the will of the person organising the work it would seem. When I visited two fox cubs played with no regard for my presence next to the house-like structure; I wonder what they made of the crowds at games later in the summer? The only disappointment in the ground. is the far side, which is well built terracing but lacking in any character.
