We are now comming out the other side of the legal/Fife council phase and so we can start to be more public about what is happening. All this means that since 28th Sept 09 Lomond United has not been able to do any workwork to the pitch.
Today, some 8 months later, a final legal/technical hurdle was crossed after an archaelogical survey was done
So you can see how far behind we now are, not to mention the cost!
We now wait just a little but longer for formal conformation reguarding today's survey.
Regular up dates will now be published here until the Tyndall Bruce Parks opens ...

The club was baffled when they first attented a Falkland Community Council meeting in nov 09 to hear that it was community councillier George Page who had made the complaint to John Watson to get work stopped.
For those that don't know, George Page is also secretary of Lomond United's Falkland rivals Lomond Victoria!
And that is where we went underground on further info on the website due to the press, council and other individuals getting involved.

We are now on stage three which involves the leveling of the pitch by shifting the subsoil from the high end to the low end to level out the pitch bed
Next Drains will be installed by the FTM guys and St Michaels Tippers have generously provided the recycled gravels for the new drains.
When all that is done then the top soil can be brought back, spread, rolled and made ready for sowing before the end October.

The guys from Cupar based FTM Plant Hire and St Michaels Tippers get stuck into the construction.
First job was to strip all the grass which was placed to one side for composting down. Next task was the careful removal of all the top soil which was placed into another pile for reuse later.

The team were formed in the village in 1993 and have always had to play on borrowed pitches but all that is now changing.
From next season Lomond United will playing home games on their own brand new pitch.
The pitch is behind the palace in an area known as the Curling Pond Field, near the Falkland Bowing Club.
With the palace, Church and town clock all providing a backdrop and all under the shadow of East Lomond high above the village, it is an impressive location.
