Press reporting we may be going into an agreement to share facilities with Rosyth.

This makes a lot of sense. It’s a great site. What do you think Raymie?

That seems to tick a lot of boxes.

Rosyth FC has been shafted for years and needs a bit of a break. It`s current (temporary for 3 years) home is wholly inadequate.
The CS Club has been under-used for years and has pretty decent facilities that were in good condition the last time I was there, although that was about 10 years ago.
There is space for 3 flat, well drained pitches.
The location is in fact the old Recreation Park that had been used by Rosyth Recreation Juniors, I believe in the 1950`s. It has a bus stop right outside and a wee bit of parking, that may need a few spaces added.
I really hope this comes off as I can`t think of anything that isn`t a plus for all the parties concerned.

The CSC would be an excellent location for a training academy. As Vasco has said, there is room for two, flat full sized pitches, although some drainage work would be required for the third, that would sit higher up.
I`d imagine the building would be knocked down and replaced by a bespoke version?
Handy for the M90, so players could commute easily.

an artificial pitch would be needed so that could solve that drainage issue, that plus 2 grass pitches is a minimum requirement.
the club will be considering every option possible but this does tick a lot of boxes.

Raymie, with a bit of excavation there is probably room for 3 pitches if you include the bowling green area.

Facilities are horrible, not sure if the showers work but dressing rooms are not fit for purpose with big holes in the floor, and benches ripped up etc. As others said imagine first step would be bulldoze for a bespoke clubhouse. Adding another artificial surface in addition to the one just around the corner or 1mile along road at pitreavie would be huge cost with little return unless became the community hub that the fleet grounds is at the moment.

May be cheaper demolish and build rather than attempt to repair.

If this comes to pass, it would give us a ground for reserve games etc.

Showers were installed when club was built, I was using them long before rugby club appeared. Top park was pretty ropey, not quality turf and quite bumpy, was suitable as a rugby park though I scored a few goals on it!
Lower level is way better and always has been, building needs a revamp if not demolition, wont miss running up and down the embankments pre season though!🤮🤮🤮

Bit of mischief going on here by Dunfermline Press, no-one is taking into account that the ground still falls under the CSSC and they have been asked to ensure access to the high numbers of CS Clubs that still use the facilities. Whilst Rosyth JFC would be a good fit if the Pars were to be involved then access would be denied. There is quite a high level of bad feeling in the way the club was closed.

I saw that in the article, the fact that someone else actually owns it is not a minor detail, regardless of what others may want to do with it.
Seems odd though that the Civil Service should own sports and social facilities though- is this from a different era?
Genuine question, are there any Civil Service offices in West Fife?

Lot of retired Civil Servants, Job Centre, Driving Examiners, MoD Caledonia, DIO at top of Dockyard Steps, Army Centre in Elgin St, all have CS working in them.
