Our Impressions of Harlaw Park
There is a small main stand while the remainder of Harlaw Park is standing only. Modern-ish ground, well maintained. Pitch has slope from one end to other. If standing at furthest end from social club, sun can be a problem, behind the goal at social club end is netting which gives a restricted view. The average attendances tends to be around 300.
A new enclosure able to shelter 500 from the rain opposite side from stand was added at the start of the 2002-2003 season, and the access to the stand is now from the rear, so you no longer have to go in front via pitchside.
There are also new toilet facilities (male/female), press facilities, first aid room, and turnstiles.
