Deliberate damage at Craigroyston

Last weekend, deliberate damage was done to our SFL garden area and a lot of mess made. This included broken fences and plant pots as well as damage to two scooters – so much so they are beyond repair 😭

We don’t mind young people hanging around in our area at all as we want them to be safe, but we ask two things:

*Be respectful so things are not damaged

*Use the bins provided for any rubbish

We hope everyone in the Craigroyston community can help support us in this! 💙💛

Special offer from Civil Service Strollers

There are no SPFL games this weekend, so why not come to Christie Gillies Park on Marine Drive for your football fix?

You can watch The Strollers battle it out with Irvine Meadow XI for a place in the 5th round of the SFA South Challenge Cup.

As a special bonus for coming along, we’ll let you watch another home game for free!

Here’s how the offer works :-

send us a personal message to let us know your coming and which game you want to watch for free (choose from the list below),

check in at the gate this Saturday, and pay the relevant admission.

You can then look forward to your chosen free game!

Thats it!

We look forward to seeing you and are sure you’ll enjoy both games!

Thanks
