    Currently in Scottish League 1, Cove Rangers FC are the newest club in the SPFL. In this video I take a look around Cove Bay Harbour as well as their home ground Balmoral Stadium.
    They are based just outside of Aberdeen and Aberdeen FC are their local rivals. Will they ever get promoted up to the Scottish Premiership to play them? Who knows!

    A good, well set up team. They have a number of players who played at a good level - Mitch Megginson (captain) who played for Aberdeen, Fraser Fyvie who played for Wigan and won an FA Cup winners medal with them, Hibs (Scottish cup winners medal and Championship winners medal) and Dundee United, Rory McAllister (ex Peterhead striker), Leighton McIntosh who looks good for them and had ex Inverness Caley Thistle LB Roy McBain in the past.
    A number of players have employment in local companies, I suspect because the directors are well connected to entrepreneurs in the Aberdeen area and it's good for players who have had to drop down the leagues. Their manager is ex Hearts player Paul Hartley.
    A genuinely well run club who deserve their success.

    Really enjoyed watching this. I lived in Cove in the early 80’s. Not a suburb but a village in it’s own right. I cheered on the local amateurs, Cove Forest, as the pitch was next to the house. Loved the harbour. Even better during a storm. Did see Cove play a friendly against my team, Aberdeen. Enjoyed that one too.

    Plastic Pitches need to be replaced.
    Try taking scans of different positions - ie from Distance & exterior to inside the ground - the corners, top of a bank overlooking different areas of grounds (not just ground level), shots along the terraces - it's what the locals see every game (not 'the distance travellers'). Not trying to be negative, just adding a few more ideas that might make your presentation a touch more interesting (make up a template of data / information to mention during the vids), Name the Venue - Club Colours Home & Away, Nicknames, which is the 'Home Supporters' end / side, is there a club shop, social club on site - or nearest Pubs, Chippies, Coffee shops- ie Local facilities for a social Before & After games, just general information for 'first time' supporters, might help a little. Great work & a lot of Fun too. Lets have more. Cheers.

    Never been to this place, but did once have a look at their ground, Allen Park. It had the shortest, stubbiest floodlight pylons I've ever seen. Very spick and span, well kept, like Highland league grounds usually are. This place doesn't look any bigger than Allen Park, which has now had expensive housing built on it. I assume they made money by selling one ground and building another and that may account for their recent success, too.

Especially for the likes of Cove Rangers, Stranraer, Arbroath, Montrose. Well literally everyone, including Queen’s Park who are still playing in Hampden Park with a average gate of 500 for heaven’s sake.

The East of Scotland and West of Scotland leagues are of a far higher standard than anything in League Two and most of League One from what I saw last season. It's sad for all the Scottish lower league clubs who will be relegated to non league in the coming years but overall its a big positive in Scottish football.
