Stadium
Pollok play their home games at Newlandsfield Park in the Newlands area of Glasgow, a ground they have used since the 1928-29 season. The stadium has a capacity of 4,000 (1,500 covered), and is largely terracing.
Pollok's first ground was at Haggs Park in the Pollok Estate, but they were forced to move out in 1926-27 as Glasgow City Council wanted the land for school pitches. After playing temporarily at Rosebery Park and the Queen Mary Tea Gardens at Speirsbridge (in Thornliebank), they acquired Newlandsfield Park, which has been their ground ever since.
