LOVE STREET, ST MIRREN FOOTBALL GROUND

Opened 1894 - Closed 2009. Re-developed in 1921.

In 1938, a World Title Flyweight boxing match was scheduled to take place at the stadium involving Benny Lynch. Again money was spent with an anticipated pay-back from a 30,000 crowd. The event turned sour when Lynch was stripped of his title in the days before the fight for failing by a large margin to make the weight. It went ahead as a non-title bout but Lynch's fans felt badly let down and the turnout was poor.
