Barry McLaughlin joked it’s felt like being boss of the Harlem Globetrotters while waiting for Thorn Athletic’s new ground to be completed.
The Johnstone side are yet to play on their own turf in the league this season, having borrowed Renfrew’s New Western Park and Benburb’s New Tinto Park for their ‘home’ fixtures in cup competitions while playing every single domestic match away from home.
This weekend, McLaughlin’s side will finally get to step out at the newly renovated Thorn Athletic Sports Academy, which has enjoyed a £120,000 facelift over the last eight months.
