Between its opening in 1912 and the inauguration of the Empire Stadium in Gżira, the Mile End SG was considered to be the 'Mecca of Maltese Football'.
[1] Indeed, until then, the important matches of Maltese civilian football competitions were held at the Lyceum Football Ground in Marsa and subsequently the National Ground, next to the Ta' Braxia Cemetery in Pieta.
[6] In any case, the Mile End SG was eventually demolished and in its place these days there is the San Gorg Preca College.
[1] The stadium consisted of a small enclosure on Mile End Street surrounded by a stone wall, which also extended to cover both sides of it.
[1] On the other three sides, the Mile End SG had a row of wooden benches and the entire stadium was completely surrounded by wire fence mounted on forty-eight poles measuring 16 metres high.
