Apparently Glebe Park, is the only ground in Europe with a hedge surrounding its perimeter. This side has a small open terrace only a couple of steps high and there are a number of floodlight pylons running down the front of it. The Main Stand is a small all seated covered stand, which straddles the half way line. You would think at first glance that this was quite an old stand, especially as it has a floodlight protruding from its roof, but in actual fact it was built in 1981 and replaced a similar looking wooden stand. At one end is the Cemetery End terrace, which is covered and has a number of supporting pillars. Opposite, is the latest addition to the ground, the smart looking Trinity Road Stand. Built in the early 1990's, it is a covered all seated stand, which seats nearly 1,000 spectators. It is unusual, in being setback some distance from the pitch and sits upon a raised bank.</font></p> <p align="right"><a href="#Contents"><font face="Verdana" size="1">Top Of Page</font></a></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" bgcolor="#ff0000" width="730"> <p align="center"><strong><font color="#ffffff" face="Verdana" size="2"><a name="Main &amp; Trinity Road Stands">Trinity Road Stand</a></font></strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" width="730"> <p align="center"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><br> <img alt="Trinity Road Stand" src="brechin20.jpg" border="0" height="291" width="605"> </font> </p> <p align="right"><a href="#Contents"><font face="Verdana" size="1">Top Of Page</font></a> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" bgcolor="#ff0000" width="730"><strong><a name="What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters?"><font color="#ffffff" face="Verdana" size="2">What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters?</font></a></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" width="730"><font face="Verdana" size="2">The ground is a pleasure to visit and a friendly welcome awaits most visitors. The ground is maintained to a high standard and the staff and fans have real pride in their club. If you get the chance, make your way to the rear of the Cemetery Terrace, where in true Hollywood style, supporters have been invited to have individual plaques with their names on, set in concrete. Plus the supporters have also been allowed to place their hand prints in the concrete, giving it that Hollywood look. Supporters are not normally segregated for games and both sets of fans tend to try and out sing one another in the Cemetery End. If fans are to be segregated, say for a big cup game, then away fans will normally find that the Trinity Road Stand has been allocated to them. Neil Stapleton adds; 'If you get chance, sample the soup on sale inside the ground, it is excellent'.</font> <p align="right"><a href="#Contents"><font face="Verdana" size="1">Top Of Page</font></a></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" bgcolor="#ff0000" width="730"> <p align="center"><strong><font color="#ffffff" face="Verdana" size="2"><a name="Cemetery End">Cemetery End</a></font></strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" width="730"> <p align="center"><br> <img alt="Cemetery End" src="brechin33.jpg" border="0" height="294" width="606"></p> <p align="right"><a href="#Contents"><font face="Verdana" size="1">Top Of Page</font></a></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" bgcolor="#ff0000" width="730"><strong><a name="Where To Drink?"><font color="#ffffff" face="Verdana" size="2">Where To Drink?</font></a></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" width="730">Calum MacLennan informs me; 'There is the Stables Bar which is good for a pre-match pint.
