The ground has only three sides, with the&nbsp;North End being occupied by a leisure centre, giving the stadium a somewhat unbalanced look. These three stands are single tiered, have windshields to either side and are all seated and covered affairs. The size of the stands are roughly of the same height, although the Main Stand at one side of the pitch, is slightly taller than the other two.

This stand is shared with home supporters.<br> <br> The stadium has a reputation for being one of the coldest in Scotland, in fact some visiting fans have nicknamed the ground 'Ice Station Broadwood'. Still if you need some central heating then the pies are pretty good. The atmosphere can be a bit flat at times, in an attempt to liven things up, if Clyde score, then 'Dare' by the Gorrilaz, blasts out around the ground.</font> Crawford adds; 'There are large windows along the side of the leisure centre, so the complex users can see what's happening on the pitch when they are running on the tread-mill.
