| What's The Ground
Like? |
|
The overall look of the
ground has greatly improved with the re-development of both ends of
the ground. The Norrie McCathie & East Stands at each end of the
ground, are very similar in design and were opened in 1998. Both are
covered single tiered stands, that are quite steep in appearance. On
one side of the ground is the two tiered South (Main) Stand, which
is a classic looking football stand built in the early 1960's and is
of a good size. On the other side is the smaller North Stand, which
is single tiered and covered.
After the Club accepted a grant
from UEFA to replace their grass surface with a new experimental
artificial pitch, which was installed for the 2003/04 season, the
Club have now reverted back to grass at the request of other SPL
members. Reaction to the artificial pitch experiment were mixed,
especially when visiting sides lost on it!

| What Is It Like For Visiting
Supporters? |
Away fans are normally housed in the
East Stand at one end of the ground, where just over 3,000 fans can
be accommodated. The facilities in this stand are good and the view
of the playing action excellent. If demand requires it, then parts
of the North & South (Main) Stand can also be allocated for a
total of 6,783, which is the allocation for Old Firm games. Other
visitors get a maximum of 4,400 seats. There is normally a good
atmosphere generated within the ground.
One point of interest
is that the winner of the half time lottery is presented with the
relevant amount of cash on the pitch. Lets just hope that they don't
get mugged on the way home!

| Where To
Drink? |
| Jim Francis recommends the
Elizabethan, near to the ground on Halbeath Road, for away
supporters to drink in. Otherwise the ground is around 10-15 minutes
walk away from the town centre where there are plenty of pubs to be
found.

| By Train |
| There are two stations that are each
about a 15 minute walk away from the ground, or about £4 in a taxi.
These are Dunfermline Queen Margaret & Dunfermline Town. Both
are served by trains from Edinburgh and the latter as the name
suggests is closer to the town centre.

Accommodation |
| If you require hotel
accommodation in the area then first try a hotel booking service
provided by Football Hotels who are powered by
Activehotels, who specialise in locating accommodation near or
within a short travelling distance of the football ground. They also
have the added advantage over some other hotel booking services that
you pay on departure. Yes this site will earn a small
commission if you book through them, but it will go to help with the
running costs of keeping the Guide going. To access their Dunfermline page click here.
