| What's McDiarmid Park Like? |
|
The ground was built in 1989, and replaced the former home of Muirton Park. The ground consists of four single tiered stands, that are covered and all seated. Three of the stands are of the same height, with the Main Stand at one side of the ground, being a little taller. Overall the ground has a tidy compact feel to it. There is an electric scoreboard situated in one corner of the ground. |

|
| What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters? |
| Away fans are primarily housed in the North Stand will be allocated where up to 2,000 fans can be accommodated. The facilities and view of the playing action are good in this area. For those games where the away side has a large travelling support then the South (Ormond) Stand can also be allocated as well as part of the West (Main) Stand towards the North Stand. |
| Where To Drink? |
| The closest pub is the 208 Bar which is on Crieff Road about 300 yards away from the ground. The bar is popular with both home and away supporters. |

| How To Get There By Car & Where To Park |
|
From
The South |
| By Train |
| Perth train station is nearly three miles away from the ground, which is really too far to walk. Best bet is to grab a taxi. Gerry Smith adds; 'You can also get a bus up to the stadium. Just walk straight down the road outside the railway station, for no more than 10 minutes. You will come to the Mill Street Interchange on the right, where from there you can get a number 2 bus direct to the ground for the princely sum of £2.75 return. Not only that, but the Mill Street interchange is right next to a large and welcoming pub, so it's guaranteed that the money you save on taxi fares is wisely invested!' |
