This small all seated, covered stand, runs for about half the length of the pitch and straddles the half way line. It has a couple of floodlights perched on its roof. Opposite to this stand the side of the ground is unused for spectators and just has the team dugouts and a row of small floodlights. At the Tryst Road End of the ground is good sized terrace, that recently has had a roof put on it, giving much needed shelter for the standing fans. On one side of this terrace can be seen a Social Club which is owned by the Club. The opposite East End of the ground is again unused for spectators. During the Summer of 2007 a new synthetic playing surface was installed at the stadium.<br> <br> Sandy Reid adds; 'For the historians out there the first modern floodlit game in Scotland was played at Ochilview in 1951. Behind the ground looking towards the Ochils in the distance is the Tryst which was the largest selling market for farm stock for the drovers back in the 1700's and 1800's in Scotland'.</font></p> <p align="right"><a href="#Contents"><font size="1">Top Of Page</font></a></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#cc3399"> <p align="center"><b><font color="#ffffff" size="2"><a name="Main (South) Stand">Main (South) Stand</a></font></b></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p align="center"><br> <img alt="Main (South) Stand" src="stenhousemuir30.jpg" border="0" height="265" width="603"></p> <p align="right"><a href="#Contents"><font size="1">Top Of Page</font></a></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#cc3399"><strong><a name="What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters?"><font color="#ffffff" size="2">What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters?</font></a></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p class="title"><font size="2">Generally there is no segregation of fans for league games.
