| What's The Ground Like? |
|
On one side of the ground,
is the relatively new looking Main Stand (also known by the locals as
the McCowans End, after the toffee factory in the same street). 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. |

| What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters? |
|
Generally there is no segregation of fans for league games. If segregation needs to be enforced, then away fans are predominantly housed in the covered Tryst Road terrace which is allocated specifically to them, whilst some seats are also allocated in the Main Stand. Normally a friendly welcome awaits the visiting supporter and I experienced no problems on my visit. |
| Where To Drink? |
| There is a Social Club on one corner of the Tryst Road terrace and a small bar under the Main Stand. Both welcome away supporters, although on occasions the Social Club may charge a small entrance fee, for non members. There are a couple of bars to be found in the nearby town centre (five minutes walk). |

| How To Get There By Car & Where To Park |
Leave the M876 at Junction 2 and follow
the A88 towards Stenhousemuir. After about three quarters of a mile turn
right into Tryst Road. The ground is down the bottom of this road on the
left. It is not the easiest ground to spot as
it has no large floodlights that can be seen from a distance. Remember also to ignore the 'football traffic' signs around the area, as
if you follow them you will eventually end up at Falkirks' ground.
Street parking. |
| By Train |
| The nearest train station is Larbert, which about a half a mile away from the ground. As you come out of the station, bear left down the main (King Street) road in front of the station. Continue down Kings Road and you will reach the ground on the left. |

| Hotel 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 Stenhousemuir page click here. |
