| What's The Ground Like? |
|
This relatively new ground was opened in 1993, after the Club moved from their original Annfield home. The stadium comprises two seated stands, on either side of the pitch and a small terrace at either end. The largest of these stands is the West Stand, which is a covered, single tier, all seated stand, that has some executive boxes running across the back of it. Opposite is the similar looking East Stand, which is smaller that the West Stand, not so much in height but in its overall length. This is also covered, all seated and has Police Control Box situated at its rear. Away fans are allocated this stand. The terraces at each end of the stadium are almost identical. They are small and uncovered box like affairs, which are situated well back from the pitch. These terraces are only opened for the bigger games. Looking out beyond the North Terrace there are some wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. Outside of the stadium there are a number of artificial pitches behind the West Stand. |
|
| What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters? |
| Away fans are located in the East Stand at one side of the pitch, where up to 1,000 fans can be seated. This covered stand, has good facilities and provides a good view of the playing action. If demand requires it then a further 500 terrace spaces can be provided in the South Terrace. |
| Where To Drink? |
| The stadium is on the very outskirts of town, adjacent to a Retail Park, so there is not much around. There is one pub called the Kerse Inn on the Retail Park, which you will pass on your right as you drive down to the stadium. |

|
| How To Get There By Car & Where To Park |
Leave the M80 at Junction 9 and take the A91 towards
Alloa. At the 4th roundabout turn left and the ground is just down this
road on the right. There is a large car park at the ground which is free. |
| By Train |
| The stadium is around two miles away from Stirling station, so best jump in a taxi. Otherwise it is a 35-40 minute walk to it. |

| 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 Stirling page click here. |
