| 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 |
|
From the West: From the East: 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. |
