| What's The Ground Like? |
|
The overall look of the
ground has greatly improved with the re-development of both ends of the
ground. The Norrie McCathie & East Stands at each end of the ground,
are very similar in design and were opened in 1998. Both are covered single tiered stands, that
are quite steep in appearance. On one side of the ground is the two tiered
South (Main) Stand, which is a classic looking football stand built in the
early 1960's and is of a good size.
On the other side is
the smaller North Stand, which is single tiered and covered. |
|
| What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters? |
| Away fans are normally housed in the East
Stand at one end of the ground, where just over 3,000 fans can be
accommodated. The facilities in this stand are good and the view of the
playing action excellent. If demand requires it, then parts of the North
& South (Main) Stand can also be allocated for a total of 6,783, which is the allocation for Old Firm games. Other
visitors get a maximum of 4,400 seats. There is normally a good
atmosphere generated within the ground. One point of interest is that the winner of the half time lottery is presented with the relevant amount of cash on the pitch. Lets just hope that they don't get mugged on the way home! |
| Where To Drink? |
| Jim Francis recommends the Elizabethan for away supporters to drink in. Otherwise the ground is around 10-15 minutes walk away from the town centre where there are plenty of pubs to be found. |
|
| How To Get There By Car & Where To Park |
From North & South : |
| By Train |
| There are two stations that are each about a 15 minute walk away from the ground, or about �4 in a taxi. These are Dunfermline Queen Margaret & Dunfermline Town. Both are served by trains from Edinburgh and the latter as the name suggests is closer to the town centre. |

| 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 Dunfermline page click here. |
