Does anyone know of a smaller seated stand than the one at Fraserburgh Utd? It looks like a stiff breeze would blow it over. Its in quite an open area quite exposed to the elements in winter so it must be pretty robust considering where it is. That's blurring the line between "Stand" and "Dug out" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like my section only I'm a couple of rows in front of the pillars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie Bhoy Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 On the subject of what you can see from your seat, I like the fact I can actually see Hampden from my seat at Celtic Park. Especially on the dark nights you can see the floodlights away in the distance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie Bhoy Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 You can draw a straight line between Celtic Park, Shawfield and Hampden, not a lot of people know that. I certainly didn't. Can also see the floodlights of the new National Hockey Arena from my seat. Those floodlights threw me for a bit trying to work out what it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been there, looks like the winner, this one is next to the main building. There's three or four of these around the pitch can't remember if all of them are seated though and my photos aren't clear enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Ibrox has the only 3-tiered stand, AFAIA. There are precious few proper 2-tiered stands too, i.e. that actually have an overhang over the tier below:- Main Stand at Hibs - South Stand at Hampden - side stand at Rangers - 3 new stands at Celtic - most stands at Tannadice - Richard Donald Stand at Aberdeen? - stand at Formartine Utd 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currahee! Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Btw mods or whoever that post I quoted above was nearly impossible. It took me around 10 minutes to type that. Any idea why as this is typing as normal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just googled them and noticed that they have recently merged with Stoneywood FC. Parkvale They used to play in Aberdeen up until 1994 when they moved out to Findon Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you try and get the ball back from a hedge like that, they use a ladder at Glebe for the high hedge and I think they had a fishing net at Hill of Beath Edited September 1, 2016 by CityDave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedge was probably about same size but what the picture doesn't really show is the wee gaps near the bottom. Perfect for balls, not so much for decent sized humans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
