| Stadium: Falkirk Stadium, Westfield, Falkirk, FK2 9DX
Telephone: (01324) 624121
Disabled Access: Spaces at front of Main Stand
Distance: 22 miles
Travelling Time: Car - 30 min Rail - 1 hour
Weblinks: Official Site, One F In Falkirk
Nickname: The Bairns
Getting there: Falkirk's new
stadium in just outside the town, basically between Falkirk and
Grangemouth and is about 20 mins walk from the town centre.
Car: Take the M80/A80
towards Stirling, branch left at junction 5 onto the M876 (signposted
Kincardine Bridge) and then south onto the M9 towards Edinburgh. Leave
the M9 at Junction 6 (signposted Grangemouth) and take the A904 back
towards Falkirk. After the Westfield roundabout the stadium will be on
your left.
Rail: There are trains
every hour from Glasgow Queen Street to Falkirk's Grahamston Station,
and the Falkirk Stadium is roughly a 20 minute walk away along the main
road to Grangemouth (A904). Or after you've sampled the local pubs near
the station, head for the bus stop outside the Asda and buses to
Grangemouth (no.3&4) and Bo'ness (no.6&7) will take you past
the ground.
Parking: There are very few car parking spaces at the ground and if you are not at the park by at least 2:15 do not expect to get one.
The Ground: Away
Fans: Temporary stand (new North Stand in 2005). The temporary stand is
pathetic and not worth paying the £15 charged to sit in it, Falkirk FC
are taking the p!iss with this and should be forced to allow away fans
in to the main stand and segregating it just like many other teams have
been forced to do in the past. Admission: £15 adults, £10
concessions.£5 primary school kids. All Falkirk games look as though
they will be all ticket. However do not expect the tickets to be on
offer until shortly before the game. Capacity: 4,200 all seated (5,200 inc temp stand).
Half-Decent Pubs: Suggest Others Here The
nearest is the Earls Gates Social Club, it's only 500 yards along the
road, not sure how welcoming they'll be to away fans though... If there
are any others please post the details here. |
