SPL AWAY DAY GUIDE

ABERDEEN - PITTODRIE
I have travelled to Pittodrie in the car and on the train but I prefer the train. The station is right in the centre of the city and it is about a 20 minute walk to the stadium. We (The people I normally go to the away games with) always go to Ma Cameron's for a bar lunch. It's normally a great day out apart from the result. The view from the away part of the ground is the worst view in the SPL (especially for children.) I can't see the touchline and neither can my dad and he's 6'1. You have to look over the persons head in front of you and there is no big drop between rows, unlike the Falkirk Stadium.

CELTIC - CELTIC PARK
I've travelled to Celtic Park  by bus, car and train. I prefer the train, Bridgeton Station is a 10-15min walk to the ground. When we take the car we normally park about a 20 minute walk away from the stadium (London Road). There are no neds asking to watch your car in that area. If you sit in the away part of the ground, there's mostly restricted views. I've never liked where I sat at Celtic Park but when I went to a watch a Scotland game there, it was an outstanding view. The stewards are a bit OTT.

DUNDEE UTD - TANNADICE
We always take the car to Tannadice and we park in a housing estate just around the corner from the stadium. This stadium has probably the best view in the SPL for away supporters as the away stand runs along the touchline and you can sit anywhere you want. I prefer to sit near the half-way line. Once we had comps and sat in front of the press box and we sat on old, wooden seats, which were cramped, and there was no room for even my wee legs.

HAMILTON ACCIES - NEW DOUGLAS PARK
I visited New Douglas Park for the first time when we were in the First Division. We park in the Council Buildings car park near to the ground. We had a memorable victory there one Wednesday evening in our battle to avoid relegation. I like the ground and I always look forward to returning there.

HEARTS - TYNECASTLE
You can travel to this stadium by road or rail. We normally park near the BT Headquarters and there is about a 20 minute walk. This stadium offers the best price of tickets in the SPL and if one adult and one child were going, the price would be about £20. There is a good view from the stand and the stadium looks nice from inside. There is always a good atmosphere in the stadium but I have never seen Falkirk win at Tynecastle.

HIBERNIAN - EASTER ROAD
Going to Easter Road is my favourite away trip. We  take the train to Edinburgh Waverley and walk to the ground. We always eat in China China buffet inside the Omni Centre either before or after the match. I've seen Falkirk play at Easter Road many times and we have a good record there. There is a good view from the away end and you can normally sit in the upper tier or the lower tier.

ICT - CALEDONIAN STADIUM
I've been to this stadium four times and have  travelled by train and bus. The train station is in the centre of the city and there is about a 30 minute walk to the ground. There is a free blue bus that you can go on to get back to the city centre after the match. The first time I went to Inverness they let us use the bus but the second time they never.  The view is ok but not the best because the stand is small. We've always eat at the Filling Station  near to the railway station. Its always an enjoyable trip but it is a long journey home having to change trains at Perth. I leave Larbert station at 10.15 and arrive back at 2205

KILMARNOCK - RUGBY PARK
We always travel to Kilmarnock in the car and we used to always get lost. We now go via the Irvine road (A71) and it is straight forward. We park very close to the stadium in a housing estate. Kilmarnock FC is famous for the Killie pie but I've never tried one because I'm a veggie. I've heard they are very good though. The view is good but adults don't have enough room for their legs.

MOTHERWELL - FIR PARK
We have always travelled to Fir Park by car and we park beside National Tyres. There is about a 5-10 minute walk from there to the ground. This used to be my least favourite ground because we never win there (including the CIS semi final) but victories against Gretna and Motherwell in 07-08 changed that. The away stand is quite impressive although the rest of the ground is naff. If a child sits in the top tier of the away stand, there is not a good view for them

RANGERS - IBROX
We've always parked on the other side of the motorway and walk across the fly over. We park beside Ibrox Primary School. If you want to park there don't park in the playground because you're car will get locked inside. This nearly happened to us. The view the away supporters get is poor and you're stuck in the corner like at Celtic Park. Be careful at the end of he game if Falkirk get a result, because it is quite scary, so hide your badges and colours for safety.

ST MIRREN - ST MIRREN STADIUM

We  normally by travel by car to Paisley and park in the exact same spot as we did when we visited Love Street, but going by train is a good day out. I didn't like Love Street because it looked a horrible ground but at least you had a good view of the pitch. The new ground is neat but even sitting in the back (13th) row the view isn't great. The facilities below the stand are quite cramped. The stadium does have 4 sides which is one consolation but it doesn't look very impressive.
