fabienleclerq Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Cowdenbeath, queen of the south and Alloa. I'd imagine circa 3k at each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks said no Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 QOTS has the largest covered terrace left in Scotland. Overall standing capacity (won't all be for us obviously) is 4,111. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the away fans got the new stand along the side of the pitch at QOTS which holds around 2500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 From what I know/can remeber/found out (exluding Hibs and Rangers as we know about them), they are as follows (probably a few inaccuracies though!): Alloa Athletic Recreation Park Capacity: 3,100 - the away area (the Hilton Stand) is seated. Don't think it holds much more than 4/500 though so if demand is high maybe they'll use more of the ground, much of which is terracing. Cowdenbeath Central Park 4,370 - the away allocation is generally the terraced ends, not sure on the capacity though. Dumbarton Bet Butler Stadium Capacity: 2,025 - all seated. Away fans housed in the West section of the stadium. Maybe approx 500 allocation. Falkirk Falkirk Stadium Capacity: 8,750 - all seated. Away fans in the North Stand, with a 2,000 capacity. Livingston Energy Assets Arena Capacity: 9,865 - all seated. No problem with allocation here, as we know. 4,000 initial allocation I believe, like Wedensday, probably scope for more like in 2005/06 when we had over 6,000 there. Queen of the South Palmerston Park Capacity: 7,620 - seated East Stand for away support, around 2,200 allocation. Raith Rovers Stark's Park Capacity: 9,000 (after 500 extra seats were made available when they re-opened part of the Railway stand this season) - 3,500 away allocation, seated, in the North Stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny1874 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Got my info from their website, photo gives info too http://www.qosfc.com/about When Rangers went to Palmerston last season for the Challenge Cup they also got the terracing behind the goal (which on the map on the website isn't named). They have also done some concreting work over the summer on that terrace, probably to bring it back into more regular use. Id expect if the demand is such, we might also get that end.

I think a few of the above teams will have scope to extend the away allocation if the likes of ourselves and Rangers are in town and they still have tickets to sell.

Francis Albert Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 The team sits down every game? Robbie should sort that out. Seriously a fair proportion of the away support has always stood. Even before the "ultras". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambof3tornado Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Only issue with terracing is younger kids. Luckily junior is 17 now and 6ft tall so unlikely to get damaged in an ibrox/annfield type goal celebration!!! I'm more likely to come away injured!!!!

CalsideJambo Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 My mate spoke to the groundsman at Palmerston and he said that Hearts fans will get the Terregles Street terracing (holding around 2000) and the section of the new East stand closest to the terracing (probably around 500-750 seats). The work at Palmerston was apparently done on the hill behind the terracing and the concrete terracing itself was sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Any news on dumbartons attempts at temporary seating/terracing? They did ask the local council, and as far as I am aware the issue wasn't with installing the actual temporary seats, it was more to do with parking I think. The end result was that the answer was and remains no, temporary stands cannot be put in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylelauren01 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I don't know how they'll do it but 3000 Hearts fans at Central Park will be a skoosh compared to the 8000 they cram in for the stockies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylelauren01 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Apparently so. The leg of the World Championships held in Cowdenbeath attracts big numbers and brings the town to grid lock. Unbelievably it is harder to get a safety certificate for 4500 for the football than it is for 8000+ for stock car racing when the crowd has to avoid flying car and body parts!!

Every days a school day, wouldn't have thought that. Wasn't there a big court case, maybe late 70's or early 80's where some wifey got killed/badly injured by a flying wheel?
