Would honestly hate going along to that every week. Agree with that mate, other than the stadium I don't see how stirling wouldn't be considered a good away day?

JakeSAFC Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hopefully cowden are down by the time we play them . Elgin and Stirling could have nothing to play for the last 2 games Doubt that, will be massive games for us, Elgin and Annan till the end of the season.

And the chippie is decent but apart from that the town is quite a walk from the stadium if you don't have much time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the middle of nowhere, no pubs nearby. At least at Berwick you can stop off at a few pubs on the high street before going over the bridge.

We used to get there at 11am so it's all about the preparation. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in the middle of nowhere which doesn't help my case, but the towns quite good and my personal opinion is that I'd rather an away day like stirling than a away day like berwick, forfar, Montrose, cowdenbeath or clyde however at least forfar, Montrose and berwick have decent grounds.

Different things for different people but an away day for me has plenty decent boozers within walking distance of the ground. Stirling is one of the worst in the league for that. Berwick, Forfar, Montrose and ouselves have boozers within 5 minute stagger to the game. Forthbank is an alright ground. Still the only place I ever bought some juice (some kids drink as I was dying of a hangover), was given the bottle but then had the cap taken off me by a steward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the worst type of grounds for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the worst type of grounds for me. I would take Forthbank over any other stadium in the bottom 2 divisions....however, it could be improved. A singing section has been tried previously and (I'm lead to believe) the lads no longer attend games, but I would also like to see behind the goals open for that use.

Station Park 2. Annan 3. Elgin 4. Montrose 5. Stirling 6. Edinburgh 7. Clyde 8. Berwick 9. Cowdenbeath Grounds in this league are pretty poor, top 4 in this are decent, but Forthbank is effectively a tidier looking better sized Broadwood. Being stuck to a seat along one touchline of the ground is shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty grounds in the lower 2 leagues that are better than Stirling's - Peterhead for example basically have the exact same as your ground (2 stands opposite) but with the added bonus of terracing all the way round and a cracking social club in the stand.
