I don't like the plastic pitch, but when I did security there few years back I got no trouble from the fans at all. Preferred it more to the Glasgow stadiums.

It's an ok stadium, but 4k in a stadium that holds well over 10k will always sound quiet, I could hear the conversations around me,
It has to be one of the coldest stadiums around and to top it off Arbroath won 1-0 and missed a penalty

Great atmosphere pre kick off, early goal against us dampened it down a little bit. All in all a poor performance from us but we'll go again on Saturday against Falkirk.

Nice to be back. Stadium organised for the Derby match v Ayr. Pity I was sitting in the gods in the cold and dismal surroundings of rusted rafters and tight seating arrangements. But the win was good.

Good club and stadium but seat rows are a bit close together and not a lot of legroom. Pies are good but not on sale currently plus no away supporters allowed due to pandemic rules.
