THE GRANDSTAND UPPER

• Price See Club Info on this site
• Review The turnstiles get very busy just before kick-off. They are a tight fit but most people can get through them. Up the stairs to the main area under the stand, it is long and narrow with a large catering area and bar area. The bar can get very crowd so if you are looking for a drink before the game get there early. The catering area was clean and the staff were friendly but not much of a choice 'Burgers and the like' the price were the normal for a football club. The food was hot but the pasties I had was a bit soggy from sweating in the warping. The view from most of the stand is good with some pliers in the way depending where you sit. The seats are comfortable and unlike other areas of the ground spacious. The stand is well steward and they are helpful and friendly. Half time both the catering and bar area get packed out. The toilets were clean. After the game stand empties fair quickly.

GRANGE (CARLING) END

• Price See Club Info on this site
• Review I decided to give The (Carling) Grange End a go. The one change outside is a high metal fence separating the home and away fans. I was searched on the way in which I still find annoying. The turnstiles were busy As you go in you can see the new catering area (the old small area was shut down)was clean and the staff were friendly but not much of a choice 'Burgers and the like' the price were the normal for a football club. Clarks Pies were on sale at £1.30 a bit steep but to finally see them on sale at Ninian Park was great and gets a extra star for that the food we had was hot. The Bar was fairly busy and I was in early, towards kick off it was packed out but the staff were able to keep the beer following. Next to the bar is the  The covered Grange End looked bigger than in did in pictures and from the Grandstand, the view was good with some pliers in the way depending where you stood. The atmosphere was great; half time both the catering and bar area was packed out with people waiting the whole of half time to get their cup of tea and a burger. The toilets were portocabins they were adequate but a big improvement on what we used before. The game was shown on TV in the beer tent along with a full results service from Sky. There are only there entrance off the Grange End and at slows the flow of the fans on the away out a bit. The stewarding was mush better than last season.
