It was once one of Scotland's best-known football stadiums, regularly hosting top-flight matches and attracting thousands of cheering supporters from across the country.

Old story, but interesting to see the terracing is still there 50 years after the club went bust.

I'm guessing this is the end which now has the new seated stand?

Nope, looks like that is "The Kop" end behind the goals. Looks really odd, as does the end I was thinking of which seems to be made up of 2 or 3 different stands..

I'm sure I read in my ancient Simon Inglis book on all the UK's football stadiums that the curved bar at the front of the stand in the first pic was taken from a cinema or theatre and installed in the stand.

Each of the 8 stadiums at the World Cup in Qatar will have air conditioners to battle the hot temperatures and to keep the air clean.

There's something so sad about disused football grounds. Plough lane was another where the grass got long but at least the valley returned

I wonder how many balls flew into the water? The stadium is very close to the water. And if they hit harder than our backyard team, they have a sad statistic on balls in the water

Look at the bend in that tier - WTF looks like three bus loads of valley rams just sat down in there.
