East End Park

Eastenders Park is a favourite venue of London soap opera stars. But the best thing about East End Park is that it’s so unscottish. It may have a capacity of only 11k, but it’s built like an English stadium, with big stands and semi closed corners. The atmosphere is excellent.
First-​Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium — watching a match here reminded me of seeing a game in England. Only with better food. My goodness, I would give that bridie another go at any given meal time, 7 days in a row. Absolutely delicious. It’s loud in here, the fans are great, it’s one of the best experiences in Scottish football. If they could pack the house a little bit more, I’d give them a 5. Also if I could mail-​order those Bridies, they’d get a 6.
So when I was doing my first tour of Scotland in 2011, I also hit up every single stadium in the country. My obsession with footy (soccer to Americans) is the reason. Every stadium review — like all my reviews — are based on first-​hand personal experience, usually from multiple visits. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was «stuck» in UK for 3 months, I went to most of them yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at many of them, which I will post later. Also, when back in Scotland I plan to take more pix, and add more stadia! So watch this space!
*** return to regular review ***
It was opened in 1885 and is a stadium that all of the people of Dunfermline should be proud of.
Also make sure you try a pie here, they’re cheap and delicious. It’s close to the centre of town, which is another plus.

East End Park is the home of Dunfermline Athletic Football Club, a football (or soccer) club which was formed back in 1885, making them one of the oldest clubs in the world.
As a fan of «The Pars,» as this club is commonly known, I feel it is my duty to sing it praises by writing a quick review.
With a modest capacity of around 12,509, it’s not the Nou Camp of Barcelona, but it still boasts some of the best facilities in the country. Of note are the legendary Steak Bridies which are baked by Dunfermline’s famous «Stephen’s the Bakers». Pies are freshly delivered on match day, so if the football isn’t up to much you can rest assured that a meaty bridie will help bring a smile to your face.
At half time you can expect to be entertained by Scotland’s number 1 mascot Sammy The Tammy. His naughty pranks are legendary and his often risky antics can end up as the next days headlines. In my time I have seen Sammy construct a cardboard tank and «aim fire» at opposition fans, ski down one of the main stands in honour of the winter Olympics and make fun of countless managers and players.
The relatively small and compact stadium with its close proximity to the pitch can make for a great atmosphere, especially when a local rival comes to town. Entry to a match costs around £17−20, so it may not exactly be a cheap day out, but you can rest assured that football fans will not be disappointed to visit this humble little club.

The best football stadium in Scotchland.

The best thing about this place is the Stephens Steak Bridie… what an amazing treat at a football match. For just £2 you will be treated to the best tasting pie/​pasty/​bridie you’ve ever tasted. This even surpasses the legendary «Killie Pie» from Rugby Park.
The ground itself has good character for an all-​seater stadium, and the floodlights are the brightest I’ve ever seen! There are still traces of the astro-​turf they used to play on around the edge of the playing surface and there is a heavy police presence (not sure why!).
Great ground.

Mid size footie park in the centre of town. Good security with parking for coaches and cars to the rear. Home of Dunfermline United football Club. They also have several functions suites within the building as well as a club shop and a physio.
