The West Stand Inside Out

As we approach the end of January 2004 no one can fail to be impressed with the sight of the new main stand down at Westfield. Progress for completion of the main stand is still very much on target and the club hope to be moving their offices into our new home in around 10 weeks time.

The stand itself is made up of four levels and the first draft of the plans that we have seen indicates that accommodation is split as follows: -

Ground Level: - Falkirk FC offices, Sports Bar incorporating museum, home and away dressing rooms, referee and assistants facilities, kitchen facilities, five a side football changing facilities and some small office accommodation for let.

Level One: - Split equally between a health and fitness centre and an area for future fit out-possibly a restaurant/function suite.

Level Two: - This is the level that we shall access the seating from and as such has the normal retail outlets for let and plenty toilet facilities! The area set aside for retail outlets is flexible

Level Three: - The conference and hospitality suites are incorporated on this level. They are made up of flexible partitioned areas, which will allow the club to cater for small groups as well as large parties. It will also allow flexibility to rent out as conference facilities throughout the week and close season. There are also two potential business units for let on this level.

As well as five staircases, the building also has lifts available.

Sales of commemorative bricks are still going well and all monies raised go to FALKIRK FC. The wall will be on the approach walkway to the main entrance of the stadium. There will be a normal wall of 3 feet before the commemorative bricks start!
