    Terrible place to watch a game of football. Not fan friendly and you need binoculars to see the pitch!

    Great gym facilities, apart for the very loud and very cheap music that's banging on the speakers unnecessarily. Invest in noise cancelling earphones.

    Alas, the most disappointing ground visited in the Scottish football league. Just 3 rows of seats along 1 side. Surprisingly, the view was better than expected. Also the catering was good, if a little pricy. Just a 25 minute walk from Waverley Station. All the positives nullified by what is a bland, soulless stadium.

    Not great when they blast the music around the whole neighbourhood. Did not appreciate All together now at 6.53 am this morning (Sunday). Also having the floodlights on when no one outside is not great for the environment.
