Falkirk Community Stadium is a football stadium in Falkirk in central Scotland. The stadium plays host to the home matches of Falkirk FC. The club moved to the stadium in 2004 after their old ground, Brockville Park was sold to supermarket firm Morrisons, as the ground did not meet Scottish Premier League requirements.
At present, only two stands have been completed, these being the West and North stands and many football fans have called it "Half A Stadium". The South Stand has temporary seating in place at the moment, which holds up to 735 fans. The current capacity of the ground, including temporary seating is 6,935. If the stadium is completed, the overall capacity would be around 12,800. This number could be raised even more if proposed corner pods are built.[[1]]
