Strathclyde Homes Stadium is a multi-use stadium in Dumbarton, Scotland situated right below the famous Dumbarton Rock. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of Dumbarton F.C.. The stadium has a capacity of just over 2000, and was built in 2000 after the move away from Dumbarton's traditional home, Boghead Park.
The stadium is a one-stand affair, officially opened on Saturday 2nd December 2000 prior to the visit of Elgin City F.C.; a match which ended 3-0 to the Sons. It is nicknamed 'The Rock' by Sons fans, as it is adjacent to Dumbarton Castle. Open areas ring the three sides without stands, which could be used for future expansion, assuming Dumbarton undergoes a revival and contends for a Scottish Premier League place.
The Scotland international team have also used the stadium for training purposes before playing a home match.
Aside from football the stadium also hosts many other events; wedding receptions, conferences & various parties are held in the Allied Distillers suite. The ground of the stadium have also been used for 'Cruise for Charity' an event which brings together modified car enthusiasts from around Scotland to raise money for charity, arranged by [1].
