SPFL Tier 2, Almondvale Stadium,* 19/12/15.
It was important not to lose this to keep the differential between us and them at two wins especially since St Mirren were all but guaranteed a win at Alloa so I was disappointed to hear we’d gone one down early on.
Contrariwise (now there’s a good word) I was delighted when I heard the final score. Is it my imagination or are we scoring quite a few late goals this season?
Looks like it may be a difficult day at Falkirk on the 26th though….
*Call it the Tony Macaroni Arena if you wish

This is the home of Livingston FC. One of those pretty characterless modern stadiums (a group to which the Rock would belong if it didn’t lie directly below Dumbarton Castle.)
This is the main entrance (West Stand.) A stitch of two photos to get the whole length in.

The South Stand:-

The East Stand (again a stitch):-

You can see that unlike most lower Division Scottish football grounds the corners are filled in.
The North Stand:-

It’s tidy and compact inside certainly but I wonder how many times this has been full; except when Livi were playing in the SPL. (And not very often even then.)
A couple more photos of Almondvale are on my flickr.
*I know it’s sponsored as the Braidwood Motors Stadium but who can be bothered?
