Yes, there are seven wonders of the world, but in Mexico, you can see 8 of them when my gf is visiting home. That's why they call in the "Ochoview" when she's in town.
First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - watching Stenhousemuir at Ochilview was something I always wanted to do. I finally experienced it in 2011, and it was a bit underwhelming. I think because only half of the 4k capacity was filled, and it was a bit quiet. It was a dour 0-1 loss, and the stadium never really generated much noise. I still enjoyed the experience and will give this old, legendary facility a solid 3 star rating. I came back to take pix in Fall 2014 and will upload those at some point.
What I don't like, is the plastic pitch. Makes the whole thing seem a bit more amateur.
So when I was doing my first tour of Scotland in 2011, I also hit up every single stadium in the country. My obsession with footy (soccer to Americans) is the reason. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are based on first-hand personal experience, usually from multiple visits. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to most of them yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at many of them, which I will post later. Also, when back in Scotland I plan to take more pix, and add more stadia! So watch this space!

The stadium opened in 1890 and has less than 4k capacity, and yet houses two teams, the traditional tenant Stenhousemuir (Stan's House Music), and the new tenant East Stirlingshire.
It has a plastic pitch, and only half of the stadium is actually in use for spectators. It's not a bad little stadium, and since it's so helpful to other local clubs I'll give it a 3. read more
