Absolutely love it here. My home from home. As a season ticket holder I spend a lot of time here…read morethrough the season. Since the stadium has had it's face-lift the facilities are top class. There are plenty of bars around the stadium which you can get served at with ease before during and after the match. At half time there's a good bit of a queue usually, same with the toilets but it doesn't take too long to move. My advise is to nip out at 38 minutes to beat the queue. The bar serves wine, cider, beer, Guinness, soft drinks and crisps. The cider is delicious. There is often a band playing in the front bar in the main stand too for entertainment if the rugby doesn't cut it :) There is a good variety of food options in the food village at the main gates. There are burger vans, hotdog van, dinky donuts and pie & mash to name a few. I find them all very good. My favourite match day feed is from the chip van at the far right corner, between the main stand and family stand. The shop in the stadium is very good, it has a wide range of kit and other stock. Only downfall is that there is no changing room if you wanted to try anything on, otherwise it's great. All in all, I love it!

So we park in the city centre and take a 15 minute walk to get here. Once inside the main door and through the bag search we were processed quickly and the staff are always courteous and helpful. Our seats were upstairs and we were quite far back from the stage with a great view. As with most concert venues in this city the seats are barely comfortable, the space between the seats is almost non existent, so you are forced to be very near to total strangers and I'd rather not thanks very much. The food and drink pricing is more akin to airport charging. I noted that the price for a small Coca cola, from a drink dispenser into a paper cup, was £3.10 for an ungenerous portion, or put shortly daylight robbery. If it's comfort and relaxation you want to enjoy a concert I can assure you you're in the wrong place so it's as well Andrea Bocelli and friends were in top form.

"Rubby Park" is a stadium where all the people masturbate while they watch the footy. Thankfully…read morethat stadium is not this stadium otherwise I probably wouldn't go there. Or maybe I would. Hmm. Depends on the gender of the majority of the fans I suppose. Who am I kidding though. Rugby Park actually is home to football... and what a football team it is. This stadium is the only place in the world you can get a "Killie Pie" which sounds lethal but is actually delicious and was voted the best pie at any football stadium anywhere. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I've seen Kilmarnock play here twice. Once was against a smaller team from the northern reaches, and once was against an Old Firm team. It was similarly loud and intense and raucous for both games, which really impresses me. Any club can put out a big crowd for an Old Firm game or a big name visitor. But KIllie does it every single week, regardless of weather. I tried the Killie Pie and oh my goodness no wonder it's Britain's best pie. The girl that most recently brought me here (2011) was a little angel and shared my pie with me and made sure I had a great time with all the rough lads. One of my best footy experiences in Bonnie Scotland. 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! *** return to regular review *** Elton John played here once, but you can't have everything. It can hold 18k fans and has artificial grass. It was built in 1899 and then renovated in 1995, before hosting Blackburn Rovers, whose striker Alan Shearer scored a hat trick in that game. The stadium hosted a Scottish rugby game so finally the name came true. Scotland have played football here 4 times, most recently losing to Wales in 1997. The stadium was used in the film A Shot At Glory with Robert Duvall, and Ally McCoist used to play here. It needs to fill in its corners but I'll still give it a 5 for the pies.

But I only see them when it's warm, which it almost never is in Bonnie Scotland. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I am proud to say that I have breathed the Ayr at Air United's famous old stadium. I saw a live game here during the 90s and then again in 2011. My regret is that I can't give the place more than 3, because the bathrooms were okay, but the stands were falling apart, and the one I was in was uncovered, and it rained on me. Still, it's a ground with a lot of character and if they clean it up, I'll definitely raise the rating. Fantastic atmosphere here.

It can host 10k people which is very impressive. It's not a bad little stadium but also isn't anything special either. I remember it being very cold, as are most Scottish stadiums.

We came along early so that we could have our dinner in the restaurant within the club, called the Albany. We got a table with absolutely no problem at all, and the menus were already there. There was a fantastic selection of food on offer, such as lasagne, burgers, goujons, spicy beef noodles etc. We all decided to go for the 10oz steak, and all of our steaks were cooked exactly as we had requested. They came with mushrooms, peas and tobacco onions on the plate, and a side (we all either chose mash or chips) and a sauce (pepper sauce for me!) The food was delicious and really good quality, reasonably priced, and came quickly. As for the rest of the night in the club, we had an absolute blast. Great range of drinks, quick service, great surroundings - I definitely won't be leaving it another 10 years before I return!

There are lots of types of packages but we just went with regular entry and paid our way when we got in. There were plenty of places to buy food (mainly burgers and chips, however the burger van outside serves the most delicious burgers I ever had and really good quality) there are also a number of bars with a great selection and even though the place was packed there are that many staff it only ever took a couple of minutes to get served. As for betting we just used the guys outside along the track but shop around as their odds can differ, myself and a friend backed the same horse and ended up winning £7.50 more as a result. All in all a fantastic day out, they do evening races too but I'm not sure I would have enjoyed that quite as much
