Visiting Ainslie Park for the first time this weekend?  Here’s your handy guide:

The Spartans play their home games at The Spartans Community Football Academy, Ainslie Park Stadium, 94 Pilton Drive, Edinburgh EH5 2HF.

Getting to the Ground:

Travelling to Ainslie Park is relatively straightforward. We are based in the North of Edinburgh and well served by public transport.

Lothian Buses services number 21 and 27 head along Ferry Road and you should get off the bus outside / opposite Morrison’s Supermarket, which is at the Crewe Toll end of the road.

You can also use the numbers 19, 22, 24, 29, 37.  These all make their way to Crewe Toll – just past the Western General Hospital and before the Village Hotel.

It is a 5 minute walk from Crewe Toll along Ferry Road, turning left onto Pilton Drive once you pass Morrison’s.

For more information on these bus route and timetables please visit www.lothianbuses.com

For fans travelling by train, Waverley Station or Haymarket are your two choices.

Car Parking at Ainslie Park is likely to be limited at best, unlikely at most as it will be very busy on match day.  Please do park responsibly and safely as both the football club and the neighbouring Leisure Centre will have many children enjoying themselves at both venues.

Local on street parking will be available (please park responsibly) or you could nip into nearby Morrisons for your messages before the game and walk round to the ground.

 Entry to Ainslie Park:

Turnstiles will open an hour before kick-off.  The four turnstiles at the Pilton Drive entrance will be used for home and away fans.

Two of the turnstiles will be cash only, two of them will take cards and also be used for those who have bought tickets in advance on Fanbase.

Admission Prices:

Match Day Ticket prices for 2023-24 Season can be found here.

There will be a pay at the gate option however advance purchases via Fanbase here will save time at the turnstiles.

Supporters using Wheelchairs:

There are designated seats for wheelchairs at the front of the stand.  We also have 3 accessible parking spaces which need to be booked in advance and are available on a strictly first come/first served basis.  Please email mark.brown@spartansfc.com

Segregation:

We want fans of any and all loyalties to enjoy their visit to Ainslie Park in a grown up fashion.  There will be no segregation in place however visiting fans wishing to sit in the Main Stand have been allocated the North section.  This offers seating for 90 so get along early to save yourself from standing!

Bonnyrigg Rose fans are also encouraged to utilise the grass embankment behind the goals as their designated area.

The Newtown Roofing and Building Stand is our Family Stand and will house our young supporters who will be there to make plenty of noise with their singing and accompanying drums too!  They will also be unveiling their latest TIFO display.

Toilets:

Toilet facilities are situated behind the main stand and in the café bar (hospitality patrons only when applicable).

Spartans Merchandise Hut:

Our shop beside the turnstiles will be open pre-match.

Match Programmes will be on sale priced £3.  Half Time Raffle £1 a ticket.
