Ainslie Park
Saturday’s game against Pollok takes place at City Park, rather than Ainslie Park. City Park is located off Ferry Road in Edinburgh close to Crewe Toll roundabout.
From the City Centre, the 27 bus will drop spectators just outside City Park.
In December 2005 Spartans announced plans to build a new home that will benefit both the club and the wider community of northern Edinburgh. The Spartans Community Football Academy will be built at a site next to Ainslie Park Leisure Centre on Pilton Drive and will cost about £3.5 million. It is expected to be ready by early September 2008.
The new facility will incorporate a fully enclosed stadium which meets SFA and SFL criteria, with a grass pitch, floodlights, seating for 504 spectators and an overall capacity of 3,000. A full size, floodlit artificial pitch will be installed adjacent to the main playing area and the accommodation will incorporate six changing rooms, a club room, committee room and physio room.
Celtic manager Gordon Strachan, who grew up in the area, is patron of the Spartans Community Football Academy.
