  • I visited Camelon Juniors FC just outside of Falkirk and I discovered that a local fan had built a stand in his back garden to see into the football stadium. You don't get this at Ibrox or Celtic Park!

    If that little stand isn’t the epitome of smaller league and junior tier games, I’m not sure what would be. Still, seeing such a supportive crew of fans shows how much the local team means to fans.

    When Camelon won the Junior Cup in 94-95 against Whitburn (my local team), I think the score was 2-0 to Camelon and it was played at Fir Park. Every game I went to support Whitburn, they won. I never made it to the final and they lost. I accept full responsibility for that. Sorry Whitburn 🙁

    Around Wrigley Field in Chicago (baseball) the owners of neighboring buildings built stands on top of their roofs in order to watch the game for free (and then to eventually charge others). The stands are still there and you can still catch a game from atop the rooftops across the street to this day.

    Eden Park Auckland, which is New Zealand’s national/ biggest stadium. Back in the 80’s a man built a stand in his back garden, it seated roughly 50 people, and ironically was nicknamed the "scotsman stand".
    When Eden park was redeveloped for the 2011 rugby World Cup finals, this stands view was taken away.
    But, if you look closely, there is a small structure inside the ground, in much the same spot, which is clearly a small tribute to the original out of ground stand.

 they charge thousands for people to sit in their front room. The Red Sox tried to build up the far stand to get more people in but they lost the court case as it would have stopped people in these apartments from watching the games.
