Worrying news from Dingwall tonight from one of their local rags

http://www.ross-shirejournal.co.uk/News/Rapid-upgrade-plan-for-Victoria-Park-7507275.htm

It looks like they could soon be in the process of constructing a stadium in Dingwall that will be compliant for the SPL

I personally don't have a problem with them being in the SPL with us but I do feel that they will have a far superior stadium

Let's be completely honest here our stadium is an uncomplete shambles that was thrown up as a temporary measure so we could play our home games in Inverness

Our board have stalled badly when it comes to stadium upgrade or improvements

Why do we still have two temporary stands behind both goals? surely these should have been bulldozed by now and replaced with permanent structures

Why has a fourth stand not been constructed? This would have made our stadium complete keeping the atmosphere in and the wind and elements out

It's time for our board to act and sort out our ground because if they don't I fear we are going to be left behind by our neighbours from the countryside

End stands hold 2720 each, main stand 2280 = 7720 or therabouts... i know cos my mate was in charge of building them.

Do they have safe standing seats? I only ask cause I need to stand on the seat to see the pitch.

You'll get a good view of the pitch when the stewards huckle you out then!

Our official capacity is 7753 as we reached that for a single game Vs Rangers (oldco).

2280 sounds about right for the main stand as I remember that figure from pre all-seater days. North/South stands are somewhere between 2450-2550 each (not sure exact number) and west stand-ette is about 4-500 or so .... overall it adds up to 7753 (officially).

I thought our record attendance, which was at home to Rangers, was 7512 and that that record still stands. that was in our first season at home in SPL and I was sure that we added 300 seats in the west stand after that. I'm happy to be totally wrong on that but maybe someone from the club could put the facts in place.

as per the stats page (and confirmed in Ian Broadfoots stats)
