WHAT IS THE GLOBE ARENA LIKE?
After 89 years at Christie Park the Club have moved to a new purpose-built stadium. At a cost of around £12m, the Globe Arena (which is named after the company Globe Construction that built the stadium) was opened in 2010. The stadium is dominated by the Peter McGuigan Stand on one side. This stand which is named after the current Club Chairman has a capacity of just under 2,200 seats. This all seated, covered stand, has a box-like feel, with a corporate glassed area to the rear. It is free of supporting pillars and has windshields to either side, essential for a football ground located near the coast.
