The Visiting Covered Terrace
The covered terrace is situated on the west or Belfast side of the ground and is essentially a covered terrace of fifteen tiers with a paddock at the back. This section of the ground is often the most popular place for the most vocal fans of visiting clubs to gather, however segregation is rarely required at Lisburn Distillery games and home and visiting fans are allowed to sit or stand wherever they wish in the spectator facilities offered for Football. The terrace can safely accommodate 1,500 spectators. The terrace occupies an area of around one third the length of the ground.

Grows from a downy tip;

Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath one’s feet.”
