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.

“The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And the musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier was passing fair;
And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.”
—Eugene Field (1850–1895)
“A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms
Grows from a downy tip;
A terrace nine stories high
Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath one’s feet.”
—Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)
