Spartans F.C. - Ainslie Park

Ainslie Park on Pilton Drive in north Edinburgh is the home ground of The Spartans F.C. The stadium has a capacity of 3,000 (504 seating). The club played their first game at the new stadium on 18 July 2009 against Conference North side, Blyth Spartans. Ainslie Park is only part of the new project that The Spartans F.C. have invested into their new ground. It is part of a wider development of the Spartans Community Football Academy. The new facility incorporates a fully enclosed stadium which meets SFA and SFL criteria, with a grass pitch, floodlights, seating for 504 spectators and an overall capacity of 2,400. A full size, floodlit artificial pitch sits adjacent to the main playing area and the accommodation incorporates six changing rooms, a club room, committee room and physio room. Many youth games have already been played there and the senior team are currently using it as a training facility. The first team have already used the artificial pitch to host friendlies.
