What to expect from the New Douglas Park crowd?

Only boasting two stands at the ground, it’s no small ask for 6,000 crowd to generate a big atmosphere. However, fighting against the odds, they manage to create quite a bit of noise! Fans know that they are punching above the weight everyone expects, so they do everything they can to show their team deserves their place in the Premiership. They’re a really friendly group, so you’ll enjoy a bit of banter with them if you’re an away fan.

The stadium might only hold around 6,500 people but don’t let the size of the ground fool you, the atmosphere at New Douglas Park can get as feisty as anywhere in the country. A lot of the time the vibe is a family friendly one with spectators of all age and background attending. However, when the game goes against Hamilton, the atmosphere can turn sour. Portions of the crowd can get very boisterous and there have been incidents of smoke bombs and bangers being thrown onto the pitch!
