Although we didn't make a big fuss over it, Friday saw us add more seats to the stadium with the opening of the Paterson Home Improvements Family stand situated on the third bend.

Said co-promoter, John Campbell, "I spent some time sitting in the new stand just as the gates opened and thought that it would provide a terrific view of the whole track."

"We've got to thank Derek Wilkinson of Duddingston Private Hire for searching the countryside and Alan Paterson of Paterson Home Improvements for assisting in getting them in place and it is another welcome addition to seating in the stadium."

"When we arrived in Armadale Stadium, just over twenty years ago, I think there were a couple of dozen seats in the stadium, mostly in the bar and the T Bar. Now we have more than two hundred and fifty seats as we've gradually increased numbers year to year. I hope that we can fill every seat, every week from now on."

We are presenting this new grandstand as a family area and, therefore, children under sixteen must be accompanied by an adult to take a seat there.
