Only the main stand at Meadowbank is used for City games and as crowds here are pretty small, finding a good view isn't difficult. Meadowbank has a running track which can prove annoying after a few minutes as the players seem to be so far away. The kiosk under the main stand is open for the sale of tea, coffee, pies etc at half time. It isn't cheap though. For season 1998-99, pies were £1.25 each.
