Galabank sits on North Street in Annan, half a mile up from the High Street and about fifteen minutes on foot from the station. Annan Athletic, the Black and Golds, have played here since 1953. It holds 2,504, with 500 seats, and the pitch is a 3G surface of 110 by 71 yards. For a visiting supporter it is an easy SPFL day out: compact, friendly, and rarely segregated.
The pitch runs north to south, and the goals sit on those ends. The northern goal is directly in front of the North End, a shallow open terrace of about three steps, and the away end when segregation is used. The southern goal is directly in front of the covered home terrace, the McGraphics Stand, with the clubhouse and bar behind it. Catering and toilets are in that south concourse. Along the west touchline, towards the river, is the Monk and Scott Stand: about 500 yellow seats under a dark roof, opened in 2008 and stopping short of either goal. Home and away fans share it most weeks. The east side, beside North Street, has no terrace, only a fence, trees and the dugouts, so there is no full circuit.
Most afternoons you can stand at the North End, sit in the Monk and Scott Stand, or drift between them. For a larger away support the North End is the allocated terrace, and part of the seating may be split. Do not assume the away turnstiles are open. Visiting clubs have been told to use the home turnstiles beside the clubhouse, with a separate gate for digital tickets. Check your own club’s note on the day.
For 2025/26 Annan listed standing, on the McGraphics Stand or the North End, at £16 adult, £12 concession or disabled, £6 for ages 12 to 16 and £3 under 12. A seat in the Monk and Scott Stand was £18, £14 and £7, with under-12s at £3. Buy online if you can, and confirm prices before you travel. One concession covers a disabled supporter and a carer.
Parking on site is tight. A few spaces sit at the North End, and disabled bays should be booked ahead. Street parking nearby is the usual answer. From April to October the campsite next door has taken match-day cars for a small fee. From the M74, junction 20 and the B722 bring you in from the north, ground on the right. From the south, come through the town lights and up North Street; the ground is on the left. The postcode is DG12 5DQ.
The Shed, at the Corner House Hotel at the foot of the walk from the High Street, is the natural pre-match pub. The Blue Bell, by the river, is the quieter pint. The clubhouse normally welcomes both sets of supporters from lunchtime, unless the club says otherwise. The pie stall has a good name, and steak pie is the local tip. Wheelchair users enter by the home turnstiles, with space in Zone 8 of the covered terrace and the front row of the Monk and Scott Stand, and accessible toilets in the home block and the clubhouse.
Take a coat for the open North End. The Solway weather does not negotiate. The ground will not overwhelm you, which is the charm: a short walk from the pubs, and a clear view of the goal in front of your end.
