In this series of reviews, we’ll be sending our writers to Scottish football grounds to review the supporter experience across the country. We begin at Rugby Park, where James Cairney took in Kilmarnock’s 3-2 defeat at home to Rangers.
Transport and local amenities
The 20-minute stroll from the train station to Rugby Park is a fairly pleasant one and so straightforward that it would be very difficult to somehow lose your way. A few pubs and takeaways are scattered along the main road during the first half of the journey – ideal fayre for weary travellers like this bold reporter – before you find yourself dawdling along a residential avenue lined with townhouses on either side. You can’t quite see the stadium yet but you can certainly hear it.
