The Home of Spartans
Women FC
Our home ground, Vanloq Community Stadium, is located on Pilton Drive in north Edinburgh and is part of our Spartans Community Football Academy. This modern facility includes a fully enclosed stadium that meets SFA and SFL standards, featuring an artificial pitch, floodlights, seating for 504 spectators, and an overall capacity of 3,000.
Alongside the main pitch, we have another full-size, floodlit artificial pitch. Inside, Vanloq Community Stadium boasts six changing rooms, a club room, a committee room, and a physio room. For the comfort of our fans, we also provide a PA system, food and hot and cold beverages, making match days a vibrant and welcoming experience.

Getting to the Ground
Travelling to Vanloq Community Stadium is relatively straightforward. We are based in the North of Edinburgh and well served by public transport.
Lothian Buses services number 21 and 27 head along Ferry Road and you should get off the bus outside / opposite Morrison’s Supermarket, which is at the Crewe Toll end of the road.
You can also use the numbers 19, 22, 24, 29, 37. These all make their way to Crewe Toll – just past the Western General Hospital and before the Village Hotel.
It is a 5 minute walk from Crewe Toll along Ferry Road, turning left onto Pilton Drive once you pass Morrison’s.

For fans travelling by train, Waverley Station or Haymarket are your two choices.
Car Parking
Car Parking space at Vanloq Community Stadium is highly unlikely as it will be very busy on match day. Please do park responsibly and safely as both the football club and the neighbouring Leisure Centre will have many children enjoying themselves at both venues.
Local on street parking will be available (please park responsibly).
