Notes

Cappielow is a district of Greenock in Inverclyde, west central Scotland. It is home to Scottish Football League side Greenock Morton F.C. The name Cappielow, taken alone, usually refers to the Cappielow Park stadium, but it can also refer to a small area of housing or the adjoining industrial estate.

Cappielow Park is found on banks of the River Clyde, across East Hamilton Street, to be found on the way out of Greenock towards Port Glasgow on the way to the motorway to get to Glasgow. The uncovered home terrace behind the goals on the turnstile side runs along Sinclair Street, which is mentioned in the Morton song “Do you know where Hell is – Hell is at Love Street, Heaven is at Cappielow, just off of Sinclair Street.”

The ground can be reached easily by train from Glasgow, as most Gourock trains stop at Cartsdyke, located only 5 minutes walk from the ground.

Cappielow’s etymology is allegedly of Scandinavia origin, although details of this are sketchy. It has been home to the club since the early part of the 20th century. Refurbishment has recently been completed, and presently the capacity is around 11,000, with 5,741 of these being seated. The area behind the western goal is
