Ravenscraig Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium, in Greenock, Inverclyde, Scotland. The stadium is primarily set up for athletics, with a running track, but it is also the traditional home of Greenock Juniors Football Club. The stadium underwent a £1.7 million refurbishment in preparation for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.[1] [2]
The stadium was built in 1958 with a cinder track, upgraded to synthetic in 1992.[3] Replacement floodlighting was announced in 2015.[4]
In the 1959 - 60 season, a capacity crowd of 8,200 watched Greenock Juniors draw 1–1 in a Scottish Junior Cup quarter final with Johnstone Burgh.[5]
In November 1972 the stadium hosted the first ever official international women's football match to be played in Great Britain. Scotland was defeated 3 - 2 by England. This was almost exactly a hundred years after the first men's international between the two nations.[6] [7]
