Netherdale Main Stand, Galashiels – Concrete Brutalism, Brutalist Architecture Model: Mini 032

Model 032_Netherdale Main Stand – Miniature Concrete Model
Hand-cast in fine concrete. Shaped by memory.

Some buildings make sport feel like theatre. The Main Stand at Netherdale, home of Gala Fairydean Rovers, is one of the most dramatic football structures in Britain. Designed by Peter Womersley and completed in 1964, its bold cantilevered roof, rhythmic concrete frame, and striking profile have earned it Category A listing and a devoted following far beyond the Borders.

This model celebrates its sculptural silhouette. The deep overhang, slender supports, and repeating bays demanded careful proportioning at a small scale. I wanted the cast to hold the same tension and poise that make the real stand so unforgettable.

A small tribute to a Scottish modernist masterpiece.

Brief Overview:
The Netherdale Main Stand was designed by Peter Womersley for Gala Fairydean Rovers FC. Its cantilevered concrete roof and bold modernist form made it instantly recognisable and earned it a Category A listing, one of only a handful of post-war sporting structures to receive such recognition. It remains a celebrated work of Scottish modern architecture.



Please note:
My concrete sculptures are individually hand cast in solid concrete. This means that each piece will have distinctive markings and minor blemishes due to air bubbles in the concrete. This is a natural part of the material and will mean that no two pieces are ever exactly the same.
