MGM Timber Bayview Stadium, known formerly asNew Bayview, is afootballstadium in the Scottish town ofMethil,Fife. It is home toEast Fife. It was opened in 1998, after the club relocated from the originalBayview Park across town.
The stadium can accommodate up to 1,980[1] spectators all of whom are seated in a single stand running along one side of the pitch. There are open areas for future expansion. In 2008, plans were announced to increase capacity with the erection of a covered terrace/stand at the sea end of the stadium. Due to the2008 financial crisis, these plans were put on hold.
