History
Source:[1]
The Varna cycling track was built at the beginning of the 20th century for the needs of cyclists in the city, and existed until 1966. It was located on the site where the Palace of Culture and Sports stands today.
The space inside the Kolodruma was converted into a football pitch in 1915. During this period, it was deserted, as the bicycles of the cycling clubs were requisitioned for military purposes. Footballers from the city took advantage of the moment and occupied the sports facility. In those years, it still did not have seating, which is why hundreds of chairs were brought in from the nearby restaurant "Grozd" (later renamed "Dimyat") for important matches.
In the early years, the pitch was not particularly suitable for football, as its dimensions were small. For this reason, the corners from which corner kicks were taken were located on the slopes surrounding the playing field. This is also evident from the photographs preserved from this period. Due to the lack of seating, it is difficult to determine the capacity of the facility, but when the Kolodruma is full of spectators for a given football match, the press traditionally states that 5,000-6,000 people were present.
After staged improvements to the slope and dimensions of the field, as well as to the stands, the Kolodruma field was used until 1966, with its capacity increased to over 10,000 seats.
