How Easy Was The Ground to Get To (from the station, by car, etc)
The ground is quite well hidden and hard to find. Also the place doesnt have a train station...its almost as if they dont want you to go there!
If Applicable, How is Parking Near The Ground?
Plenty of free street parking in the streets around the ground. Ive been 4 times, got there late sometimes and with some relatively big crowds and never struggled.
Based on Where You Were Sat, How Was the View?
The home terrace behind the goal is excellent, quite steep and no pillars. Views all around the ground are excellent.
How Were The Stewards on The Day?
Got more jobsworth the higher up the Leagues they've got. In non league, they used to allow fans in the Memorial Stand to go into the bar underneath from the terrace before kick off. First time I went there as a League ground, there were two stewards on the door who I walked right past. When I came out 15 minutes before kick off, they demanded to know how I got in and that I needed to go through the turnstiles. I pointed out I already had, so my ticket wont work again and that I walked right by the two of them to get in but they denied and said I didnt...obviously not jobsworth enough then...so I got kicked out and told to go back round. Obviously my ticket didnt work a second time in the electronic turnstiles, I explained why to the guy on the turnstile who then had to call the same stewards over to give him permission to let me in. A total ballache caused by a pair of utter jobsworths. I also heard a few complaints from fans around me that day that a lot of fans had received banning orders due to being ejected by heavy handed stewards. And that was just the home fans!
If You Ate at The Ground, How Would You Rate the Food?
Never ate.
How Was The Atmosphere At The Ground, From Both Sets of Supporters? Does the Stadium Hold the Noise?
The atmosphere is very good really.
How Are the Pubs and Local Attractions in The Local Area?
Not a huge amoutn nearby, but there is a good chippy around the corner, and the ground itself has two good bars on site. The one under the Memorial Stand is excellent and a good size as well.
Overall Score Out of 10?
Excellent ground for League One level.
8/10
