"Short Review"

It was a long time ago when I last went to watch Stalybridge. It was in an FA Cup replay against Barnet FC and I stood in the Barnet end. The ground may have changed to what I remember it and it was a one off match which was a virtual sell-out so my view might be different to a normal match.

Location

If I can remember the ground is on a large main road on which cars can park. They has a reasonable car park which I think in a normal week would be big enough for the number of fans. It was full on the night I went. It wasn't a tarmacked car park though, so it is a bit bumpy.

View

We were in 1 of the far corners that was not covered. It was standing and there were no obstructions in the way. I believe there isn't usually segregation but for this game there was. But it wasn't a bad view.

Facilities

Again a low score only due to the fact that it was packed out and segregation was put in place.

Food & Drink

Again a low score only due to the fact that it was packed out and segregation was put in place.

Police & Stewards

Police and steward did a fantastic job on the night as the previous tie between the two clubs saw fights break out. There were obviously more police than usual due to the number of fans expected. They made sure that all rival fans wern't sitting together and they said we (non supporters of either team) should go in the Barnet end just in case.
There was no trouble as i can remember which proves they did a good job.

Atmosphere

I cant remember to much atmosphere to be honest and what was trying to be generated by the Barnet fans drifted away, with there being no roof over them.
