"Relaxed attitudes"

At the car park, we were told that they couldn\'t let us in to the car park at that time... but that they would anyway. And in the ticket office, we couldn\'t buy any tickets unless we were members or season ticket holders or something... but they sold us them anyway.

We paid not much more than it would cost to see a Conference match in England, and for that we had a great view from high up on one side of the pitch. Happy days. Coming out wasn\'t so much fun - everybody is funnelled through one set of doors on to a single staircase that takes you on a vertigo-inducing journey back to ground level. I don\'t know how they\'ll get on when they need to evacuate the stadium in an emergency, because it must have taken about 20 minutes for us to get out, and we weren\'t the last by any means. Luckily everybody was well behaved and there was no pushing - it would only have taken a few idiots to cause a nasty domino effect down those stairs.

Location

It\'s a little bit outside the city. It looks as if they\'re laying new tram lines, so that should make it more accessible once that\'s finished.

View

In common with quite a few other grounds on the continent, the seats don\'t lift and therefore it\'s difficult to get past everybody if you happen to arrive late. Sufficient legroom, though.

Facilities

Toilets were quite busy after the match. Why are continental khazis always designed so everyone can see you having a wazz whenever the door opens?

Service in the beer queue was quite efficient at half time. I didn\'t have any hot food, so I can\'t comment on that side of it.
