Observations on yesterday

Hardly any lighting in the toilets. Ran out of paper towels.

Gret post in the way of my view.

 

I agree about the experience. Matchday programme too small and nowhere near as good as ours. Did like the player interviews asking them random questions though. Car park took half an hour to get out which they should be able to do much quicker. The way to the gents is way too narrow even for skinny people to walk in and out of and nothing was done about people smoking in there. Plus the female steward was a party pooper for stealing the inflatable willy.

 

We watched the game through the goal net and there was a bloke to our right who's seat was directly behind a support post.

Also heard bloke behind us say they had run out of pies at half time.

I like league one, and these smaller clubs look after my blind mate much better, but they're a squeeze for a large away support like yesterday.

 

I have to say I love visiting the smaller grounds. Rochdale last week was a joy:
- proper old fashioned ground.
- best fish shop in England.
- best away end in the League with loads of tickets.
- best programme in the division. Written by fans for fans.
- beast pre match music i’ve ever heard.
- good set of ‘proper’ supporters.
- easy to get to the ground and away.
- brilliant performance and three points.

Pity they have such a dick as a manager.

 

A lot of the complaints in this thread are funny considering they're the same complaints people have had about Barnsley.

Car park taking too long to get out of.
Spiders in the toilets
Smoking being allowed
Running out of pies
Stewards removing inflatables

 

Forgot about the car-park! Was well over 40 minutes for us!

 

Last month they applied for planning permission to flatten the ground and build this

 

That stand looks a nice design for west stand , if god forbid s it ever has to go

 

Did I miss s goal ?

 

Following advice on here we walked over to Tesco and had a drink and a Bun strolled back and drove straight out and home.

 

best chippy is in Haxby, won awards etc

 

Hope you don’t get a ticket in the post for parking there. I seem to remember last time I went that they have a strict time limit on parking on match days, to deter football fans from taking shoppers’ spaces. There may have been number plate recognition cameras to enforce it. Apologies if I am wrong but I just have a vague memory from our last visit there that this was so

 

No I was in the stadium car park, I ment we walked over to Tesco and went to the cafe, then by the time we strolled back to the ground the traffic had cleared.

 

Sorry! I didn’t read it properly. Good decision to wait for the crowd to clear before getting in the car. I actually got away with parking in Franky and Bennies on the last visit. Had a coffee in there just in case anyone was watching as I parked.

 

Are they buying Rotherham’s ground off them?
I’d hate us to have a ground like that. It epitomises everything I dislike about soulless graveyards bart any kind of atmosphere that people crave these days. It’s similar to sitting in the b & q cafe.

 

Bloody hell that's bad. We were on a row level with the disabled entrance to the ground near the Radio Sheffield car so wasn't too bad compared to some that must have taken an hour. Next time will set off earlier and use Old Farmhouse that's also three quid but you know you will get straight off.

They let the coaches leave first then still waited around for cars. Would be better getting shut of cars of no more than a handful first, whilst waiting for the bigger vehicles to get ready for off.

 

he pick the songs tho lol

 

The biggest laugh was seeing some of the fat bar stewards who follow the club trying to get into the Gents, not to mention the narrow turnstiles. I don't know how the fat lasses managed in the Ladies...we seem to have more than our fair share of lard buckets among the fans...

 

Sizist!!!
