Concourse was shit so couldn't move around, queues were massive so couldn't get to the bar, there was no separate food and drink outlet so if you wanted to eat you couldn't as everybody was queueing for pints, to toilet floor was covered in piss, ground was pretty small and worst of all the roof slanted up for no reason just to make the place look bigger.

Didn't rate the stadium at all, only good thing was a few vocal home fans.

I liked it!

Maybe it was the sunshine. Maybe it was how close everything felt. Maybe it was dragging a cardiff season ticket holder to the game and having the opportunity to say how much better the stadium/team/fans were than theirs.
I just don’t know.

I tell you what it wasn’t…the fucking horrible hotdogs and the car parking.

I did too at old Trafford when we scored first in a 4-2 defeat.
I also got told off by the bloke in front for clapping too loudly when the teams came out.

I think They won the league with that result, because arsenal lost to Middlesbrough later in the day.
Beckham came on and was amazing.

I hated the lack of pubs nearby and the loud announcer that wouldn’t shut the fuck up too.

As we drove up late, I didn’t really see much of the local area and also therefore wasn’t drinking but it didn’t looks like there was much going on. Apart from a sopranos themed restaurant…that looked shite.
I really liked Bristol for the nearby pubs. After the game ended up in quite a trendy place and then meandered back to the hotel.

I was in the tabfac after the game with my city shirt on. About the only place you can dash to for a pint.

By any chance were you sat by the door with 3 others? Possibly also wearing city shirts?

Yep! I think we had near miss. I’d had enough pints/was jovial enough that I nearly said something as I was leaving.

Seemed like a decent place.

Do the Man Utd Leamington Supporters Club get singled out for special treatment too?
