| First Impressions of the stadium, parking, ease of entry. | 7 | Coaches dropped off by the away end and were there waiting at the end of the match. I’m not sure how easy it was for those driving to park. The stadium is small. Entry via two very narrow turnstiles, the travelling drum certainly didn’t fit. |
| Food & Drink, range, quality, price. | 6 | Sausage, chips & bottle of water was £8. Burgers, hot dogs also available but no alcohol. Long queue at the only outdoor kiosk. The card reader didn’t work so initially cash only until rectified. We were told that staff were new to the role. They struggled to keep up with orders and consequently the chips were a bit undercooked, and the chip fat needed changing. |
| View from your seat, any poles in the way, obstructed view, seat broken? | 8 | We were located behind a goal with plenty of room to find our preferred seats. No obstructions. No obvious broken seats although some were covered in bird mess. |
| Home team support, was it a library, good banter between the fans? | 5 | The home support was fairly quiet and there was minimal banter. |
| What were the stewards like, helpful and friendly or jobsworths? | 7 | interaction was minimal and they were polite. Helpful in allowing the drum to bypass the turnstiles. |
| Toilet facilities, clean and well equipped with hot water, disgusting. | 6 | There were only 3 cubicles in the ladies one of which didn’t lock, the gents were ok but looked in need of a clean. Warm water, soap & hand towels were provided. |
| Ticket pricing, did the price reflect the facilities of the ground? | 6 | £26 for an adult which increased to £28 if you bought on the day, felt very pricey based on the facilities. |
| Ground facilities, half time service, did they let fans outside at halftime? | 5 | No HT entertainment. Facilities were adequate. Fans were allowed out to smoke. |
| Match atmosphere, did the Dons fans give good support? | 9 | Dons’ fans were excellent especially when we went a goal down. Drum allowed. |
| Ease of exit, did the carpark clear quickly, traffic around the stadium? | 8 | Coaches were by the away end. Traffic around the stadium cleared fairly quickly. |
