Many Thanks to Groundhopper for putting the Mornflake Stadium under the microscope, they havent challenged for a top spot and will sit in midtable obscurity. But I think most will agree its always a decent day out in Crewe, the result helped, but a great day even without that.

| Category | Score | Comments | |
| First Impressions of the stadium, parking, ease of entry. | 7 | This is an older ground in a built-up area. The coach dropped off by the away end but couldn’t park there. The railway station is nearby. Availability of parking is very good, just a 2-minute walk to a P&D. | |
| Food & Drink, range, quality, price. | 7 | Standard range of food & drink, average quality, and pricing. Alcohol available. Long queues at the kiosk. | |
| View from your seat, any poles in the way, obstructed view, seat broken? | 7 | We were in the Ice Cream Van Stand with a side view of the pitch. The stand has a low roof and a couple of posts which could obstruct the view of play depending on your location. | |
| Home team support, was it a library, good banter between the fans? | 6 | The home fans weren’t very vocal and there was minimal banter. | |
| What were the stewards like, helpful and friendly or jobsworths? | 8 | Stewards were friendly and very tolerant. | |
| Toilet facilities, clean and well equipped with hot water, disgusting. | 6 | The toilets are dated but were clean. | |
| Ticket pricing, did the price reflect the facilities of the ground? | 6 | £25 for an adult is a bit expensive for the facilities available. | |
| Ground facilities, half time service, did they let fans outside at halftime? | 5 | No half time entertainment. Fans were allowed to smoke on the open concourse behind the stand. Limited space in the area so crowded. | |
| Match atmosphere, did the Dons fans give good support? | 10 | Excellent support from the 562 travelling Dons fans. The drum was allowed, and the noise was constant throughout. | |
| Ease of exit, did the carpark clear quickly, traffic around the stadium? | 8 | The coach was waiting on the street by the away end and our departure was relatively swift. | |
| Any other observations or comments that may have affected your scoring? | |||
