Our reviewer of grounds has hardly slept a wink this week. They get to visit a new ground. So, the review of this one will be a doozy. Here goes…
| | | Salford City |
| Category | Score | Comments |
| First Impressions of the stadium, parking, ease of entry. | 6 | After a nightmare trying to find out about parking from Salford the coach parked right outside the ground. Meccano box build with no character to speak off. |
| Food & Drink, range, quality, price. | 8 | Good range of food steak pie and chips were decent and prices on deals were good. Chips were better than most |
| View from your seat, any poles in the way, obstructed view, seat broken? | 7 | Seats on side, terrace behind the goal. This was just like Suttons away stand but just £15. No obstructions. |
| Home team support, was it a library, good banter between the fans? | 2 | They were poor even at 2-1 up it was a morgue. No banter from them whatsover. |
| What were the stewards like, helpful and friendly or jobsworths? | 5 | There were lots of them but they didnt have much to do. |
| Toilet facilities, clean and well equipped with hot water, disgusting. | 1 | There was hot water and after that it wasn’t good, bloke nearest the door was on full view, ladies were filthy and the accessibility toilet had a couple of inch concrete step that needed a makeshift ramp building |
| Ticket pricing, did the price reflect the facilities of the ground? | 5 | Cheap by many standards but for a specifically built stadium the other facilities like toilets let it down. |
| Ground facilities, half time service, did they let fans outside at halftime? | 7 | Big area behind the stand that allowed drinking and smoking and the service at the concessions was quick |
| Match atmosphere, did the Dons fans give good support? | 7 | The 440 Dons made a decent noise and got louder as the game went on, unsurprisingly. |
| Ease of exit, did the carpark clear quickly, traffic around the stadium? | 7 | With just 2,508 at the game it didnt take long for the coach to slip out of the “dirty old town” (you had to be there) |
| Any other observations or comments that may have affected your scoring? | ||
