Overall was decent enough for the money. Kids enjoyed themselves and a fair bit for them to do. Nice touch opening up the changing rooms which I've never seen before. Jesus Christ they are sh*t though arnt they. Appalling for a league one club. The away one looked like a school changing room from the 1980s. Also a nice touch giving out the free food from piglets which was very tasty. I second the above in how fit and athletic the players looked too. Also nice to see Matt Taylor there with his wife and kids mixing with the fans. I’ve heard a few times the idea is for the away dressing rooms to be sh**e unless you’re trying to achieve a certain grading to host international games. No danger of that for us. Idea being that it’s not comfortable for the away team and therefore distracting them. No excuse for ours, though. |

It really is awful. I'm surprised it's allowed to be honest. Mind you ours is shocking as well. It must be rammed when 18 players , coach staff etc are all in there. I can't see how there is enough room at all. It hit home how we really do have appalling facilities. |

That all sounds great. Maybe we should have two threads this season: What are we happy about What are we moaning about Bring a bit of balance to The Force. My guess is that one thread might be slightly longer than the other |

I think the managers who are most into it are your old school managers like Ferguson and managers like Warnock. |

Hopefully the proposed new East Stand will incorporate better changing rooms, maybe even separate ones for the women's team. |

Might take a few tastes for me to decide if I like it or not.. The taster shot was a little glass, but still.. nice enough. Had a few pints of that before moving back onto Heineken. |
