… my love affair with the Arthur Waite is over!!!!

Views, acoustics & nostalgia aside! It really is a khazi eh! The facilities are f*cken dreadful. I left my seat 5 mins before ½ time to go for a p*ss and a beer. Well I managed the former and finally got served just after the 2nd ½ whistle blew so had to spend the next 5 minutes swigging it back so couldn’t enjoy it and missed the only goal of the game! I know them kids are on minimum wage but the one that served me couldn’t even find his bottle opener and forgot to give me change until I reminded him!!! Also, the queues for the toilet at ½ time down there were shameful with parents and their kids busting to go. Proper shambles …

Yeah I know that concourse was only ever meant to accommodate the seats in the old format when the terrace was down below but really! Yeah, I know we have to redevelop the main stand first but it’s a f*cken joke. Why can’t they have people going around the concourse selling beers in some other manner? Why do people who already have a beer in hand insist on standing chatting where people are trying to get a beer?

Throw the performance, embarrassing home support and weather into things … we went home thinking ‘f*ck that for a while!’ …

I couldn't see / enjoy it, it was so packed ...

Nothing is fool-proof - fools are too ingenious

Im exactly the same, i wouldnt even consider getting a beer or going for a piss at half time, its a shame you cant though.
Luckily im Block X so its not super hard to get outside at HT, but ive seen some people not used to it panic due to the mass body of people.
But atleast we have a pretty blue floor
However, ive had my seat 17 years since i was 10 years old and i love it.. i know most of the people near me to chat with and the view is very good (minus one gurder which blocks the equivalent of one of the white painted lines on the pitch).
Looking forward to gantry being removed next year also as im row 44 which should make me able to see the screen and anything above row 10 of the main stand
