My first visit to Barton last night. Can't say it thrilled me. It's neat once you get on the concourse and in fairness the views from the west stand seat I had were good.
However having to negotiate muddy waste land in the pitch darkness was disgraceful, god help ranyone who was unstable on their feet and massive improvement is required with that. Having parked on the Unicorn car park I didn't have problems getting away.For such a big stand I was surprised that only 4 turnstiles allowed enterance, this led to the 15min delay, people wiring needed the toilet and were allowed in only to be let out again to rejoin the que instead of just taking the ticket stub of them. Clearly a large crowd presents them with problems. On a whole I much preferd the Willows.

We parked at the Unicorn and enjoyed some good pre match banter with some of your fans.Great to see Andy Gregory and Graham Holroyd in there as well.Nice stadium but not as nice as the LSV.

Went to the match and thought it was like watching paint dry, the highlight was the England mascot taking on the drummer boy in the north stand with his drum and said mascot trying to get a mexican wave going. what the two teams got out of it beggars belief, there again the Sale sharks fan next to us in the south stand seemed to enjoy the bore fest.
I've never left a Salford match before the end but I was on my toes with fifteen to go in this ripping encounter. I suppose it's the same for the Aussies when they play us. Men and boys springs to mind.

Ow yeah and only in rugby league at an England match would you proudly present the Scotland team to an English audience. Well I say team there was a rag tag of NINE yes nine blokes wandering around the pitch they couldn't even raise a squad to walk around, and the only one I reconised was the Sheffield based Aussie Henderson. The RFL strikes again Cringeworthy.

On the one plus note that fella Sinfield can't half kick goals I think they were all from the touchline, no wonder the Sale fan was impressed.

That's a little strange considering last season I found you could walk between stands with impunity.

And as for that mascot with the drum and the Mexican waves, I found it to be a sign of how much the standard of support in modern sport has dropped. Manufactured atmospheres are c[ir[/iap.

had done myself most of the season when needed too and even that night in question in the first half had done yet second half was told No more.
