| Car Parking was free for us in the ground (just had to show the season ticket card), and stewards only allow folks in the grandstand seats who had passes (they had a named checklist), so that was pretty smooth, but again this was only Swinton so not a great amount of fans.
They need to move the shop from the entrance to the bar though, was difficult getting through at times, but bar was fine, food was very limited, only chips available if your veggie, but seeing the ground not much of a surprise.
Litmus test will be when we get Bradford or Leigh, as crowd will probably get close to 1000 with the amount of traveling fans, that might be a bit of a mare based on what we saw yesterday, but all in all hopefully they will overcome some of the teething issues.
In terms of the performance what can I say, it was a typical London performance, scoreboard did flatter us a little. The game in two weeks is key, we have to win our away games vs the weaker teams to have any chance making the top 4. That game plus the home game vs Fax are really two must win games.

Absolutely - and this is what CN doesn't get.

| Obviously I haven't been yet but with some of the comments on here and looking at the Video of the highlights the ground does seem awfully Micky Mouse! I guess I might find it in myself to get along but can't say it will be with too much enthusiasm.
Still looking forward to Headingley on Sunday night and the Brutus a week on Saturday!

| You aren't by any chance on the Sunday morning train from Kings Cross to Leeds are you Paddock?

| MMmmm, not sure about the You Tube video being a negative Paddock, at the Hive our You Tube vids' look awfull, two drab and grey, empty terraces and a sp populated far end with what appears to be zero atmosphere.
Whereas the first Video of Ealing, looked, well, ... better!
Not as modern or smart for sure, but just better! I can only put it down to 600+ people looking completely lost in a 6000+ modern, "modula" arena, but looking quite at home in a ramshackle 2-3000 set-up.
Just an impression, which I admit may well be wrong, but the 600+ against Swinton, at Ealing looked better than even the Bradford and Leigh atmosphere's at the Hive.
