Maybe someone who attended could give us there experiences?

More importantly what was the actual attendance?

Looked like one man minus the dog on Twitter.

653 announced.

Guess they must all have been in the bar keeping warm.

CN let others offer there opinion

Is that to much to ask?

People are allowed opinions.

So long as that includes my good self.

No, didn't think so.

Are you an unhappy person?

Only where Broncos are concerned.

Other than that I generally have a whale of a time.

But CN I believe you didn't attend.

I was curious as to how it went for those that did attend

Be generous and let others who attended have an opinion. Don't always feel the need to keep up this non sensical negative bravado and offer opinion on every topic.

That's why I asked what the attendance was.

Admittedly I did find out a few minutes later.

Using your logic 653 people are allowed to comment on this fixture.

Even if, as I strongly suspect, non-attending ST holders were included in that figure.

Came out with the wrong attitude in the first half. Ref allowed a lot of forward passes and latitude at the play the ball. Second half we had clearly had the riot act read. Improved enough to get the win. I think quite a lot of work is still needed. More 1 man rugby than I would like to see and some need for clearer leadership.

If we play next week anything like that it'll be embarrassing.

How that ignorant idiot can post on this thread when he clearly didn't or have any intention of going is beyond me.

Still back to the thread. It took us a while to get going. Despite training and having played on it previously they weren't sure how the ball would bounce so it led to some hesitancy. The first half started well with some strong defense but we lost our way a little and throwing a number of forward passes didn't help. The ref only seemed to penalise us and not them. We tried to play the game at a fast tempo but it seemed to backfire.

We came out for the second half and played a lot more positively and eventually it became one way traffic. Clearly that is the way to play on this pitch and quite possibly we will blow some teams away as we get used to playing games on it. I'm guessing that training on it and playing a game are quite different. Having seen the videos of the guy from PNG I think it will suit him down to the ground.

As for the experience, there were clearly some teething troubles with people with tickets for unreserved seating sitting in reserved seats. I won't talk about the public address which made the announcer sound if he was doing his best Norman Collier impression. Also not sure how they will cope in the event of a larger away following than today. Only time will tell.

A five hour round trip for me stopping off in Ealing Broadway for lunch which means that I will be selective which games I attend when I have to use public transport.

How you can read my posts when you've got me on ignore is beyond me.

& anyone else who isn't a hypocrite or got X ray vision.

I thought match admin was appalling, a desk under a gazebo to take/sell tickets with one person on it, will be interesting for a bigger crowd. Personally I would have given out info about the ground/facilities and a welcome message so you didn't have to guess where everything was. We never found the programme seller. Announcer was the worst I have heard, not even any explanation of who Mr Genders was just that he had died and there was to be a 1 minute silence. I've still no idea where my season ticket seat was/might be but as I had taken a guest we went elsewhere to sit (far side) and stand in the 2nd half. Work to do with the team but no suprise there. Heaven knows what it will be like with a bigger crowd - anyone know how much the car parking was?

There doesn't appear to be parking restrictions around the ground so easy to park on the street. I'd agree about the set up, as there is still a lot to address. Not sure a programme is being produced, more of a monthly publication which is complimentary. No nothing to clarify where or how you got hold of it. If you were lucky enough to go in the bar you might have found the right person.

Think the idea of setting out where things happen would help. Halifax should be an interesting challenge off the field as well as on.
