1. Why you were looking
forward to going to the ground (or not as the case may
be): 2. How easy was your journey/finding the ground/car parking? The journey was very easy as we travelled down on the train which took nearly an hour. 3. What you did before the game pub/chippy.... home fans friendly? After lubricating our vocal chords on the train (and a few cans) we decided to go straight into the town centre and called into a Wetherspoons establishment (the one next to that big ferris wheel). After a few jars we decided to make our way to the ground which was a good 20 minute walk. 4. What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of the ground? Didn't really give the ground a thought until we got inside where looking at the Brian Clough stand & the Trent end I was pleasantly surprised at how big they were. I can remember thinking how the main stand could do with a spruce up i.e knocking down & re-building it! 5. Comment on the game itself, atmosphere, stewards, pies, toilets etc.. The game itself was nothing to shout home about but I put that down to Kevin Blackwell's tactics. United fell behind as early as the 4th minute & with United only having the odd attempt on goal, Forest looked more than comfortable holding onto the 1-0 lead. The atmosphere was reletavley poor coming from both sets of fans. I couldn't complain about the stewards as our lot were pretty quiet throughout the game. I never bothered with the half time refreshments, but the toilets were pretty clean & spacious. 6. Comment on getting away from the ground after the game: Getting away from the ground was hassle free & we were back at the train station within 25 minutes. 7. Summary of overall
thoughts of the day out: |
