What Fans Say About The Recreation Ground

West Stand★★★★★

Had to watch the screen for some replays. Wall of noise behind the goal. Intimidating stuff.

West Stand★★★

Okay sightlines but nothing to write home about. Walking from town centre took about half hour. Average noise levels for a Premier League game. Standard pricing. Nothing special either way. First time at this ground. Middle rows offer the best balance.

West Stand★★★★

Solid angle on the near goal, far goal a bit distant but fine. Toilets were a nightmare at half time. Go early. Better atmosphere than I expected. Pleasant surprise.

West Stand★★★★

Could see most things. Some moments were hard to track. Red card right in front of us - could see the tackle was horror show. Train station is about 15 mins walk. Not bad. Average value for average seats.

West Stand★★★★

The angle is a bit awkward. Had to lean sometimes. Expected more given the fixture. Parked at the retail park. Easy walk.
