God it was awful. Just so many little things that add up to not really enjoying the event, and certainly things that with Koukash's money, should be easily fixed. A big screen, maybe? A lot of that first half was spent at the opposite end of the field, and you couldn't tell what was happening a lot of the time, or even who had scored. Which brings me to the second suggestion, a better microphone/speakers for the announcer? Couldn't hear a thing. Pre-match entertainment? Even the running through of the team, seemed to be done at the last minute, at super speed. Maybe we're spoilt at Headingley, but nothing about this game felt like an 'event'.
And things that aren't really Salford's fault, but annoying none the less; taking the bottle caps off? Has that ever ended well? Decided against a drink as was standing, and it was cold and windy - hands would have frozen off or drink would be knocked over. And what's wrong with a chip van inside the ground? Not all of us want a pie or hot dog!
Anyway, I have to pick and choose my away games with working shifts, I won't be hurrying back to Salford any time soon.
