As far as I'm aware seating is free for all this season even for ST. I guess this cuts down on the amount of stewarding required which last season seemed to be significant numbers.

Hadn’t thought about it but yes the amount of stewards has reduced from one every five yards to basically none. Good to see a reduction in the waste of money. It is a free for all but basically the allocation of seats to ST holders was a farce as there were so many empty seats so again that is a sensible step. Less so letting the away fans sit in the middle of the home fans. They should have their own area, no need for them to be stuck in a corner - plenty of space but they should have their own area. Sooner or later this approach will cause problems.

All things being equal I shall go on Saturday. Is it the first game with a crowd that Broncos have played there? Best wishes to Crashmom and his Dad

Yup,I’m going too. I’ll have to set off in about half an hour but I’m going. Any concession stand/tea hut at the ground does anyone know?

There's a bar that also does hot drinks. And a vending machine IIRC.

Crikey. London setting the standards.

I’ve said time and time again we need to have nothing to do with lower tier Union grounds. Although it may be expensive we should move into a top draw football ground. In fairness what could go wrong with that plan.
