It was a great idea that by whoever thought it up. We’re a group of 40 year old blokes, so we went to the fan village but it was absolutely packed, so just had a pint out by the running track but it looked superb.
The atmosphere out the back was something I felt a bit jealous of that I’m not a 10 year old kid anymore. To be able to have a kick around on the first team training pitch pre game is something I’d have loved. They had the PDRL team training, touch rugby teams training, community clubs down there and the families of the academy lads who’d signed up where knocking around. To have open access to the facility like that makes people feel part of the club. There’s things they can improve on at the fan village but it’s such a fantastic concept.

It's a brilliant facility and despite the online insults from the football fans it's a great way of bringing money directly into the club. It would be great if it could be expanded in a couple of years if possible.
