Hullfox Posted 14 January 2005 Posted 14 January 2005 Nobody told me it was uncovered seating. No bloody wonder the tickets were only a tenner. Guaranteed that we'll suffer one of the worst rain storms ever. Marvellous, bloody marvellous.

Shauno45 Posted 14 January 2005 Posted 14 January 2005 Link What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters? With delays to the building of the new South Stand, away fans will once again for this season find themselves being housed in a temporary stand on the Eastern side of the ground. The stand is more reminiscent of the type found at the 18th hole of the British Open Golf Championships, rather than at a football ground and has a capacity of 1,700. As you would expect from a temporary stand the facilities are basic and the stand has no roof, leaving fans exposed to the elements. Dave Croston a visiting Tranmere fan adds; 'it was raining on our visit and the walkway in front of the the away stand soon became a grey coloured quagmire, with large pools of water forming on it. I would suggest that heavy footwear is recommended on rainy days. Add to this the inadequate small portacabin toilets, the food facilities that were housed in a tiny wooden building with one narrow opening from which to gain your food or beverage, with only one person at a time being served, then it all added up to not a very pleasant experience'. However the leg room is adequate and you do get a good view of the playing action being housed close to the pitch. Remember to wrap up well in winter as the wind that comes off the Irish Sea can go right through you! On the whole though I found the ground to be a welcoming one, I just hope they build that new South Stand soon!
