Footie was ok, for a friendly, you can see why they are world class as the players are generally bigger, and more athletic.
But it was the crowd that was my downer. The parking in the trading estate was atrocious, parking on grass, on footpaths, blocking entrances,etc. Then at the match a constant stream of people - late to their seats, up and down the steps to the toilet or the kiosks, people half-jokingly saying the wanted a refund when Neymar went off.........
I think I'd prefer us to stay L1/Championship than risk turning into the circus of 'big' football.
We should be like the theatre and not let any late-comers in until half time.
Help preserve the peace and calm.
And as for anyone doing mexican waves....
To be fair, the traffic was absolutely horrendous last night. We accounted for that and still didn't get to the ground until 7:15. We thought we'd left early enough to get there at 6:30 but our usual 40 minute drive took 1.5hrs.
The only reason we got to the ground on time, was because we were regulars and ignored all the temporary parking signs (some 15 minute walk from the ground) and parked in our usual spot in the industrial area opposite Asda.
