Then i was sat on the park bench outsidenthe ground near the duck pond where all i could hear was kids setting off bangers and another family walk past throwing bread in for the ducks. A chipnicker managed to get in there first ( one up for the chipnickers! hooray! )
Well, we found the ground without a hitch (a map or one of those modern sat nav thingies is quite useful) and as for the refreshment outlet, we asked and were directed straight to it.austrianandygull wrote:Agree Jeff. Not particularly singling out Fleetwood as an outstanding example of grimness but i drove around many of the side streets and much of the town centre as i got lost and it was horrendous. You're right about the road, it just seems that the more north you go on THAT road in , the more away from normality you are. When you are there it just hits you and there is no signposts whatsoever. Considering they want to become a 'bi'g club and it was their first game in the football league, it was pretty bad. There was no atmosphere, it was just a dead place with dead fans. Obviously the club has no league history and it showed. They just didn't seem to make the effort. There was no refreshments outlet in the away end we had to walk round into the main stand and you couldn't even find where the main entrance was as it was hidden away on a side street with no signs. The stadium itself is quite good, it's just the environs and the lack of atmosphere and feeling that you're at a league match that is the issue.
