Arriving early in
the Flyer, last season,it was `about turn' at the infamous ginnel, for route march around most of Victory Parks outer perimeter , having
discovered the game, for the first time, was segregated.
 
Greeted by a phalanx of stewards, and searched , we entered
the ground to take up our positions.
Stadium.
There’s nothing
special about this stadium, but given freedom to roam around all 4 sides of
same, it can be a pleasant place to watch a football match. Segregation
rendered such freedom of movement impossible, and the facilities we were left
with were of a decidedly mixed value.
Over 1400 County
fans were present last season, so I suppose to be given about a quarter of the available
seating was fine. The catering was OK
too, but the toilet facilities , for 1400 were less than wonderful. Only 4
males could use the facility at any one time …..there was water and paper
towels ( hooray!), but not bins to deposit same in after drying ones mits (
boo!).
Sustenance!
Due to segregation,
the decidedly superior `Magpies Nest’ was not available to us , so it was
back to the Victory Snack Shack which we were familiar with from 2 seasons
ago. The Fare on offer was OK….the pies were excellent….I sorted a meat and
potato which was fantastically good.
From others the pies got the thumbs up
too, but burgers and hot dogs got a mixed reception.
