Supporters Bar:

When games are not segregated visiting supporters are welcome to use the bar facilities at the ground.

The 'Legends Lounge' bar is located in the corner of the ground next to the Boro Shop, at the opposite end to where away fans are housed.

Liberty Way  is a modest stadium, a gaffe shared, much to the host clubs ire, with Nuneaton RFC.

With no segregation in place, fans have been  able to switch ends at half time previously, mixing amicably throughout, but the game is likely to be segregated this season.

There was cover behind both goals, and covered seating available too, thus with the stewards brilliantly friendly County fans were able to relax and enjoy the game .

Sustenance!  

This was a disappointment. In 2016/17 the food was excellent, but the purveyor of foodstuffs had changed last term, and last season’s ` seasons best’ hot dog was replaced by a particularly wimpish offering with onions best saved for the bin, and that’s where the whole thing went after a bite or two.

Disappointing !

 The picture was the same elsewhere as I found no one particularly thrilled with the burgers etc.

The relaxed atmosphere however…. enabled access to the bar on the ground which proved a welcome shelter from the weather’s worst efforts outside, but the beer was nothing special old hedgie was advised. 

     

Programme.       

There were 36 pages of `Boro’   which was an attractive read at £2.50. I particularly enjoyed  page 5 where Tommy Wright extolled fans to ` Make some noise today, and get behind the boys from first whistle to last’ when of course  by that time dear old Tommo would be far away and serving another cause.
