Priestfield Stadium

[EssexBladesMan]

More like Pissfield stadium.

Honestly what a joke though. The away 'stand' was basically see through scaffolding. Thought I was at a Balfour Beaty convention rather than a football match. No roof on the 'stand' either. At one point multiple poncho's from Matalan were being thrown about.

Well done to the 351 Blades there tonight though. I 'ad a laff.

Good result too.

UTB.

p.s, poncho's not actually from Matalan. Just standard poncho's I believe.

Makes Yeovils ground look like the Nu Camp.

If that is their away end, the FL should impose a maximum £5 ticket price, or away fans should be seated in the stand at the side, under cover.

You should count yourself lucky you got seats, it's not too long ago that stand was terraced, as that's when they were in the second tier.

When I last went there in 2002, it was standing. Presumably, the League made them put seating in and they went for the cheapest possible option.

I actually thought handing out the ponchos when it started drizzling was a nice touch.

A bit like a Mexican Stand Off?

It's an "Art Installation". Someone got paid millions for it.

Think it was 2002 I went. 1-1? Allison scored?

Yep. Paul Shaw put them 1-0 up after Brown misplaced a pass to him in the centre circle and he broke. We equalised in the 2nd half after a scramble. We should have won . 21st Sept 2002.

I wouldn't like to pay that scaffolding hire charge come the end of the season!

I can't believe a stand like that is allowed, and must need regular safety checks. The least they could do is to cover up the guts of the thing which would go someway to hiding how crap it is.

Deary me.
