Seems like it was a much better effort but how many were there to see it ?

Who knows but I’d guess it made it into three figures. At £10 adults and free for kids it’s not the pricing that’s the barrier so plenty for behind the scenes people to think about. Oddly a decent atmosphere.

Haven trekked the length of England in pretty poor weather I suspect to be at PL and they were poor. 10 flattered them but I have some sympathy.
As for the GL. Well we won and it feels Small Time, which you know I hate, to put the knife ins so let ,e say it feels a pretty standard corporate space with a small bar. I think it can do a job for some: for others they may well wonder what all the ‘fuss’ is all about.


I was in one of the corporate boxes for the first game this season, they are surprisingly basic as well. I believe money was tight when the stadium so I suspect Dons decided to cut corners with the fitting out to save money. Build a decent space and you can fit it out how you want whenever you have the money. Nothing wrong with the box, just pretty basic for a professional football club. Nice seats and a good view outside to be fair and the Dons employee sent to ensure we were ok was good

I looked at going on Saturday, but no Greater Anglia or Elizebeth Line trains running into Essex and no trains on Thameslink to Haydons Rd put me off. At least Ealing had street parking and plenty of bus routes. PL seems to be around a mile from 3 or 4 tube stations with a fairly sparse bus service and limited car parking nearby. I'm not knocking it as a stadium but it does have access issues.

Never had a problem parking myself - usually find a spot on Keble Street, if not swing round to Huntspill Street.
