… my love affair with the Arthur Waite is over!!!! Views, acoustics & nostalgia aside! It really is a khazi eh! The facilities are f*cken dreadful. I left my seat 5 mins before ½ time to go for a p*ss and a beer. Well I managed the former and finally got served just after the 2nd ½ whistle blew so had to spend the next 5 minutes swigging it back so couldn’t enjoy it and missed the only goal of the game! I know them kids are on minimum wage but the one that served me couldn’t even find his bottle opener and forgot to give me change until I reminded him!!! Also, the queues for the toilet at ½ time down there were shameful with parents and their kids busting to go. Proper shambles … Yeah I know that concourse was only ever meant to accommodate the seats in the old format when the terrace was down below but really! Yeah, I know we have to redevelop the main stand first but it’s a f*cken joke. Why can’t they have people going around the concourse selling beers in some other manner? Why do people who already have a beer in hand insist on standing chatting where people are trying to get a beer? Throw the performance, embarrassing home support and weather into things … we went home thinking ‘f*ck that for a while!’ …

Agree with most of criticisms apart from the fact I wouldn’t even contemplate trying to buy beer or take a leak in interval.
