I went last season too (what the fuck was Brezovan playing at?!). Its' situation, the puddles outside etc just don't come into it for me. It's all about once you're in there, making a noise, & roaring the Town onto (hopefully) another 3 points. Going there last year hasn't put me off going next week one bit.

For anyone that has been to Layer Road (surely THE worst view in the country), their new ground is luxury in comparison, if a little soulless. While it is basically 4 separate stands plonked in an open area of land, they are very steep therefore the view was ace. They've moved away fans to the other end this season but it looks like an identical stand. It's gonna feel totally different this year too because we were right in the shit when we played there last season, even more so after losing.

It's stuck on a business park about 3 miles from station/town centre. I saw a few buses there last time which had come from the town centre but I don't know where exactly they go from or frequency. Like most new 'Lego' grounds, it's shit to get to by train.

I just noticed you alread got an answer. Oh well, that's my two pen'ath any way.

Theres a free bus which goes from behind the big yellow storage place which you can see from the station.  Takes you right to the ground.  About 3 pubs within 5 min walk of the station

me too! 

Feel a bit like I did couple of seasons ago when I had to choose between Northampton away on a Tuesday night and Yeovil away following Sat - that bloke who we sold to WBA scored a hat-trick at Northampton in 4-3 win then we lost
1-0 at Yeovil

Won't happen this time though, crap pitch or not at Col, we will dig in and hopefully get a good result

I'd decided the same but after yesterday I'm not feeling it anymore. I got home at 9.30pm (having left at 7.30am) and felt like shit as a hangover had started kicking in from all the alcohol I'd drunk earlier in the day. My throat was killing me from 90 minutes of non stop cheering, screaming and taunting with the jumping around like a mad man leaving me knackered.

I'm getting too old for all this shit. I reckon promotion would finish me off for good. Good way to go though.
