For kids it's about the size of the stadium and amount of people at the game.
I suspect very few of them would find 2,000 people at a glorified non-league ground more impressive
FGR's average attendance last season wouldn't even fill the Town End with its 1,753 and the highest gate was a mere 2,383.
I genuinely don't think many kids would prefer to be in a newer ground just because it is newer.
Even if their average goes up to a modest 2,400 thats still only half filled to its capacity of 4,800.
I didn't realise that it is essentially a 1 side and a 2 half size behind goal stands TBH.
I went to the old ground at the old lawn and it was your typical non league ramshackle missmatch of stands and standing, the new ground looks like a half size Huish Park (which is also totally souless) but I guess at least FGR has roof cover for a large percentage of the away support unlike Huish.
