A
short two hour coach trip to Alfreton
from North Wales was a decent one. At
around noon, as we approached the ground
we were stopped by Police just down the
road and ushered into a pub (I forget
the name of it). It was a nice small pub
with pool table, beer garden etc..
Police stood outside the pub while the
Wrexhan fans were in there. There was
also a chip shop across the
road along with a
general convenience store but
alas the chip shop was closed.
We
started to walk up to the ground at
around 2:15pm. The stadium was about a
15-20 min walk from the pub and on the
way we passed a large Tesco's
store. On arrival at the ground, I
noticed that as we had expected it was
small looking, however stewards were
helpful and it was reasonably priced to
get in.
Once
inside, the first stop was the food bar
which served and a very
good variety of food and
drinks with reasonable prices and
quality. Wrexham had around 500 fans in
attendance and the stewards were forced
to open the center section of the three
part terrace which we pretty much
filled as well. The home support
was low but that we expected and
the atmosphere was not great
either. However the Wrexham fans did
their best to generate some with with
singing and a drummer, throughout the
game.
We came out winners of the match so we were happy fans for the journey home. We walked back to our coach, which was one of three that had made the journey and after a small delay in leaving the area where the coaches were parked, we then got away without any problems. Three
points in the bag and a nice day. I'd
recommend this ground to other fans
as there is no trouble and nice friendly
locals 8/10.
