"Home supporters view"

Unfortunately Roots Hall is showing its age. Built by the supporters of the club, the ground once had a 30,000 standing kop on the site of the current south stand. Turning into an all-seater stadium has cut the capacity to just over 11,000. Roots Hall just isn't good enough compared with today's new stadium and will be replaced hopefully within the next few years. The faults are all over the place as follows:

South stand upper, often difficult to see the goal line, but other than that pretty good.

South stand lower, the front couple of rows are below pitch level, some restricted views

East stand, early season and late season bring a cap and shades as you are often staring into the sun setting behind the west.

West stand, lots of pillars

Northbank, pretty good bar the seats at the back

Location

Not far from 3 rail stations. Off street parking

View

Some restricted views, but pretty good for away supporters

Facilities

Reasonable toilets and bars for the home supporters.

Food & Drink

At the time of writing the food is ok, but the caterers are changing.

Police & Stewards

Poor, stewards are generally too old, or too young and struggle with big crowds.

Atmosphere

Could be better Can be quiet, with pockets of moaners in the crowd.
