Game watched: Forest Green Rovers 0-3 Plymouth Argyle
We got to the area and made up of the park and ride which definitely saved a very long walk up a very long hill. Good value for £3 although the sign says £5 so unsure on that one.
Went to the fan area outside before the game. Ran out of lager very quickly, around 1.50, even though they were fully aware of the 1200 members of the green army on their way.
Female toilets had great access to free sanitary products which I was very impressed with.
Food was all vegan which was expected. Tried the vegan pasty because y’know, when in Rome! Wasn’t great and should have gone for the safe chips! No alcohol served inside the ground due to inability to drink without being in view of the pitch which some people were not happy with, especially with the lack of beer outside.
Away area is very narrow, long and uncovered, making it difficult for the normally very strong green army to produce much noise. It is open to the elements so be prepared for that!
Road back out of the ground was heaving after the game. Got the park and ride back to the carpark. We arrived back at our car about an hour after the end of the game. Was fairly straight forward to get back onto the M5 after that.
Overall a good day out, with a 3-0 to boost, and I’m glad that I’ve been but I won’t be in a hurry to return!
