The ground was very nice to visit.  It was around a 30 minute walk from the train station, but the walk was by the canal and this took us straight to the ground.  There was plenty of parking available outside the ground and for a modern stadium it had some excellent character to it.  Inside, we sat in the upper tier.  The concourse was warm, clean and had a feel of an executive lounge.  Inside the stadium, it was a bit nippy with the wind, but thats November for you!  The game was reasonable, although the premier league is now a survival game for the likes of Stoke, who refuse to play any kind of attacking football.  As the home side they should have taken the game to Leicester but didn't and this had a huge impact (I feel) on the atmosphere which at best was flat.
