Bradford City v MK Dons - 13/02/2024

Review by MK Dons fan Pete Williams

Why did you choose to go to this game and why were you looking forward to it?

I go to all the away games and with the Dons chasing automatic promotion it meant we could put extra pressure on the teams above us.

How did you travel to the game and how easy was it?

Went by coach. An uneventful journey albeit very long as we had to travel during evening rush hour.

What did you think of the food and drink available inside the ground?

Took advantage of the Pie & Pint offer and whilst the pie was good, the pint wasn’t. I must remember to have just bottled beer in grounds as they don’t sell any beer in the days beforehand which means it goes off in the pipes. Also they only sold lager and cider but not bitter.

What did you think of the away end and your view of the game?

Plenty of room and very good views of the pitch and the rest of the ground.

What was the atmosphere like during the match?

On a wet Tuesday night it wasn’t great but watching your team lose 4-0 didn’t help.

How friendly were the home fans out of 10?

8/10.

How easy did you find it to get away from the stadium after the game?

Coach was parked outside the exit and quickly underway although the traffic was heavy until we reached the motorway.

How much did you spend in total on this away day? Was it good value for money?

Spent about £65 and bearing in mind the distance involved it wasn’t bad.

Would you recommend this away day to other fans?

Yes, definitely.

Bradford City v Newport County - 07/12/2019

Review by Newport County fan Ben Fisher

Why did you choose to go to this game and why were you looking forward to it?

I chose to go to this game because i’m a Newport County season ticket holder so i wanted to go. I was looking forward to the game because Newport hadn’t won a game in a few, but so had Bradford.

How did you travel to the game and how easy was it?

We travelled up on the NCAFCSC (Newport County AFC Supporters Club) coach. We broke down just 4 miles from the ground and we had to wait for a fleet of taxis to pick us all up and take us to the ground. It was easy to find the away section as there were very nice stewards who showed us the way.

Which pubs did you go to before the game and what was the atmosphere like?

We didn’t go to a pub before the game however, we all went to the Bradford Arms after the game where we were escorted by police and we had to wait for our coach to pick us up. The atmosphere however in the stadium wasn’t as good as you’d think it would be for a ground with a big capacity. Despite the fact that only 14,000 fans turned up (including 350 Newport County fans).

What did you think of the food and drink available inside the ground?

I thought that the food and drink inside the ground was very overpriced. A pint of beer was £4.50 and sausage rolls were nearly £3/£4 per one. However, the people serving us were really nice and helpful.
