Review by Cardiff City fan Hayden Griffiths
Why did you choose to go to this game and why were you looking forward to it?
My first away day so I was buzzing for it.
How did you travel to the game and how easy was it?
Travelled by coach and was pretty straightforward. M5 to Birmingham then got off to the M6 where the stadium was nearby.
If you drove, was it easy to find car parking and make your way to the stadium?
Car park near the stadium. It was around a 6 minute walk which was not too bad.
Which pubs did you go to before the game and what was the atmosphere like?
Went to a pub 15 minute drive away called the George and Dragon. Nice looks and great atmosphere.
Where did you eat on your away day and was it good value?
Had some chips in the pub and they were pretty nice.
What did you think of the food and drink available inside the ground?
I only had a bottle of coke didn’t really pay attention to anything else. Buying a coke bottle from a shop however would have probably been cheaper.
What did you think of the away end and your view of the game?
Really good I could see alot of the pitch even with my bad vision!
What was the atmosphere like during the match?
A very good atmosphere both sets of fans made lots of noise. Cardiff sang almost the whole game and Coventry were loud a lot as well.
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?
Easy for me to say as I am a passenger on the bus. In all fairness we did wait like 5-10 minutes but we did get out and back home easily.
How much did you spend in total on this away day? Was it good value for money?
£50 in total including the bus and ticket I think? The cans of coke at the pub however were a bit overpriced at £2 but other than that nothing out of the ordinary. I am under 18 though so I think it would be a lot more expensive for an adult.
Would you recommend this away day to other fans?
Definitely. Nice stadium, brilliant day out especially if you can win. Good atmosphere. Just a lovely day out and couldn’t have asked for a better first away day.
Review by Sunderland fan Steve
Why did you choose to go to this game and why were you looking forward to it?
Chose this game to continue the away support and build season ticket points.
How did you travel to the game and how easy was it?
Travelled by car, easy to find as the stadium is just off the motorway.
If you drove, was it easy to find car parking and make your way to the stadium?
Car parking at the stadium you have to pre-book, is around £15 so quite expensive and gets sold relatively quickly.
Which pubs did you go to before the game and what was the atmosphere like?
I drank in the stadium, great atmosphere but expensive for a pint at £5.60.
Where did you eat on your away day and was it good value?
I ate at McDonald’s around the corner from the stadium.
What did you think of the food and drink available inside the ground?
Expensive for both, £5.60 for a pint, £ 4 for a coke with no lid.
What did you think of the away end and your view of the game?
Away support superb as always, great views from the whole end.
What was the atmosphere like during the match?
Home fans constantly banging a drum, but good singing from the fans and decent banter.
How friendly were the home fans out of 10?

How easy did you find it to get away from the stadium after the game?
Easy to leave with being on the motorway, quickly out and on it.

Would you recommend this away day to other fans?
Yes, decent supporters with good banter.
