Agreed on all of this, and I think it everytime I go anywhere other than Hillsborough…
The specifics cited are often the same:
- entertainment in/around the ground
- slick food and drink service, with better options
- modern toilets and other facilities
- good transport links (sometimes)
- An overall perception that not every single bit of the enjoyment of the day was based purely on what happens on the pitch.
Although Chansiri, Dave Allen etc have been woeful owners who have held us back in the modern age, I do think a lot of the major improvements could only be truly realised with a new stadium..
