Fed up of talking about how crap we are but what a cracking venue.

The casino is plush trendy and modern albeit the dinks and food are very expensive.

What did you think of the fantastic stadium it looked like a mini Wembley but sounded awful empty.

Talking to Cov fans in the casino they said Wasps Rugby club who now own it have told City only one more season for them due to lack of rent payments.

Whatever still an eye opener to Blundell Park muti-purpose venues is the way to go IMHO.

I have to say I wasn't a fan at all of it.  Great arena no doubt, not a football ground in my view.  Maybe that is coloured by how empty it was as looking across at an empty stand always puts me off.  

I want a ground to have a unique element to it, something that turns it from an arena to a home.  A place miles from the city centre that is surrounded by motorways and out of town developments doesn't feel like a place that is part of the area in any discernible way.  If we ever move, the lessons I would want learning would be to not make it too big, so you have such an empty looking arena like they must have more often than not.

Totally agree it’s a superb stadium and should be a championship stadium. Was saying to my family who I went with yesterday such a shame Town was on such a a poor run otherwise we would of took a huge following and made an immense noise.

Had a couple in the Mill , had a posh feel to it and yes slightly overpriced but overall an enjoyable experience and day out ruined by the football

Blundell Park could possibly be multi purpose next season too.
