The queues to get food/drink at half-time were shocking! 25 minutes to get served, only one beer tap working and even the staff were pissed off.
Compared to the slick operation at the Ricoh
Pitch looked good and promising - getting in was ok - new ( to us) fans around us so its a learning curve again - nice not to hear negative things - Ticket will be good for the Ricoh when we go back ( runs for tin hat) journey in car one hour longer in total - abandoned the car on a pavement with everyone else - was still there when we got back - Small heath very busy on the way back with Multiple weddings which was a bit of a pain and the standard of driving was woeful BUT 3 points and some promising if knackered looking players - Mason my MOM
Oh an no smoking area that I could see at half time
Smoking
St Andrew’s is a no-smoking and no-vaping venue. Smoking areas are provided outside the Kop Stand and outside the Kop Reception for supporters at half-time.
Just sounds like you could be a bit slimmerI’m clearly not a proper fan. From the tiny turnstiles to the cramped concourses to the thin seats and the queues longer than half time reminded me why I’d rather be in a modern stadium any day of the week. Surrounding area is a proper crack den as well. Had to educate my nine year old on drug paraphernalia. Which is nice. Oh an no smoking area that I could see at half time
Other than the logistics, staff were friendly (one said thanks for coming as we came in which was nice), stewards were helpful, atmosphere was good. Certainly enjoyable as a football experience.
Did you go? It made the Ricoh look slick.

Proper ground agreed thereDecent really. The win helped. Proper ground.
I never buy anything at half time -no football ground can manage to do it properly - did you go to Sixfields ? as it is a step up from there - mind you if we though Cov was a dump
Just sounds like you could be a bit slimmer
That was a highlight.That is neither here nor there. I’m no Southend physio!
I think its pretty poor you cant take your own stuff in - bloke next to me had a flaskI didn’t go Sixfields. As someone with a kid that is always thirsty even after drinking the drinks we brought, it matters to me.

You can take drinks if lids off they didn’t really cheak bags etc quick look and in you goYou can. I took in sandwiches and a bottle of drink in my bag, wasn’t even checked. But the kid went through it first half. £5 of Sprite later, lesson learned for next time.
Were you in the right place - it was fancy dress day at Edgebaston - that suit must have been pretty hotThought it was a good day out. Was in a jasper carrot suit before and half time. And executive seating a really comfortable place to watch football.
Friendly staff and a decent traditional football ground.

Enjoyed it. Proper old fashioned ground. Win a few more games and the gates will increase.
Happy to stay there until the death rattle sounds for wasps and our disgrace of a council begs on there knees for us to come back.
Proper football standIf the gates increase on that they'll need to open the end to the right...The Tilton end I think it's called
