The Experience
Highfield Road isn't a modern stadium anymore, hence why the club will leaving soon. The stadium is old and rusty with the stands needing replacing completely. The leg room within the ground is extremely tight. The atmosphere when I went there wasn't brilliant so overall you'll be disappointed with your day out. The crowds have declined just like the football team.
