The
Experience
|
| When
going there this season I found the JJB stadium to be a very modern
stadium with good facilities but missing one vital ingredient, fans!
Away fans are given one of the side stands which can hold around 7,000
if needed. Average home gates are about 6-7,000. The stadium is
different to most new stadiums, None of the corners are filed in and
there are some dramatic looking steel girders on the roof of the two
side stands. |
