Thumbs up Ground improvements and return to matchdays!

Just seen a tweet referring to lots of complaints floating about - not seen many myself - but thought I would highlight some positives after returning for so long away:

- Pitch looked great
- Kop banner is better in reality than the pics show
- MRS paint job tarts it up but also seems actually beneficial to people
- Yale toilets looked bright and too clean to enter, so I didn't.
- Stewarding of the queues asking to look at tickets and helping direct people to the right place quicker

One thing that might need a sort is outside by the "Geoff Moss and Ian Roberts are horrendous people memorial flats" felt darker than it used to be after the match, and probably needs a few lights put in.

All in all, quite decent on the night at least from where I was

I didn’t think the pitch was great at all for the first game of the season. Seemed to cut up a lot, and players seemed to lose their feet especially early on.
The flag/banner was very impressive and the LED advertising boards look great.

Kop banner flag thing looked great
Pitch was cutting up and looked like Tozer got his feet stuck in the turf when he went down
Yale stand PA system/speakers utterly dreadful
As Rob says stewarding far superior

Great experience being back after so long. Thought the place looked much tidier generally and the investment is obvious to see.

Just a few tiny things - where was FiD as the players walked out? A great song that we should always run out to. Also, sad to see the murals on the MRS walls had gone. They were only put up in the 100th anniversary season and I thought they looked great.

But as I said, overall great experience last night and so good to be back.

Will the Tech End be open for the next home game? Think it was meant to be the first two games that it wasn’t available, right? Obviously the first one of those was the one that was cancelled and then last night?

Should be up to 10k+ capacity?

Strange we didn’t play Wrexham is the Name when teams came out.
Also, as I’m on the subject of songs, why don’t we play a song or 2 when the game ends? It seems odd and a bit amateurish that when the game finishes it all goes very quiet all of a sudden.
Overall though, thoroughly enjoyed being back at the Cae Ras last night.

Also, there seemed to be quite a lot of empty seats last night, even in the stands that were open, so not sure why they couldn’t sell this capacity on the night?
