I thought match admin was appalling, a desk under a gazebo to take/sell tickets with one person on it, will be interesting for a bigger crowd. Personally I would have given out info about the ground/facilities and a welcome message so you didn't have to guess where everything was. We never found the programme seller. Announcer was the worst I have heard, not even any explanation of who Mr Genders was just that he had died and there was to be a 1 minute silence. I've still no idea where my season ticket seat was/might be but as I had taken a guest we went elsewhere to sit (far side) and stand in the 2nd half. Work to do with the team but no suprise there. Heaven knows what it will be like with a bigger crowd - anyone know how much the car parking was?

Absolutely - and this is what CN doesn't get.

Obviously I haven't been yet but with some of the comments on here and looking at the Video of the highlights the ground does seem awfully Micky Mouse! I guess I might find it in myself to get along but can't say it will be with too much enthusiasm.

Still looking forward to Headingley on Sunday night and the Brutus a week on Saturday!

You aren't by any chance on the Sunday morning train from Kings Cross to Leeds are you Paddock?

MMmmm, not sure about the You Tube video being a negative Paddock, at the Hive our You Tube vids' look awfull, two drab and grey, empty terraces and a sp populated far end with what appears to be zero atmosphere.

Whereas the first Video of Ealing, looked, well, ... better!

Not as modern or smart for sure, but just better! I can only put it down to 600+ people looking completely lost in a 6000+ modern, "modula" arena, but looking quite at home in a ramshackle 2-3000 set-up.

Just an impression, which I admit may well be wrong, but the 600+ against Swinton, at Ealing looked better than even the Bradford and Leigh atmosphere's at the Hive.
