The whole "segregation" thing was a farce from start to finish.
First of all they directed cars and coaches to a car park that the coaches could not access, resulting in been dropped off in the street, and then causing traffic chaos when the coaches returned to pick up.
We then had to walk down a street that looked like the set of life on mars and up some dirt track to the turnstiles, on the way we saw a child no older than 10 smashing glass bottles into the ground and shouting "Rovers".
Get into the ground to find there is infact no actual segregation anyway, just an allocated area, seats covered in muck from the building site and some broken.
I don't know how many seats there were in the top corner where we were, but there weren't enough for everyone, then a group of Fax fans were ushered behind the goal as the stand was full.
Pointed this out to the goon with a moustache from Key Security who was the Head Steward who said "well its worked hasn't it". What was quite clear that it hadn't.
Despite all that, it was a decent day out, I think too much was emphasise was placed on the segregation thing, and there was no hassle inside or outside of the ground, except for when that ballboy couldn't catch and started booing. Is he related to that kid from Swansea?
While the result was disappointing, Its not the end of the world, not a cup final, and the league isn't won in April.
