What Fans Say About St James' Park
Not what I paid for. View is substandard. Good energy throughout. Picked up for the big moments. Standard pricing. Nothing special either way.
Solid angle on the near goal, far goal a bit distant but fine. Walking from town centre took about half hour. Pockets of noise but not consistent. Neutral at this game - just wanted to see the stadium.
Average view - you can follow the game but it's not great. The burger was actually pretty good. Perfect weather for football. Crisp autumn afternoon. No regrets on the cost. Parked at the retail park. Easy walk. No one around me made any noise.
You can follow the game but don't expect perfection. Could be better. The singing is elsewhere. Wind was brutal. Ball was all over the place.
Not what I paid for. View is substandard. Day trippers. No passion.
