Haha I don't mean any harm mate, all banter! I'm sitting in the Warwick road end? What's that like? Thanks, I reckon we'll draw 1 each and go through to the final! Fingers crossed anyway. I'm sure we all appreciate the Cumbrian support
No offence taken
I'm back on the Warwick myself for Sunday, first time in years. Been in the East (Pioneer) Stand for most of the past decade but it sold out pretty quickly.
You're in for a real old fashioned experience. The Warwick consists of terracing with a bizarre corrugated iron/tin can type roof. Safety restrictions limit it's capacity to 3,500. View is slightly impeded by a couple of support posts for the roof, evenly spaced at the front of the stand, with a couple more in line with those on the second crash barrier back.
Facilities in the stand are... as basic as it gets. A tiny refreshments hut/bottle bar which will be unable to cope on Sunday sits behind the access concourse at the rear of the stand. Along from this you will find the 'toilet facilities' - these have to be experienced to be believed. They are quite frankly the worst toilets in the football league! Oh, make sure you only need a number one by the way. The reason for this will be obvious should you venture into urine alley on Sunday...
Unfortunately, much of the local wildlife may well congregate on the Warwick for this one. I'd avoid displaying any obvious signs of your loyalty, lest the scores of 'Football Factory' inspired Service Crew wannabes decide to take exception. They'd love to take tales of their hardman antics back to school with them on Monday morning...
The Warwick Road End is a throwback to a lost era of football. If you like your creature comforts, you may struggle. If you aren't afraid to slum it, you will thrive!
Hope you enjoy the experience, though not the result... (you may say I'm a dreamer...)
