Terrible location. Reminded me of the AJ Bell. I've always looked for York away on the calendar as one of the more attractive days out but the scramble to get to the game in taxis cuts time in the city centre short, and makes the whole day far less appealing for future trips. Would be quite content with it being a Tuesday night away game next season, should they stay up.
I thought the ground was fine and found the away end easily. Stewards were helpful. Got served quickly. Others have pointed out the overcrowding of the top 5-6 rows of seats but I would imagine there was enough space in the away end if each fan took up one seat. It's not a failing of the ground that our fans all wanted to pile in together.
I don't think we'll ever see an all-seater Moss Lane but a new, seated pop side stand with concourse has to be on the agenda as facilities in that area of the ground are terrible, as we all know.
Of course its a falling; they removed assigned seating and had 3 stewards to monitor it.
Assigned seating wouldn’t have made a difference, you only need look at the Facebook supporters group thread to see that some fans were planning on occupying the back rows well before we were moved to the West stand.
If we all each took a seat’s worth of space, which is hardly an absurd assumption for York to make of us, I am positive there would have been no problem. If, after that, there was really no space then by all means let’s give York all the stick in the world but it’s really not their fault that we treated a seated away end like a terrace.
It again highlights that we really aren’t used to these sorts of occasions or crowds. We’ve got to police ourselves better first before pointing the finger.
