Oh ok, that is weird if the steward sent you along Moscow Road, don't understand why they'd have done that. Unless the police make them do so in order to avoid Booth Street and Hardcastle Road which is the way they should have sent you. A short cut through a gate isn't really a route that's available so I can see why you wouldn't have been told to go that way, probably only shaves a few minutes off going the Booth Street way.
I can only assume it's police advice to send you down to Moscow Road, that's madness otherwise. GMP are particularly jumpy at the moment. All the more reason we should have a ticket booth at the away turnstiles. I'll pass it on to people at our supporters co-op to pass on to the club. |

Stockport County fan here in peace. There's a couple of misconceptions here that need to be cleared up.
For starters the away end at Edgeley Park has been the two blocks of the Together Stand you were in for two decades. The Railway End was overspill with the occasional exception. Entering round the back of the stand is new (and also really old, there was an entrance that way many many years ago) but is a vast improvement of what we did last time we were a league club where away fans entered through the same set of turnstiles at the other end of that stand as the home fans. Resulting in away fans walking through and in front of the home section (something I sort of did once at Layer Road to get to the seated away section).
As for going round the stadium there isn't a quick route. There's either the route you came in (which I'm guessing is the one you were told to take) or an even longer route through an older set of houses and around the reservoir. The "2 minute" route doesn't exist unless you fancy battling through Japanese Knotweed and swimming through the reservoir. Some of our stewards aren't the brightest bulbs but in that instance there isn't a choice. I'd like to see us put some kind of ticket booth in round there for away fans as sending away fans to the Cheadle End is shit but it's not happened yet.
Catering only got brought back in house at the start of last season and they're still struggling to get quantities right. I'm surprised there was surplus to give away as the home section usually runs out as well. I don't get what was meant by uncomfortable seats. They're standard tipping stadium plastic seats, do you all get padded ones at your new ground? The pillars are a pain (I sit in the same stand) but we haven't had a pot to piss in for the last two decades until recently, and there's little point in our new ownership sticking a new roof on when the plan is to knock the whole stand down and start again.
No idea what the mobile phone lights thing was, kids being weird I guess.
Trust me, you don't want to go in the Railway End if you think the Together Stand was bad. |
