General Comments
My team West Bromwich Albion played Newcastle a couple of weeks ago, and me and my boyfriend flew up by helicopter as a treat. When we got to the ground, there are signs telling you where to go and the ground is massive! It's so tall. I went into the club shop, and it's much better than my clubs club shop. It's huge and sells a variety of stuff. The worst thing about the ground is all the steps you have to walk up - there are about 140 steps and they kill you. I then had to walk up another 15 steep steps to get to my seat, sat right at the back! The view is awesome - I have never seen a view like it in my life. The trouble is, the players just look like little ants! The stadium inside does look a bit daft, because one side is massive, the others are all symmetrical. The stewards are nice - they help you out. The atmosphere from the Newcastle fans isn't that good - they don't sing that much.
