Programme
A free glossy A3 sheet folded into A5 size. One side opened out as a poster of Osotspa's Anthony Komenan and the other included an article on the kind of food favoured by three of the players, squad lists, upcoming fixtures and the league table. However, the last two of these were out of date, as the programme was printed for the original fixture, which was due to have taken place on September 30th.
Club Shop
A neat little shop situated under the stand used by the more vociferous of the home fans, opposite the main stand. The shop was doing a roaring trade as most items - replica shirts, scarves, stickers etc - had been reduced in price for the end of season sale.
Away End
Half of the main stand's covered section. No seats, just concrete terracing.
Staff
Very friendly. All the vendors outside the ground made us very welcome and even cleared a space for us to sit so we could eat our food and drink our beers. The security guards were excellent. One of them even brought my friend a plastic cup so he could drink his beer inside the stadium, after he had told him that cans weren't allowed on the terraces.
Food
All the usual Thai food was in plentiful supply. I had some dodgy sausages but the rest of the stuff I bought - especially the chicken - was delicious.
Beer
Three cans of Leo for B110. Beer was allowed inside the ground as long as it was in a plastic cup. Very sensible.
Overall Experience
A very enjoyable trip. Friendly locals and a club that knows how to treat the fans. A real old school experience and a nice way to end the season.
