Programme
Disappointingly, there didn't seem to be one. I did try!
Club Shop
I didn't make it to the club shop but I believe that it's quite well stocked.
Away End
Half of the covered stand behind one of the goals. This stand is usually reserved for home fans but we were put in there in order to accommodate the number of away fans who had travelled. A sensible and welcome decision by the host club. No numbered seating but a good view close to the pitch - which is only slightly spoiled by the fifty foot high netting between you and the action.
Staff
Really friendly and helpful. I was approached twice by members of staff shortly after arrival and asked - in English - if I needed any help. The stewards inside the ground also seemed to have a sense of humour and treated us well.
Food
Lots of stalls selling a variety of Thai food directly behind the "away" stand. There is also a restaurant near the ground, which I didn't visit, but has a good reputation and has a/c - for those who like dining in comfort.
Beer
Large bottles of Leo cost B65. Unfortunately, they'd run out by full time so we couldn't celebrate our late equaliser with a pint. Beer - and pretty much everything else you can think of - is not allowed inside the stadium.
Highlight of the Day
Equalising four minutes into injury time!
Overall Experience
A great day out. A well run and friendly club with up to date facilities. The car park is a bit of a nightmare but we'd been forewarned and parked on the road. It's a bit of a trek to the stadium but it made it much easier to get away after the match.
