Advantages: Atmosphere

Disadvantages: So many stairs

What a stadium, having visited the majority of stadiums that house premier league teams this has to be my favourite even better than Old Trafford in my opinion.

The area in which it is located is easily accessible by public transport and the pubs around are not intimidating as some can be.

On approaching the ground the sheer height is immense, a lot bigger than I exected it to be.

To get to your seats though, as an away fan, involves a painful hike up an incredible amount of steps as you are situated right in the top tier of the stadium but it is worth it, on entering the stadium itself the view is amazing, I was struck by how high I was but the stadium looked magnificent and at the right angle you get a view across the city as well.

The bars inside are a good size, serve a decent selection of drink and snacks and have numerous tv's to watch showing all the team news and reports about other current matches.

While watching the game you are a long way from the action, the players look more subuteo than real life but you get a good view of the whole game and the movement of the players.

The atmosphere in the ground when the game is underway is immense, The geordie fans have a reputation for being some of the best in the world and you can feel that when you are in the stadium.

On leaving, it is back down ALL those stairs again!!!! but fans are kept seperated for a distance from the home fans and I wasn't aware of any trouble when we all filtered in together.

Summary: Will go back

Most of that info is in the description, do not see the point of duplicating, Prices can fluctuate depending on whether there are special offers, we got tickets for £15 each but that was an offer, and as an away fan, you have no choice of where to sit so have only ever sat in one section of the stadium.
