Fans' Reviews: “Huge stadium! As a visiting supporter from Brighton I was impressed by how high up the away section is. Nice to have a stadium that you can walk to from the town centre.”

“Class stadium. I was in the away end, but found the local hospitality to be outstanding from the home fans, even if they did all leave as soon as Jack Payne slotted home the winner for Huddersfield!” (Huddersfield Town fan)
