Copied from post I put on WHU board last night.

We had a Fantastic Day! Took my girls and my parents, they're getting on a bit so thought the reduced capacity would be the ideal game for them.
My eldest (13) wasn't really interested this morning but once she see the stadium from the train, you should have seen her jaw drop! My youngest (5) is smiling in her sleep right now!
My parents were well impressed with everything apart from the cost of the project, people that age always tend to bring those things up don't they?
Everyone around us seemed to be in awe of the stadium outside, taking loads of pictures and video. The actual seating/pitch area was superb!
Loads of room, facilities outside each block. Did'nt buy anything as I took a load of goodies for them to eat and drink, didn't want to take a risk if there was huge queues. However, groups around us were complaining of slow service.
Very grey and drab in the facilities area but it's much the same as Benfica's ground but on slightly larger scale. Needs a bit of brightening up with murals, lots of white and red, but i'd expect that'll come later?
The game was good too. 6 goals, a hat trick for one young fella, NRC looked good, Anton not so good.
I was really worried about the transport having two kids and two pensioners with me, with all the crowds etc but it ran like clockwork!
So, overall, as I said, it was a Fantastic Day to Remember! The FA Cup Final will be Brilliant for anyone lucky enough to go!!

that's just as well because the beer was watered down and shit and an absolute rip off.

So I made a good call for once! They'd better sort it out quick, 90k grown up supporters without their wives and kids, could be a big riot?

Yeah it really was comical. I left on like the 46th minute - just before the end. Got to the queue probably 3 spaces back. I hadn't even moved anywhere and they called the announcement, "Could all supporters please make their way back to the stands", lol. I just laughed and then when i finally got there, there was no cheese for my "cheeseburger" and there was no milk for the teas. But to be fair its the first ever game and these faults were miniscule in comparison to the experience. My favorite was the hand dryers. They sounded like some road sweeper and the moment you put your hands under them they would dry.
