The actual stadium is generic with the quirk of no stand behind one of the goals.
I was 'seated' in the home end behind the goal unfortunately this was in the middle of the most voiciferous fans who sang throughout the match creating a great atmosphere but also persisted to stand all game meaning I also stood all game.
