Well the Reebok stadium is impressive from any distance. Six quid to park next to the stadium. The team's current performances are probably limiting the crowd,it was only 14,716.
There was the usual fayre in the refreshment stand, tea at £1.80; nothing special or terrible either. I enjoyed watching the live match before joining the locals to watch Yeovil play like a league one team but a team and Bolton play like a disjointed and unconfident championship side. The Wanderers missed several gilt edge chances and a couple of incidents seem to show the referee as a bit of a homer.
The ground is less impressive on the inside. I imagine when it is full a good noise is generated as even half full it wasn't bad. The pitch looked good but its early days. They had cheer leaders both outside the ground and performing again inside - still bemused why clubs have these. Half-time and a target competition that seem to be interfering with the reserves kick about.
Getting out of the car park wasn't too bad and on the M61 by 5:11pm. Going up I followed advice about though I was coming from the south I came down the M61 rather than going around the M60 which worked well. Impossible to miss the ground as it is clearly visible from the motorway.
In summary a good modern ground and a visit recommended.
