Reebok Howler

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.

For a ground that is very much on the other side of the country to me this was an easy trip. Motorway for all but four hundred yards.

 
The ground is there almost on the motorway in a retail park. Down
side was it took twenty minutes to leave the ground car park (£3.00) even with a crowd of little over three thousand.
Getting there nice an early I easily got a ticket and went straight in to find some food and drink. Took some finding; there are no signs to tell you where the toilets or refreshment stands are and their position means they are well hidden away. The tea was £1.70 and a reasonable hot-dog was three pounds. Staff were friendly and helpful. The ground had a lovely atmosphere and it was an entertaining afternoon.
Of course being on the outskirts I didn't get to see the town itself. Football wise it was a close match of one goal and two disallowed goals plus the usual claims for penalties that were not given. The away fans were a keen bunch and played their part; their team didn't deserve to lose. I can heartily recommend a visit to this little ground in North Lincolnshire.
