Not a season starter but still, Lampard had brought his Derby along for a match. The ground is a modern four stand stadium of no originality but it is functional. The food is similarly unadventurous. PG Tips at £2.20. The crown though are special and made for a great atmosphere and some loud local support. It was their day.
The ground has a lovely rubbish burning power station next door but it isn't a terrible looker.
I sat up in the upper stand of the Barry Kitchener Stand amongst some of the older fans I would guess and the commentary was the usual affair.
Travelling across London by tube and getting out at Cananda Water gives a 20-30 minute walk. Others used the over ground railway that stops much nearer but I had a travel card with my rail ticket so underground for me.
I did once drop a friend off for a match at the old ground but the new one works fine for me.
