Poor Park!

Car Parking: S.P. Rating: (4), I have never attempted to park in the 'Park', preferring to take a chance on the street which so far has worked out okay, so I have to give them a decent mark on this occasion. On the down side the area seems to be a bit small and both sets of fans can exit through the area, so it's not ideal, maybe a disaster waiting to happen.

Access: S.P. Rating: (4) The turnstiles at the 'home' of the I.F.A. are quite literally a nightmare, especially for us men and/or women with the 'fuller figure'. I admit I am a little claustrophobic and these turnstiles scare me as I think they're going to jam with me in it. Also they rarely, in fact never to be truthful, have more than two 'stiles in operation, a poor show for allegedly our top stadium.

Spectating Facilities: S.P. Rating: (4) At Windsor we have an unrestricted view but for some reason there were two cameramen blocking our unrestricted view of the proceedings. I wish clubs would learn the salutary lesson, that the 'paying punter' is the most important person, everything else is secondary (if these cameramen were from Sky Blue TV I apologise unreservedly). Sky blue TV I would add is not part of Sky Blue Sport, in fact at the moment it appears to be defunct, but I digress.

Toilets: S.P. Rating: (6) The toilets at the 'Park' are quite good as befits our International stadium, unfortunately when United were there they forgot to open them. Although they were opened eventually, what a relief that was.

Playing Surface: S.P. Rating: (4) The pitch at Windsor is to put it mildly is poor, the groundsman has to come on at halftime and replace the surface that has been damaged by the players studs. Surely with all the money raked in by Linfield (allegedly £250,000, but probably lots more and that's just from the I.F.A.), the least we can expect is a level playing field. In fact it's the only 'level playing field' we can hope to get, but even here it looks like we're going to be disappointed.
