The stewards where very reasonable and allowed us to stand all game and where quite helpful. Comments on getting away from the ground after the game. After several years of visiting Premier league and Championship grounds I knew that this game wouldn’t be the prettiest game at a world class Stadium, however something about travelling the length of the country on a cold November's day somehow appealed to me and those I travelled with. The second half continued in the same poor fashion and our defence seemed to fall asleep,which finally cost us in the 59th minute as Jabo Ibehre somehow found himself in miles of space in the 6 yard box to head home a long throw.
