With our promotion to League One this year, I was on a mission to attend every home and away game for my club and with several big stadiums to visit this season, this was certainly one to look forward to seeing for the first time. No major traffic problems, arrived at the stadium with plenty of time to spare. After visiting the club shop, I went to a bar near the stadium forget the name which allowed both sets of supporters and showed the lunchtime game on tv.
The bar was nice with a quiet atmosphere and some of the home fans were very friendly asking about the journey up and so forth and thoughts on the game ahead. What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of the ground? While it may not exactly be the biggest, from a design perspective it was marvelous.
Great circular shape for each stand with the Wembley style archways over each of them. Very nice on the eyes and was pleased that the away fans got a whole stand to themselves. Game was very satisfying which I guess rally added to the occasion. Despite dominating the first half, our slender lead was pegged back just before half time.
Then went down in second half but fought back really well to secure a draw. Stewards were friendly enough, had a little natter before the game about our strikers. Cheeseburger was decent, blah blah. No complaints from hospitality point of view. Was a little slow but you have to expect that. Been to a lot of worse grounds when it comes to getting away for sure. At this point in the season, still my favourite away day so far, despite not securing a win. The stadium itself being a real high point along with friendly home fans, good atmosphere during the game with both fans making a lot of noise and an overall good performance from the lads to secure a very satisfying result.
I was really looking forward about visiting the Galpharm Stadium. It stood out to me as a unique design, unlike many other new grounds that are quite similar looking. Huddersfield is also a long way from Southampton, and there is a proud feeling when you travel the length of the country to watch your team! Finding the Ground was fairly easy, although there was a lot of traffic going into Huddersfield, which resulted in a bit of a delay.
I would recommend a take away shop on one of the side streets rather than the ground food. My first impressions of the stadium were as I expected. A very bold design that has a lot of individual style about it. I thought the architects did well to make it different to other new grounds. When we walked into the away stand we were very impressed with it. It generated a good atmosphere, thanks to some great acoustics for singing which made it special!
The p. But it was a nice change to clearly hear the team line ups! The game itself was one to forget for Southampton Fans. Town dominated all game in all aspects. On and off the pitch, they played well, their fans got behind them and they ran out winners! But still it was an enjoyable experience in a fantastic ground! The atmosphere as I have mentioned a few times was great.
Toilets were okay and people got through them reasonably quickly, eventhough they were a bit packed. Getting away from the ground was as you would expect a bit congested but once we got on the way out of Huddersfield it was fine. All in all a very good day out despite the result. Great stadium, great atmosphere, not bad trip at all!
One of the best grounds I have been too, but it has to be said if we would have won it would have been a whole lot better!
Arriving by train in Huddersfield is always a pleasure, the station is a good old fashioned building and within it is a belter of a pub; the Kings Head. This is situated in what used to be the 3rd class waiting room and has some superb cheap beer.
Also nearby is the wonderful Sportsman another excellent pub. After taking on refreshment I made for the ground which is only about 15 minutes away. The stadium looms up as you approach up a sweeping access and you get a glimpse of the pitch through the open corner between the stands. This meant loads of very young fans but a good idea nonetheless.
Although fairly high up the view was very good and a good game ensued although Notts were fairly poor, Town running out winners. Hollands pies were available although some lengthy queues at halftime and special praise for the loos which were spotless..
There was a good atmosphere with Town making plenty of noise and I was sorry when the match ended. Getting away was a breeze and I was back in the town centre in no time. As new stadiums go I liked the look and feel of this one and I enjoyed my day out.
Having previously researched the stadium on this useful website, it looked very inviting to visit due to the style and size, besides I was confident that the North End could get a result with high expectancy following our relegation from the Championship. The journey there was very easy. I departed on the coach from Deepdale at pm for a short trip over the Pennines on a glorious day. Unlike many other stadiums, this makes the walk to the ground a lot easier and shorter.
Although there seemed a large number of police outside the ground, both sets of fans seemed friendly to each other as we walked to the stadium. My first impressions of the superbly designed sporting venue put a smile on my face and it gave a sense of excitement.
The stadium from the outside looked surprisingly small and less tall to how I had imagined, however that was due to it being situated in a dip. The outside spacing area was level with the back row so when you entered, you were looking straight down on a stand that I would say consisted 20 rows'ish which was not steep.
The Pink Link Stand away was single tiered however it was good to see two of the other stands having a second tier which made the size of the stadium look rather large from inside. As kick off approached I was surprised by how many Northenders made the trip to support Phil Brown's men and soon came close to filling the away end.
This was a perfect recipe for a great atmosphere and with most PNE fans standing for the whole game through out, there was a large group of Town supporters stood to the right of us on the adjacent single tiered stand, which gave an opportunity for both sets of fans to give plenty of banter to each other.
The atmosphere was one to remember. Huddersfield were up by half time due to the superb brilliance of Jordan Rhodes which gave the North End faithful not much hope coming into the second half. Furthermore, the Town fans did make sensational noise after they scored and felt like I was in a Premier League environment. Despite that, North End did put on some pressure second half and as a result, Juvhel Tsoumou gave the whites a glimour of hope on the 61st minute however it only resulted in a consolation.
At half time, the food options was extremely limited and this is a point I would like to highlight. They had ran out of pies etc, with only having microwaved sausage rolls on offer which were served on a paper plate. In addition the prices seemed a bit steep.
The toilets were clean and had no problems using them although busy! These problems could have may been prevented if not so many North End fans turned up on the day, as you could pay on the day.
These situations caused problems for the stewards in my opinion with over 2, Northenders altogether though I am not complaining about that. After the match, getting away from the ground was easy after a short walk back to the coach it was hard to find your coach with there being so many of them from Preston. This was quite amusing however nothing to do with the Stadium.
All in all, despite the result, this was a great day out representing Preston, making so much noise! I would definitely go back to this stadium in the future and depending both teams are still in the same division next year, I will be making a return without any doubt. Also I would recommend traveling to this stadium wherever you are in the country as a friendly, relaxed and fun day out is on offer supporting your beloved team.
However remember to go stocked with plenty of food in your pockets! It was a new ground for both my Dad and I to visit, plus we were on a good run of wins away from home so we were hoping to get at least a point. The pub was pretty busy but was a nice traditional pub which served great beer I had a pint of each of the Landlord and Best Bitter and both were excellent and nobody seemed to have a problem with me wearing colours.
The home fans seemed quite friendly and a couple chatted to us at the bar. It was only a minute walk to the ground and on first seeing the stadium it was very impressive. The toilets were fine and stewards were very relaxed, allowing people to smoke as it is open air at the back of the stand.
The game saw Huddersfield take a deserved lead as they played a perfect coutner attacking game with two excellent goals from Vaughan and Beckford resulting from left wing crosses. Walked back to the car and found the traffic surprisingly light, although we did get held up by the totally unnecessary police escort given to the away fan coaches. Another great little pub to go back to and really only the kiosk service and result let it down. For the last couple of years I have been to a Watford away game for my birthday e.
After scouring the fixture list, Huddersfield seemed the perfect away day. Having looked at the good reviews on the website it only made me more excited about going. Having stayed in Manchester the night before as I live near Eastbourne , me and my Dad made the short hop across the Pennines on a glorious day. The journey from Manchester took less than one hour and before we knew be were on the Leeds Road and trying to find somewhere to park.
As we arrived at around 12pm parking was not much of an issue, as we parked near an industrial estate just off the Leeds Road. Along the road, we had previously seen some fast food outlets, so we got some food there. As we walked into the dip in which the stadium is situated, my first impressions of the ground was that it was very impressive, although not as big as I thought it would be.
Around the stadium there many trees which make the surrounding area a lot nicer than the normal terraced houses on a street. We walked along the back of the Main Stand and was greeted very warmly by a Huddersfield Town official who pointed us towards the away end and gave us directions to places where we could have something to eat.
Having watched the players and the manager Gianfranco Zola get off the coach, we made our way around to the turnstiles where we paid and walked into the open air concourse.
Walking into the stadium itself, the stands were pleasing to the eye compared to the normal box — like structures. To the away ends right, you will find the Huddersfield faithful who can really make some noise. The first half ended to Huddersfield. To enlighten the mood, me and my Dad went to get some food, however the queues were really long and it took us near on 15 minutes just to get some drinks.
This was the only real downer on the day. The second half kicked off and Watford were playing some nice football. Four goals later, the ref blew his whistle and Watford had won ! This was a great result for Watford who are near the bottom of the table, while Huddersfield were second in the league.
After the match it was an absolute nightmare trying to get away from the game. The Leeds road was completely at a standstill and it took 35 mins to drive around five miles to the motorway. Apart from the that the journey back to Manchester was uneventful and passed very quickly. Altogether and a great day out, with the people of Huddersfield making their team proud. Would hugely recommend it to any away fan. Next year, another birthday and another away trip….
Why were you looking forward to visiting the John Smiths' Stadium? It was my first Middlesbrough away game for at least a couple of years. I thought Huddersfield was the best place to get that away bug back again. Plus it is only a hour and a half's drive from the Riverside, which was good.
I travelled by the official supporters coach from the Riverside Stadium. The journey was quick and uneventful and we arrived in Huddersfield, two hours before kick off.
As I had a couple of hours to kill, I first had a look around the Huddersfield Town club shop. The Huddersfield fans in the bar were very friendly and laid back. I enjoyed my pint of Fosters! What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of the John Smith's Stadium? From what I had saw of the stadium beforehand on this website and on Youtube, I kind of knew what to expect. I was though pleasantly surprised to be nearer the action that what I though I would be.
I got a great view of the game and the seats and legroom were first class. Comment on the game itself, atmosphere, stewards, pies, facilities etc..
Eventhough it was a rainy day in Huddersfield the game was still good. It was generally pretty even, but goals from Adam Clayton and Emilio Nsue gave my beloved Middlesbrough a win. The facilities were good, although the toilets did get crowded at half time, but don't they everywhere?
The food and drink were reasonably priced and the stewards at the ground were friendly and laid back as well. So I can't find a bad word to say about the John Smith's Stadium. I got back on the coach for the 90 minute trip back home. We had a Police escort from the stadium which helped us avoid the post match traffic and was well appreciated by us as we got back to the Riverside on time.
It was a brilliant day all round! Why were you looking forward to this game and visiting the John Smith's Stadium? It was the final game of the season and my wife and I had never visited the John Smith's Stadium before. So we decided to combine the game with a mini break in Yorkshire.
Plus Brentford were on a good winning run. The early kick off meant we had to leave our Surrey home at 6 am. The ground was easy to to find. Being there early, we took a stroll around the John Smith's Stadium and took in the views of the surrounding countryside. There were some home fans around and there were no problems. The ground looked impressive and was different for a modernish stadium with it's four separate stands. Football wise, we could not have chosen a better match as the Bees carried on their winning streak and absolutely took the home side apart, running out winners.
The atmosphere was terrific as Huddersfield fans were seated on the other side of the Chadwick Lawrence Stand, both sets only separated by a few rows of tarpaulin covered seats. Despite the scoreline, I thought the Town fans were terrific, they got behind their team for the whole game, with a drum and huge flags, the banter between the fans was excellent and largely friendly.
The drum went quiet when our fourth goal went in, leading the Bees fans to sing "Where's your Drummer gone? The half time pie was excellent and the facilities good.
I thought the stewarding was a bit over the top as one or two of them were just standing there staring provocatively at Brentford fans and making notes. We do not have any history of violence at away grounds , there was no trouble and the two sets of fans were very good natured. The car park was conveniently situated right behind the away turnstiles,there was a bit of a delay in exiting but not too bad.
It was a superb day out,I know the scoreline might just have helped, but the whole atmosphere was tremendous and full credit to the home fans for helping to create it. Easy drive up. I was looking forward to this game as the John Smith's Stadium is a ground that I had never been to before. From pictures I had seen of it, it looked to have an interesting design with the semi-circular roofs above the stands. Getting to the ground was actually quite difficult, as it was traffic chaos on the M62, and when we eventually got into Huddersfield, the parking wasn't too good either.
In the end we had to park in a bit of a run down area. Still from here it was only a ten minute walk to the ground, which was very easy to find. There was a pub about five minutes away from the ground. The most important thing is: British authorities will review the all-seater rule, which officially opens the case for legal standing in top leagues of England and Wales. It took only several days of momentum to reach immense support of , British citizens and thus force the British government to officially debate safe standing in Premier League and Championship.
But to buy the most expensive name it's 87 times that amount! Tweets and emails remind Huddersfield Town that there aren't enough tickets for everyone interested.
But is this enough of a reason to revamp John Smith's Stadium already? Premier League promotion isn't the only thing going on in Huddersfield this year. A massive leisure complex is expected to encircle John Smith's Stadium by , including a modern ski slope. Borussia, Barca and Man United — lovely dominant trio.
The last phase was the construction of the fourth grandstand: The Panasonic Stand. The design of this stand considered concerts to be staged.
Therefore, the lower tier is comprised of demountable and removable seating. The capacity for concerts can be up to 40,, whereas for sports use, the capacity is 25, The stadium was finished in , by completing the bowl with the third phase. References: D. Sheard: Sports Architecture, Spon Press, Ken Davy took the club on and if he were to restore the shares to the club, by selling them to Dean Hoyle — even making some profit — we would thank him very much.
But for him to make vast profits from developing the stadium site, with no benefit coming to Huddersfield Town — that, surely, cannot be right. Davy, exasperated with the criticism, is standing firm. And in no sense could be considered unreasonable. Huddersfield's community stadium dream sours in ownership wrangle. The Galpharm Stadium blazed a trail when it was built but now more familiar disputes cloud its future.
