visited with my dad a few times, the hardest thing was finding the ground

parking was great, toilet facilities were good, all round good show

great seats near dugout in home end i recall, away end, a bit low down but no real complaints...

When visited Ewood Park : Season 0203
Event : Everton
Comments :
Comments : Typical and disappointing kop out.....away area for disabled fans is simply the concrete in front of the away fans, or "Row 1" as we know it..... Its a low view, almost feels like "grass level" but could be worse. You do catch the rain a bit. Facilities under the stand are a lot better than the view, and there is always a good welcome from well trained Stewards.....but yes their counterparts on the touchline do have very paramilitary style ! and can tend to block your view whilst picking out some miscreant from either home or away sections. Car Parking can be difficult if there are no passes for the "schoolyard" where home disabled park.

7 out of 10.

well all in all the ground is of good quality. the real thing that puts it down is the C.I.S. stand with its obstructed view.

p.s

When visited Ewood Park : November/02
Event : versus Fulham
Comments :
The contact at the club, Duncan Gardiner was very helpful as were all the match staff. Pitch side view behind the goal be prepared to get wet if it rains. Downside is that the stewards stand up during the game and obstruct the view. Rating 8/10
