Comments : Gigg Lane is a nice little stadium that I was quite impressed with. Parking was good, we just asked a steward on arrival at the ground and he guided us to a suitable spot right inside the concourse.

From there all the stewards are very friendly and we were let into the stadium and basically allowed to decide if what part of the ground we wanted to watch the game from, either in the away end or along the side of the pitch by the halfway line. We choose the later and there is a ground level area and a slightly elevated platform as well.

The view is very good for pitch level, and the bury supporters around us were very friendly.

Food and Drink is as you would expect, easy to get to although it's handy if you have a helper.

The toilets are a little less impressive, there is one towards the Home end but it has a ramp that you may need a push to get up and it's fairly primitive. The toilet was actually blocked when I went and was not a nice sight!.

Getting out was easy, we did leave a few mins from the end (and missed the winning goal!) but overall I was very impressed with the set up. Which just proves that even if you are a smaller club, you can provide good facilities!
