The Experience

Valley Parade has really changed over the years, and is now a stadium fit for first division football. 2 of its stands are certainly Premier League, built with the money from their brief stint in the late 1990s. Parking can be a problem as it is in a residential area, and the away fans are housed in the worst stand.
