Don't know about the new one but I was at Layer Road on a Wednesday night with a Col U friend back in around 2001ish on a trip down from Norwich to see them play Swindon. As real (human) as it gets with hot pies and an in ground bookmaker that handwrites your bet on biro at the back of a wooden shed.
