I first attended a game at the Bernabay Stadium in 1992 and I’ve seen some much welcomed developments take place in the ensuing quarter of a century. Back in 1992 the ground had a covered side and a covered end both of which had seating but the other side and other end were both left open to the elements. The problem was that the seating in the covered side was quite low down which meant it wasn’t ideal for watching a football match as you’d almost be looking up at the players. The covered end, which hasn’t changed a bit since my first game, has bench like seating but being behind one of the goals again it isn’t the best place to watch from although it’s always been popular with the younger and, shall we say, more boisterous supporters so it’s the place to be if you want to sing and chant. The seating along the covered side has since been removed so it’s now standing only which is better as you get to see more if you choose to watch from that part of the ground. I should perhaps point out that being a non-league ground once you’ve paid to get in you can sit or stand pretty much wherever you like, there’s none of that allocated seat nonsense at the Bay. You can even switch ends at half time. Back in 1992 the other side was basically a grass bank with no cover at all. Being a grass bank it got slippery and therefore difficult to climb if it was raining, and as football is played in the winter it very often rains during matches, but being a raised bank it offered the best view of the pitch so it was usually the most popular vantage point. Since then however a new covered stand has been built on the bank with proper seats and a roof! It even has a couple of hospitality boxes and a press box, although admittedly the hospitality boxes are quite up to Premier League standards. This for me is the most welcomed improvement since my first match as it’s now possible to sit, keep dry and have a decent view of the entire pitch all at the same time. I believe the stand can hold 500 people so given that average attendances are around 200-300 you can usually take your pick as to where to sit. In terms of facilities there’s a small car park just outside the ground but there’s also plenty of free and unrestricted on-street parking and it’s usually easier to make a quicker getaway if you’re parked on the road. Being some distance from the centre of Colwyn Bay it’s not the easiest place to reach by public transport but there is a bus stop right outside, you’d just need to plan ahead though as I doubt there’s a regular service to such a “remote” outpost. Inside the stadium there’s a clubhouse complete with a bar and television, a snack bar selling drinks, chips, pies, etc and a club shop from which you can buy a claret and blue scarf to wave as you cheer the boys on. My one quibble would that the toilets, which like the covered end don’t appear to have changed in 25 years, are too small even for crowds of 200. They are crammed into a corner of the stadium so there probably isn’t much room for expansion but it’s time for a revamp as the facilities are a bit basic although to be fair they are usually kept reasonably clean. All in all the Bernabay is nowhere close to matching stadiums like Anfield, the Etihad or the Emirates but you can’t get into any of those stadiums for a tenner, you can’t pick your own seat and their half time pies are twice the price of those at the Bay. Oh, yeh there’s one thing I’ve forgotten to mention. The team are generally worth watching although as with any sporting team they have good times and bad times. A few years back they reached the Conference North, which is effectively Division 6 North of the English pyramid, but they’ve slipped back a bit since then. However they still play at a decent enough level. Hopefully they can make up some of the lost ground with a promotion or two in the coming years.
