Broadhurst Park — Attraction in Manchester

Sadly a little rundown in places. It does appear that a start on improvement has been made but when you get away from the two main stands, it looks a bit tired. As for catering, the steak pie was awful! Overcooked and reheated to within an inch of it's life.
