It is very old.

Phenomenal atmosphere when it's full and the crowd's blood is up.

Probably has only been full once or twice in the last few years though.

I saw a preseason friendly there a couple of seasons ago, Wednesday vs Newcastle (5 - 4 to wednesday, everything a pre-season friendly should be) which was the most enjoyable game I've watched as a neutral bar none - atmosphere was excellent.
