Cricket Sa Boland Park Paarl
International events should not be held here!!!

South Africa vs New Zealand 1st ODI 19/1/2013

1. Venue opened 30min later than advertised time
2. Paid extra for Grand stand tickets, but tickets taken at gates and therefore anyone could sit on the grandstand
3. Bar not far, but prevented from taking a direct route to it (for unknown reasons as it posed no security threat). Therefore missed a large part of the match trying to get a drink.
4. No gate close to the Grand stand (only one that was only for disabled people)
5. Only 1 bar to serve at least half the spectators.
6. Poorly trained stewards with inconsistent and often wrong instructions.
7. The score board and all the screens stopped working for about an hour, no plan in place for such eventuality

Finally - I would strongly advise anyone against going to Boland Park to enjoy an international cricket match and unless the organizers up their game, matches should not be held as they cannot deal with that many people.
