Small things that need to be done at the ground

Forums New posts
Out of the three pairs of taps on South Stand East toilets (the ones under the East stand by the entrance and snack bar) there is a solitary cold tap working. None of the hot taps work.

The urinals opposite the first aid hut smell worse than a Chinese public toilet (a reference for Jason Brown there).

The font on the scoreboard is often too small to be read from 110 yards away. Get someone to sit in the South Upper and work out what is the smallest font you can use that can be easily read from that distance. For example when a goalscorer is announced the photo is fine but who sponsors (or whatever it is that is either side) is completely illegible. Graphics that work on the website/in the programme etc don’t necessarily work on a screen that almost everyone will be 75 yards plus from.

More pies needed in SE corner snack bar (they’d run out entirely when there was still a long queue at ht)
 
I like the relaxed atmosphere when fans pile into the car park from the East to have a pint and a fag at half time. However, this does lead to a few entering the ground for a free second half. Not sure that particularly bothers people but can be a bit awkward for them finding a suitable seat and disturbing others.
 
This may not fall into the category of 'small jobs' and I think someone referred to it earlier in another part of the ground, but the stench coming from the East Stand Mens toilets is unbearable.

Obviously ripping everything out and starting again would solve it (and cost £0000s), but a really good one-off deep clean might help. That and teaching people to aim properly...
 
Have to agree with most of what has been covered here on the West stand and bins should be a must.
I have now at every home game had to turn off taps in the ladies lol as they are very stiff to turn off so needs someone to look at them. I dread to think how much water is being wasted.
