Breaking News Big Screen at RH for Gateshead fixture

[Shrimper]

A great atmosphere at the screening but the only drawback was once the match started fans wanted to go out and get another pint or something to eat or go to the toilet so we were forever standing up and sitting down to let people out. A good idea but not easily done in the east stand!!

The East Stand is not great in general. A new stand cannot come soon enough

As per the accounts, they've already spent £200,000 on it. That can only be prep work of some kind, but clearly it's happening.

Would they be able to get 2 screens for play offs? Tickets for the screening sold quite quickly and I think people may struggle with Thursday night 7.45pm kick off at Rochdale. Screening would be great

was actually really enjoyable even with the nerves. the only downside though was one toilet for so many people, other than that was really well put together for us!

There was a point on Monday when the 100 person capacity was reached and all enjoying a drink in the bar, hardly anyone buying, bar staff waiting to serve and a long queue waiting to get in. It was only then that the stewards started advising people to take their drinks into the stand to increase flow. I also don’t know why the Shrimpers bar wasn’t open. Lots of good revenue lost.

Absolutely had to open two bars! You'd hope they learnt from this.

Yeah wasn’t ideal did happy hour but who wants to me in them awful seats 90 mins. Let alone pre match .

They also need to word it a bit better in regards to the happy hour. The website made it seem like it was happy hour from 12 till 2pm. Plenty of fans thought the same in the bar. They then decided to change it to 1:30-2:30pm. Surely you would do it earlier to get people in there and then put prices up once you have people inside.

These things are always trial and error and I'm sure they learnt a lot from the first outing.
