East Stand Corridor Throng - Views from EAST Stand fans please

[Jacob Sladder]

With ever increasing ticket numbers ( a good thing) the crush in the East Stand corridors for food and loos is all too often chaotic, and sometimes downright dangerous should an incident occur (a bad thing!).
Does anyone have views on whether my attached suggestion might work and how it might be put forward t' management for consideration (if not too many of you dump on it). Any suggestions for enhancement would be welcome too. The fundamental change is simply to have the food queue go down the left side of the glass bridge, with a designated "Clear Zone" where all the footflow crosses over.

Just think - it could be the end of the "Are you in the food or bog queue"? conversation, although I appreciate many lifetime bonds have been forged on the back of it.

Cheers

It's a very reasonable suggestion and glad someone has put thought into it. I am sure @Medway Blue can bring this up at the next FAB meeting. To me, it's certainly much better than the current situation.

Just a thought if the rising smoke from the Burgers cooking away drifts down the corridor ( walk way ) how will people know when they are next in line ( lol )

Move the Dave Brabbing half-time talk zone to Priory Park (Priory Crescent entrance).

I'll raise this with Rhys, as it's more his area, and with Rylee as part of Fan Engagement.

Get rid of the grot burger bar. The queues for it are a lot of the problem.

Thank you. I've had no negative feedback or bricks through my window with notes on, so hopefully it will get some traction.

This. Condemn that hole in the wall & get a couple of burger vans parked outside the green/black turnstiles.

A clear walkway can be introduced down the tunnel & along the corridors for people going in/out, which will prevent the usual crush.

That could be phase two of the rethink, with the freed space being converted into a nail and eyebrow bar, perhaps, for which there is growing demand.

This would further reduce the number of parking spaces available in the car park - are you sure that would be what people want?
