Small things that need to be done at the ground

[SouthendSpence]

Painting so seat numbers are more obvious is a relatively easy job, and with no home game for a little while, I am sure we could find a volunteer to do this...................?

Could Solopress knock us up some nice fresh looking stickers (durable ones)? Then we would need people to through attaching them


EDIT read the rest of the thread before posting!

Funny man, or at least you think you are.

I’m a budgie

Does anybody know someone from Solopress?

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)

Toilets in the West Stand Family section are honestly the worst toilets I've ever seen.
No hot water
One cubicle has no door , the other 2 dont lock
Dont think any of them flush , not sure how long some of the poo's in them have been there.

Reading all this makes you wonder how the stadium has successfully passed H and S regulations.

And would take weeks to do and end up looking like this.

Is that the latest Banksy ???

Not sure if this is a quick fix but, the drainpipes that run down the middle of the West (row L), are generally shot - any persistent rainfall and it runs out at approx 2' from ground level rather than in the drain, which is covered = big tick

The turnstiles do not work with the new ticketing system on phones.

Two many adults getting into the ground on concession tickets no check carried out

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.

Maybe someone can grab some Bovril from the shop if they're off to get soap.

Concessions cover a broad spectrum and include nhs discounts, military discount etc

Plus I'm sure the OAPs look more youthful nowadays.

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...

How do you know this Annie?

Do you expect them then to turn up in scrubs or camouflage?

There not wearing a mask or carrying a rifle

Yep they banned masks awhile back.

Maybe they are turning up in camouflage

That's easily solved. Scrap concessions and charge one price for adults and a cheaper price for children.
