Small things that need to be done at the ground

[danbowen]

Tills that do the maths for the staff. The girl who served me at the Boston game was using a calculator with a price list in front of me and tried charging me over £15 when I got a water, Oasis and two chocolate bars. Had to do some quick simple maths to tell her it was less than £9! Not only is this wrong for fans financially but it slows down the queues which in turn loses more money. Surely a till can have the limited items on it where they press the buttons and it tells them the price. Would speed it up at least 4 times.

Just a reminder for all those asking for HT entertainment… we’re a football club. Football should be the only thing you’re there for.

The hallowed turf isn’t a platform for Z list singers & wannabe dancers.

The only HT entertainment should be a decent soundtrack in the background (I personally think the music guy has got this relatively spot on) and the ability to check your 22-fold acca.

We’re not Americans.

Just a small one can we get some cycling racks put up and also the pitch rotated thanks

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

Get the people that did the murals in the hospitality to do more round the ground to brighten it up. Loads of white boring walls! Maybe a paint job on the Shakespeare drive entrances

Would that really assist your day ? It’s so mental what some people deem needed ?

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

We also had pre match...

Cheeky Girls, Andy Abrahams, Chesney Hawkes and Uniting Nations.

We really were no. 1 for entertainment/doing things differently and we did win family club of the year several times.

We will get back to those days I'm sure, one thing at a time.

Andy Abraham’s hahah the singing dustman.

Actually, we watch it in the hope there will be, but after 30-years I’m beginning to think I’m flogging a dead horse

The best one ever was the chap that blew himself up in a coffin. He was in the middle of the pitch but some bits of wood still hit people in the crowd. It was some explosion.
Must have been late 80's or early 90's.

How about sorting the match feed out again. So the match can be viewed on tv in the bars ? Loads of people miss the first 5 minutes of the second half while they finish their pints.

If he teams up with the cheeky girls I might miss my half time pint!

Nuts to the more recent ‘entertainment’ not been the same since the band. Those were the days…

As do those whose view is obstructed while they come back to their seats.

Remember it well it was two old boys wheeled the coffin onto the pitch at halftime there was no announcement what was going to happen one of them climbed inside then this great explosion, i heard someone had a heart attack in the west stand.

Never quite got half time “entertainment”. Surely clubs want their fans to frequent the bars and kiosks rather than try and keep them in their seats.

I've sent another list over including the things mentioned here, so let's see if this one gets any response. Copied both the Trust current and the incoming chairmen in too!

 

[Mad Cyril]

Decent food served in a timely manner would be a big earner.

I am not sure if the club run the food stalls or if they are subbed out but they are clearly not fit for purpose.

It seems like every other NL team has a dish they are famous for. Why can’t we?

Secure cycling parking would be great. But they would need to be secure - not the 'free bike shop' that are the cycle racks in many places.

Not sure what the food offering is like in other stands but East Reds food outlet has no cooking facilities. They have re-heating trays which keep the burgers warm (supposedly) and warm the hotdogs. Is this the same for the other stands or can you see the burgers actually getting cooked.

I'm not sure too much will change drastically in our food until stands are remodeled offering unless they allow some food wagons on site in a new fanzone area.

Ok so why not have some decent pies rather than the very cheapest burgers/sausages known to man?
