Yes, yes, yes. Flood the place with Dhillon's stuff.
Some proper cider would be even better, but unfortunately that's not going to happen. (Thatcher's shite, even though far better than the Strongbow/Magners ilk is still shite).

Thatchers has changed. Drinking it now and it’s tastes more like a fake sweetness than before.

Bring back the pie a tea sellers walking around the outside of the pitch ..... like in the 1960s and if we ever play Everton get them to bring that lady who threw free toffees into the crowd

Two big screens placed either end so everyone can see the replays! Improve toilet facilities and concession stands to be highly efficient and offer better food and drink. The whole stadium has for some time needed maintence and a new lick of paint. Gt rid of the Ricoh signage and paint out the back wall of the stand that connects the hotel. It's white and stands out like a sore thumb. Black/dark grey would improve the asthetics with big club badges (WASP and Sky Blues) instead of where it says 'RICOH' . Improvements to the walk up to the stadium. Golf cart pick up servive from the car parks for those in need. I could go on.....but lay a new pitch with the allowable percentage of plastic grass in it for durability. Electronic advertising boards around the stadium required now as we are more main stream in the championship and this is a source of god revenue.

It's pretty horrible.
I'll stick with the stuff I buy direct in 20L and 10L BiBs from Devon (cider) and Norfolk (perry).

The quality depends on if you get the apples from the orchard in Somerset or the ones imported from China. It’s still the best mass produced cider you can get.

If you’re looking for boxes the best I’ve found is Rich’s medium. Always buy Somerset cider, the climate is just right for cider apples.

A memorial to all the sky blues who didn't get to see this happen ie CCFCWAY and several others
Just beat me to that. I was going to say some sort of memorial where names could be added from time to time perhaps. Start it off with CCFCWAY and Fellatio Martinez.

Hence your User name I presume!

I buy Harry's Scrummage Medium and Whin Hill Perry. Both still (can't stand it fizzy), and both real; produced from their own fruit (definitely no concentrates). Trust me ;)

Do you mean the cans? How do you know which you are getting. I’m comparing the new design cans with the old ones. Got both in and the difference is night and day.

Wrong thread for this really.

You asked for one...so you get plenty - sorry.

* Make the concourse areas a 'destination'. Live music areas / larger screens to watch earlier / later kickoffs. A better 'feel' to the areas so that they are more appealing. Better quality choices of food/drink. Catering to try and upsell - can bars and more options that the long queues in concourse. make it easy to take my money.
* Sort out segregation/away fans - so to create a good atmosphere. Give some realistic thought as to where to place them/us.
* Actively selling JSB/membership. We may have lost a few years of youth support being distant - so go to town to promote a good JSB offering.

In a non-Covid world all sides open but with netting at back of stand for 10 or however many rows necessary to compact the crowd.

Fans behind the goal will only work well if we get crowds above 15k.

Closing the North Stand worked in 2015 ish because it meant fans being together.

Liam Walsh doing a mazy run from the halfway line and smashing it top bins in front of a packed house.

Finally, everyone gets to witness the Scouse Messi's magic live in action!! 💦

If we can't get the retractable pitch I'd at least like a centre circle that can be raised and lowered and then at HT we can raise up a former player to pitch level for gladiator style entertainment. For a bit of extra cash, before the match we can all text in what weapon they're allowed to use.

Seeing Craig Bellamy, with a bog brush in his hand, chased around the Ricoh by a tiger has got to be worth the season ticket money on its own.
