Stupid fences.

Does the club have any intention of working with the F&B people to sort out the service. Bristol City home end and Southampton away you spend about 30 seconds queuing for a pre-poured pint. If we're making money from it then it might make sense to ensure people can actually hand their cash over.

Stupid fences.

Any more detail on how the away priority system will work and if there will still be a benefit to having a ST.

Stupid fences.

Any indication of what the ST prices will be next season and if there is an increase will that be going into the playing budget, what is their strategy for encouraging sales after record sales didn't translate to increased budget this year.

Stupid fences.

I know this is only rumours but I'd like clarification that they haven't got some hair brained scheme to shut the corner next season.

Stupid fences.

A small one but didn't we used to have a little bit of half time entertainment, a crossbar challenge to win a shirt should cost them basically nothing.

Stupid fences.

This has been mentioned as a joke but I think you should bring up the discontent about fan groups having reserved allocations on away tickets. Find out if they intend this to continue next season.

Stupid fences.

another point of the away allocation. If fans with the same priority missed out on tickets for Bournemouth (for example) they should then be given priority over those that attended for the Fulham game (for example)

Stupid fences.

This may well not be worth them doing but it is something that would benefit many non Cov based fans - would they ever consider putting on arranged transport from cities where x number of fans signed up for a season. Just like away coaches but going to home games. I'm sure, for example a Manchester or London coach would sell out and they can make a small crust from it.

Stupid fences.

Are they intending to invest in resourcing our support functions over the summer. Ticketing and merchandise has been a shambles at times this season and I don't blame the people working there as I think they're over stretched. We need bodies in place and to stop looking like a L2 club behind the scenes.

Not sure there's a lot the club can do about the trains but worth asking if there's any update.

Next years kits will no doubt be sorted but there are some great fan creations out there so maybe ask if there's a way for fans to get involved in future seasons.

The match day policing & stewarding is a big issue as has been mentioned many times on here. Would be interesting to know how much, if any, influence the club has on these decisions or if its all dictated by the SAG. Would also like to know why the response to any incidents at our games is disproportionate to other clubs. We don't go to other grounds with thousands of seats to keep supporters separated or barriers up around the ground. We seem to put responses in place that just cause more trouble, some of which seem solely designed to move supporters off the footprint of the arena so 'its not our problem'.

I get that we've got some idiot fans and that there's issues at every club with increased coke usage leading to problems but I don't see why our response should be so over the top compared to everywhere else.

These points are absolutely spot on.

It's obviously only a minor thing, but I was talking to someone about the half time entertainment at the last home game.
They should bring back the half way line goal challenge for some tickets or cash. Was the best bit about the match in league two

Loads of late 30’s/early 40’s year old women dusting off their blue pom poms and getting ‘The Crew’ back together as we speak!

Drug usage inside the stadium is a good point. From vaping and spliffs to coke it’s all happening with seemingly no comeback. And it’s not like you need drugs to enjoy the game any more.

There's the halftime entertainment. Instead of trying to kick a ball in the net from different distances get people to snort lines. Start with 6 yard line, 18 yard line, then halfway.

Would be good to find out what the events strategy is for next season. E.g. The Race Day, 'An Evening With'. One of the things DB brought in during the L2 season and continued up until the pandemic which I thought was a breath of fresh air.

They seemed quite popular pre-Covid so it would be good to see if there are any penciled in for next season as the club has seemed to have dropped the ball and failed to capitalise on the positive fan-feel this season.
