[Boosh]

Get rid of the doors and go back to there being no entrance or exit. The queues would literally half. It makes no sense to have a massive queue to a half empty toilet

Not that I care I’ll just carry on walking straight in

Not parked in the official car parks for a while but there was zero traffic management when I last did. The staff all disappear and the car park is a complete free for all

Add in that there's zero road management either and it's a recipe for disaster

Get some traffic management in the car parks so everyone has to go one way, one queue of traffic going out will move much faster than people stopping to let others in. Then there needs to be some road management. Don't let cars stop on Judds Lane and hold traffic coming down A444 from the M6. Final piece of the puzzle is to let traffic out from car park B directly onto the A444

All pretty basic event management stuff that has never happened, probably because there's a cost attached to keeping the car parks staff and paying the relevant authorities for road management

I used to park in car park B when they used to allow to straight out on to the A444. I know I haven’t parked there for a few years but is it now because they park the away coaches there?

Just remind people to keep walking once they’ve entered the toilet, rather than stopping and standing to queue as soon as they’re through the entrance. There’s always free space as you walk around - that way you can quickly find a space, and keep the queue flowing in one-way without worrying about people blocking the exit

Treat people with kindness

I'm all for that Boosh, I've done it all my life. Trouble is my mobility is seriously compromised by the amount of shit I've had dumped on me in return for kindness and I'm getting seriously smelly.

If you're disabled you've already got your own toilet anyway.

nobody complained about the way it was before, the assigned entrance just slows everything down

So when it comes to managing the toilet queue, you’re very much opposed to One Direction?

It’s the one thing that bothers me about the CBS. Still I’m sure they’ll sort it one way or another

 

[fernandopartridge]

Ask them about people trying to wash their hands in the sink at the arena while i'm trying to have a piss

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Can the club ensure we have pukka pies for sale on the concourse ( my favourite)

 

[shmmeee]

The situation with the train station is an embarrassment to the city.

The fact they’re planning to build VLR out to there says it all…

Firstly they’re based in Leicester, secondly, I once found a beak in a chicken and mushroom pukka. For those 2 reasons im out.

Beak in your half time pie, what a bargain

Never been a fan of chicken and mushroom . Mince and onion always

 

[Flying Fokker]

Serious one now, what can be done to get people away from the ground quicker after? We don't leave early and clap the players off but then the horrendously expensive car park takes an eternity to empty.

Most games sit there for the best part of an hour as everyone jockeys for position arguing like fek if someone gets 1 car ahead of them.

Walk? Park elsewhere?

Remember the roofless toilets on the Kop? I can smell the place even now!

The pies they currently have are decent to be fair!

And I always thought it was the pies

I’ll second that. WTF is VLR?

Don't agree with no entrance or exit, but I've said it before on here get rid of the doors on the toilets. There a pain in the arse and it's not like you can see into them anyway. Most grounds don't have them.

Years ago they gave everyone a letter on the way in saying they were stopping opening it after games because so many people had been run over which was clearly bollocks

Have you ever slapped a penguin... if not is it because you are a pussy?

Questions from SBT

What’s the vision / dream for the coming season
Where will we be playing next season? Will we know before season tickets are on sale?

Is the club talking to the SAG about how they can retain and improve the atmosphere and for regular crowds above 25000?

Any plans to open block 13?
Is there still a fan representative on the SAG? Why are we the only professional club that has blocks between fans?

Any plans to pursue an area of safe standing?

Any plans on getting sky back in the concourse?
What plans are there to improve the time to get away from the car parks? It’s a free for all at the moment. Some basic event management practices would improve the situation

Are the club aware of any changes to the train timetable and have they made any representation?

Any more to add?

Can the same food be served around the ground?

Where's our gift that season ticket holders were supposed to receive.

You may need to let that one go

Not joking, you can only get hot dogs and pies around Block 20.

I still don’t see why - given our experience before - we are seemingly looking for a licence and not a full lease - it would give a lot more rights and opportunities with better security

The Warwick Uni nonsense seems to have gone away so it’s odd
