I applaud the club for the survey....however just copy paste what Accrington do on match days for the fans, that will get fans in nice and early at oakwell and spending money catering is shambolic At oakwell this needs addressing urgently....more staff more variety of food and drink and the que times are ridiculous, all needs drastically improving half time entertainment is p*ss poor this needs addressing score board is atrocious I’ve seen bigger in curry’s shop window - take a look at fleetwood towns it’s superb. A massive scoreboard could improve the half time boredom ! Replays interviews upcoming events ticket info etc etc at least all of the fans could see it Lastly a dedicated singing section would be brilliant we need to get a more vocal support in Oakwell to back the team and generate a more hostile atmosphere communication from the board to the fans please stop treating us on a need to know basis like idiots one last thing can the Open sides at each corner flag at Oakwell Be filled in ?? That would make the noise levels higher where have those massive flags we had in the premiership gone to that used to be passed along the ponty ? Let’s get them out again
I mean, it’s not like there’s a thread for this already. Anyway we haven’t lost today you know the rules!
Can you name a football club that provides information to the fans on anything other than "a need to know basis"? What do you want? Dane on blower once a week? Live streamed board meetings?
i was talking to our old groundsman Tony a few years ago and he says that in enclosed grounds you dont get a circulation of air to dry the pitch so after a couple of seasons it rots the grass and the pitch has to be relayed
I like the open views. Also, you can have all enclosed grounds and the atmosphere is awful and vice versa. I agree about food and drink being improved and a singing area wouldn't be a bad idea.
Trouble with singing areas is that there’s a few think they’re no go areas for stewards and police etc and use it for smoking pot/ cigs and other illegal activities then once the authorities move in they then create an us and them atmosphere with the rest of the fans who fall for it and become hostile .
Oakwell too close to town centre for the majority of fans to arrive at 1pm . People would much prefer to have a few in town and walk down at 2:30 etc
