    No improvements at all to the Kid Zone then. Personally think they should just close it now, until they’re prepared to create something close to acceptable.

    Well done on bringing these in. But I hope that future changes are more attractive. On the pinned thread for fan experience I reckon the majority is to actually improve the fan experience. Yes 3 for 2 int too bad but improvements to the fan zone was a big thing, also the kids club. Atmosphere In the ground and access around the ground. Well done on kicking things off but like my school teachers always told me… must try harder

    Good to see the upgrades to the match experience. Steps in the right direction and I think we'll see announcements of bigger projects/improvements once the new lease is signed off.

    Apologies there won't be the Trust van at the Fan Zone this weekend but we'll be back for Derby. We've all got other commitments that we couldn't change to get it open this weekend. I'm taking my 8 year old daughter to her first game for instance so we'll probably check out the Kids Zone and see what she makes of it and will also pop in the fanzone as a punter for a change. She's got no interest in football so I'm hoping something catches her interest :D

    If anyone's got any suggestions on how to keep her entertained please let me know :D

    I guess the problem with the Ponte is the limited space on the concourse. There's a lot more to play with in the East Stand. What would you like to see? I suppose an improved food offering? Also, I think there will be limitations on what is improved until the lease is signed off and the bigger plans can be implemented.

    cheers for reply gally, yes food definate they advertise stuff that you cant get but food would be good, better way of serving people the queues at half time are horrendous even if you come down 10 mins before HT, why couldnt the outside bit near the turnstiles be used for something live music, extra street vendor style food?

    It’s a step in the right direction, let’s hope it doesn’t fizzle out & we can add to it in the near future

    3 for 2 is no good if you're a pair. Buy one get one free would have been too generous though. Good that vegan and veggie options have been added at long last. The option to pay pre game and pick up at a specific time is missing.

    Could you not have 1 and a half pints each, for instance? :D Or more than one. I think i'd make it work :D
