Personally speaking I find the stadium facilities first class

Yep - I agree - I've been proud to take the kids over the last 2 years.

Stewards were very helpfull last season when I had a spot of bother with split seats and 2 young bairns.

I think more should be made of the facilities pre-match. IMHO, the club don't encourage people to drink in the ground before a game, instead letting them go to crowded pubs.

I realise it is a balance and we wouldn't be able to cope with huge numbers. However, the SJH stand has a concourse the whole length of the stand - as do others presumably. However, to charge £2:30 or so for a beer is a bit OTT, compared with local pubs. Why not drop the prices, and encourage more fans to meet before (and after??) the game in the club facilities instead of the local pubs??

Oh yes - it would be nice to get a Bottle o' Dog as well. I don't even know if that's possible in the Gallowgate End Broon Ale Stand.

I also think we should have a video wall. We have two obvious areas - the ends of the SJH (East) and the Milburn (South). Not perfect for everybody, but a start.

YES! Video screens! With the height of the new roof on 2 sides, there has to be some way of hanging a screen/screens without blocking anyone's view.

I also think there could be some way to improve the crowding of various concessions..in particular inside gate 25(I think that's mine). It's impossible to get through with a bar and betting stand right across from each other. Not sure if there's other places around the ground set up that way. It means going 3 gates down to a ladies room faster than trying to battle through that crowd to get to the ladies just the other side of the traffic jam. Not fun when you're bursting at HT!

As i've discussed with Screacher, I also think that more should be made of the bars beneath the stands. Beer at the same price as the surounding pubs would be one idea. Another would be to install same large screen TV's in these bars, and screen pre match interviews with players, perhaps some footage of previous matches between the participating clubs. They could have a pre match show an hour or two before the game kicks off, a bit like Sky TV.

The same could happen after the game, rather than everyone flooding out to spend their money outside in the pubs outside the ground, why not have a post match TV show with match highlights, interviews with players and staff. Generally what I am saying is that NUFC TV would be a good idea and would generate funds for the club. It could even go out as a small subscription service on internet TV.
