Sounds like on the stadium finance we’ve mortgaged the arena. Might explain the charge on the arena company.

Already seen Eon covered at the arena so imagine we’ll see some of the new sponsors gone but sounds like they are taking their time to get it right so can’t moan

Probably adding 2+2 and getting 5, but the comments about spending money in the club and nowhere else felt like a big of a dig at somewhere. Perhaps Dhillons?

Enjoyed that, especially the £3.60 pints

I doubt it. It's something all clubs want. They want people up there from 12 for a 3pm kick off. New built grounds generally offer this.

Personally, although I'm happy to spend money at the club, you won't get me there early.

No single plan of what happens with the arena away from the game itself will be for the majority.

Many like to have a few beers and enjoy the buildup to the game. The location of the arena doesn't make this easy. It's the one thing HR will always have been better for. But if we could have a 'fans village' every game it would be a good experience for many and could raise a lot of money for our club. Some of us enjoy spending time with like minded people before a game having a few beers.

Although in many ways, the location works better for making money. If you arrive to the stadium early, the main option is drinking in the fanzones/concourses. At Highfield Road, you had way more options to spend money elsewhere.

Clever thing to do would be to provide some form of fan zone for away fans. There are already a couple of bars outside the away end. Take Norwich on Saturday. Their fan coaches will likely arrive at 12/1pm. Provide a fan zone and they'll drink there.

Exactly. It may not be what you want for yourself but is what many others would want.

Apart from the game we're not seen as a good away day. If driving you have to plan where to park because of the restrictions. If you like a beer or few before the game your choices are very limited without having a long walk. Most coaches will stop in a different location for the 'refreshments'. If planned correctly we could have a captive audience into the thousands especially for weekend games. Our F&B revenue would go up by multiples.

It's a no brainer for me. Give me everything I would like with like minded people and I'll be there each game. But just as important is doing something about the HT refreshments.
