@pete. My question I would like you to ask is , let the traffic flow after the game and not close the A444 down . There’s a bridge in place for pedestrians to use, if people are that stupid and cross the road it’s at their risk . It’s a nightmare getting away

It’s been answered before it’s a joint decision

Need to do something about those sat underneath the scoreboard as they cause mayhem at the end of games going against the flow. At the back of block 15, at the bottom of the stairs (outside), there is a stairwell out of the stadium, just wondering if it's worth opening that back up to funnel people back into the stadium and just make it easier for everyone involved to get away. I can send a picture of exactly where I mean if you need it?

One of those doors leads back into the stadium. I just think the current set up is an accident waiting to happen and making use of the current facilities as well as the natural flow of those in that area would make for a safer and quicker exit for all.

The most important thing...

Why do we, FA Cup winners, not have triangular corner flags like Arsenal, Palace etc?

Triangular corner flags in English football - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Lots of smaller clubs like Birmingham, Stoke and Middlesbrough would love to have those triangle flags.

Faster service in the bars.
More staff pouring
Less staff standing at the back doing nothing
Start pouring 15 mins before half time

Employing bar staff who were actually bar staff would help and understood what you just ordered.

I ordered a lemon and lime for my daughter in the Balcony Street Bar and the female bar staff just looked at me as if I was speaking a foreign language, I had to explain to her what it was and she still didn't get it, another member of staff had to serve me, that's one of the reasons the cues get so long.

Can the segregation in block 9 be made smaller so more home fans can get in? At the Sheff Utd game I noticed a new barrier has been put in about 10 seats in, then there are 15-20 empty seats and then the netting. Can the barrier be moved next to the netting?

The service at the outlets by anyone's stretch of the imagination is woeful.

Would DK and VIPs be satisfied with the level we're expected to accept?

If we make it to the PL does DK have any thoughts about increasing the ground capacity or is he happy to keep it as it is?

As I wrote in the other thread could the club consider getting more shelves to rest your pint on in the concourse - doesn’t need to be wide ( pint size )
Click to expand...
I agree with this. They also need to be big enough for those trays of chips and impractical giant cheesy hotdogs that people wander around with.

Comfy sofas and footstools would be nice too.

I had a pint from that Camden Town vending machine thing on Tuesday and honestly, I loved it. It's the newest thing that I now know exists, if that makes any sense, and felt like a potential game-changer.

Now that we own the stadium when there's gigs or other events there can we get season ticket holder priority. Some other grounds do that and would be a nice little bonus for ST holders.

Just the train station stuff for me pal. Would be interesting to hear on future plans for the stadium, from small things to large things like potential expansions etc... but train station is priority.

Don't know if this has already been asked, but now we own the ground, any provision for more bricks (for all the new and old fans) we can sell. Would like to get one for my dad now.

Apart from lobbying what do you expect the club to do? I use the station to get to the arena and back to Nuneaton and the 2 carriage is just about sufficient without growth and the frequency could be better but I fail to grasp what the club can do without the will of the powers that be.

You answered your question, congratulations. I and others want to know if the club is having conversations with the people that matter on this subject. Exactly the kind of question these forums are for.
I think its more interesting than "can I have a wider shelf for my pint" personally, which is also a fair question but each to their own.

It's been said before that us Leicester and forest are trying to get a direct line put back in. This I'm sure would then lead to possible expansion of the station. It's all on network rail though however much pressure is applied

It’s been planned for years. It needs money from the treasury. I’m not sure what people expect is to do.

To be clear, the wider shelves are also for fatties like me to prop up their burgers and full fat Coke

This might seem like a petty one but could you ask why it takes so long to update the youth team pages on the website?
They are still not updated from last season and because of this, people like the young lad Shepherd who recently featured on the bench for us, does not appear at all. They are all in last years kit and there is no indication of who is out on loan or who has moved up from 18's to 21's. It just looks so shoddy and unprofessional.
