This again?

Before restricting herself to more >ahem< 'sympathetic' platforms I thought Lesley Brentnall (eventually) admitted the personal details thing was voluntary. Yet punters are still being messed about?

And with it still being unclear if the same policy applies to visiting fans.

Looks like GB's inbox might be getting busy...

To be fair, I didn’t push the voluntary bit although I did ask why they needed it. Just got the standard “everybody has to”...

The law says something about only storing private information where needed... that isn’t and therefore is a reason for a formal complaint, why would they even risk that?

It never applied to visiting fans which kinda ruined the ‘safety’ line that was trotted out as an excuse for what we all knew it was.

It’s cramped, cold and dreary.
Sorry, I’d sooner be in a heated marquee. Or the club shop - that’s had nothing to sell all season and is a waste of space.
I feel sorry for any away fans who’ve had to endure the North Stand in the past. I never knew it was so badly designed.
Just make peas available on the other concourses and I’ll be happy.
Oh, and chips - most grounds can knock up chips these days. I’ve no idea why we can’t.
The club still has no idea about how to maximise the fan experience and, as a result, it’s own revenue.

Im getting fed up with Jackson's steak pies now. While they are ok I don't think they are generally as good as they used to be, not so good cuts of meat I think. Anyone agree?

I’ll never tire of a Jackson pie even after the odd occasion it’s been cremated.

It’s the only thing that’s kept me going these last few years

This is the key.

Some of us have said from day one we'd frequent a pub style supporters club, perhaps paying some nominal membership fee, that's better than the basic concourse yet not as fancy-assed as the lounges. Somewhere that could quite easily be another suite on non matchdays too.

However given what friends and 'BB' members are saying this clearly isn't that. And you've gotta wonder what'll happen if/when better supported outfits return.

Another thing, too; I'm hearing one or two in the lounges are snitching and bitching about others inviting post match guests into there. To be clear: these are properly dressed and impeccably behaved punters putting money into the CFC coffers yet 'someone' has snidely demanded their exit. Hell - it's not as if folk're crammed in there at that time anyway.

Petty, pathetic, and summat I'm sure'll be raised with GB.

We’ve missed the boat with a proper bar now the ground is built as not sure where it’s go unless you’re kicking out the community side of things in the east stand. So best option now is some sort of marquee that’s fitted out somehow. Even then it either needs the club to take a punt on it or the fans to push it to the point the club can’t ignore the demand.

The pride park one is opposite my work so I might try and get a closer look.

You're forgetting the bud ale seller, who I didn't see in east stand yesterday

Do you feel sorry for those using the South Stand?

He did a runner into the south stand (with his mobile pump and barrel) midway thru the 1st half for some reason.

Those who have been to Yeovil will know they have a heated marquee complete with TV screens. Always liked going in and a place where home and away fans can mix.

Oxford haven’t had that tent for a couple of years now, since the owner had an Hilton hotel built on the land where it was situated.

Was thru the barricades before I noticed, so too late then, must have run out in South stand or summat.

This is the one they have at Derby but cant find any pictures of inside :-
