New owner confirmed…

[SydneyTiger14]

I'm referring to costs here you thick twat!!!

What's the priority?

What a twisted/**** stirring tosser you are!!

Sydney my ****ing arse,you're probably from Orchard Park and used to be a 'RED'

I don't think there's any priority between signing a player and having a clean stadium.. the costs are incredibly different, thus my 'strawman' comment. It's laughable that you think spending a few quid keeping the place clean would stop us signing a player.

 

[Sir Cheshire Ben]

Its football Ben, I've been to some grounds where we are penned in on the concourse like criminals and the toilets are a ****ing disgrace. Bird **** on the seats ? The seat I paid for at Huddersfield was just two brackets. I moved.
Luton ? the bird **** was the least of the problems. There was human **** piled up on the floor in the toilets which looked and smelt as though it had been there for weeks.
In comparison our stadium is up there amongst the best.
Its not prefect but it is no way as bad as some on here are claiming.
And I don't need to drop anything, thank you. I have as much right to express my opinion as anyone else does.

Wonderful. Portsmouth & Chesterfield were also terrible.

If you’re happy with it you accept it. But leave those who are more civilised to ask the questions

Also, maybe, just maybe, if you’re so intent on defending your right to express your opinion without it getting shot down then have a little respect & treat others in a similar manner.

 

[Ric Glasgow]

He’s probably capable of delegating more than one task…I highly doubt he’s going to be out there with his crossbow getting rid of the pigeons personally.

I'm not talking about delegation,I'm talking about his priorities in terms of hard cash but I think you know that.

How much money does Acun have at his disposal.After he buys the entire Turkish National team,Mehmet Ozil and Uncle Tom Cobley and all,he's not going to have the money to polish the seats before we come?

As for those mentioning large holes in the roof and sitting in water pissing through,Fair comment!!!

Whats up with the toilets? the ones I use are fine

I am sure that some will be fine. Some are certainly not. Whilst there appear to have been some recent minor (but welcome) improvements in some areas issues still remain including a general lack of cleanliness (ranging from partially blocked urinals and toilets not flushing and overpoweringly bad smells), lack of toilet paper (in both gents and ladies), lack of hot water (sometimes a lack of any water!), lack of hand drying facilities (paper towels either running out or jamming). I know many of us can recall 'tolerating' some awful facilities from years gone by at BP and at many away grounds - but I feel sure we should be doing better in 2022.

A "few quid"? Expand?

Are you another one that thinks plastering the breeze block on the concourses and giving them a fresh lick of paint would cost a couple of grand?

A cleaning contract which would provide assurance that no **** would be on any seat for any spectator would cost a "few quid" more than a "few quid"...

 

[PLT]

It's an irritating thing about modern football, this increasingly common implication that fans should be grateful to owners for every penny their club spends. As if football clubs can never pay for anything with all the money we give them, it can only ever be a cash injection from the owner.

Maybe the SMC could take some of the £1,413,498.00 they spent on administrative expenses and buy a few power washers for £300 each and use some of the almost 200 people they normally employ each year, to give the place a bit of a hose down?

I think the big thing being overlooked here is the debt that racked up last year due to a pandemic and no revenue?

We are in times that we have never come across before in our life times and like it or not,Football is in the midst of picking itself up from the gutter ...That's not exclusive to our owner,it's evident throughout the EFL.

 

[dennisboothstash]

I remember the times when the wealthier, and not so wealthier supporters used to donate stuff like this to the club. Do you ?

Was that before the club had around half a £billon in income in recent years?

 

[allowentry]

If we're moaning about stuff can I bring up the turnstiles. It took me 20 minutes to get in the ground on Saturday and we were only at about 2/3's capacity. There isn't another ground in the country that has this issue so regularly. It had nothing to with the covid checks either. I didn't even break stride when I showed my pass on the bridge.

The cause of that is due to clueless people not having the intelligence to be able to scan a ticket.

 

[balkan tiger]

Keep it up chaps as this is pushing the page count ever nearer the 1904 winning post for kempton and me.

But ****ing hell some of the stuff on here this morning is unbelievable.

Sounds reasonable to me,idle hands should be set to work.Any particular reason for suggesting that the 200 aren't carrying out their required duties?

**** innit?

 

[brownbagtiger]

Well this escalated... one other thought which came to mind is there could also be a West v East issue going on (haven't been to South in forever so don't know if this is relevant there too). While I was luxuriating in experience of the posh seats on Saturday, the difference in concourses struck me again - there's tons of space in West, and half the people in there disappear into the lounges anyway and don't used the concourse. Whereas the floor space in East concourse is about half the size and has to deal with the entire stands worth of people.

The West stand exit did not have the bird **** problem that East does. Maybe if the lounge pass holders had to use the East facilities they would get tidied up a bit quicker...

OLM has done it for me, ta.

 

[Muzz]

There's that, but the cycle from one person going through to the next takes too long as well. I know it's the modern era and all that, but you used to get in a lot quicker when someone ripped the ticket and let you through. Other clubs must have a quicker system.

The **** on the seats for a start.

Twas ever thus...Saves you racking your brain.

 

[SydneyTiger14]

Perhaps the fact I suggested it wouldn't cost a lot of money in the first place indicates I was also aware of how much a power wash costs.

The fact you think it would cost as much as an International striker says it all.

 

[Ric Glasgow]

The **** on the seats for a start.

Couldn't you have got OLM to answer that too?
