We've putting in planning permission for a fan zone, the reason it's being done is the home end catering area, although it looks large, it's not sufficient and creates people congestion, I'd say to a level where it creates a minimal safety risk...so the idea is to take some of the land outside back of the home stand and convert it into a fan zone, this then creates an overflow reducing congestion in the Rainham End food court area. Although we are in a residential area so it wouldn't surprise me if we get someone appealing it, but it is still within the club owned land perimeter and we've guaranteed the serving of beer will be restircted in this area, ie no pissheads and additional stewards to monitor it....what could possibly go wrong lol.
