    What would you change?

    For example would you keep the away fans where they are
    Would you have vending machines instead of waiting ages for a pint at half time
    Stewards who have common sense
    The music the lads come out to

    Personally I'd change the seats as the pink does my head in, I'd employ more people at half time to serve and are quick at their job. And I would have a £10 ticket section, so people know how many are actually getting them at this price

    The service at half time is dreadfull, also we cant see the scoreboard from the south as its blocked by its own so a mini one one the back of it would be nice

    Would have a Niall Quinn and Bob Stokoe stand. The names are a bit boring atm.

    Agree the pink seats need some attention and would love to see a Bob Stokoe stand too.

    Also can the club not raise revenue by selling the advertising space all the way along the back of East Stand... the plain grey cladding doesn't look good.

    Would change the name to Wearmouth Stadium
    I would wish for everyone who attends to put the effort in and sing like they did for the last 15 minutes or so of the West Brom game..

    love the idea of naming the stands north,east west and south always sounds ****e to me....... would have loved the stadium to be named wearmouth stadium when we first opened it but wouldn't be fussed if we sold the naming rights to a sponsor now and bring in some much needed revenue

    Better quality seats ( Milton Keynes aren't bad).
    Would have said the away fans but after having a season ticket in the same spot for years ( North Stand) I am moving elsewhere in the ground.
    Improved beer, it's f*cking w*nk.

    If we nab 12th we should spend the extra money on sorting the seats out.

    There should also be a buy one get one free offer on drinks for season ticket holders :)

    Rename the south stand to the Niall Quinn Stand and make it a standing terrace

    Changing 48,000 seats would cost a lot of money and a lot of time, fill the stadium and they won't be visible

    Would you really want two pints in the stadium?
    It's like overpriced women's piss.

    I wouldn't say filling the seats is the issue, remember we only play 18 days of the season in the league, add an extra 7 for cup matches tops. So 11 month or so a year the seats are empty. Would be better spent on a paint that doesn't get sun fade

    Great shouts on naming the stands. Are they waiting on legends dying before they do it? Isn't naming stands a memorial thing?

    Make south stand a terrece (my last seat didn't exist and the extra room where the seat should have been was class)
