    And that's a major problem, seriously?

    Most people know the team before they get to the stadium, there's a massive screen with the team, then the team actually appear on the pitch.

    If that's not enough people need to go to Specsavers.

    Massively small time is a bit of an exaggeration tbh, could be better and will be imo ...

    ... meanwhile some clubs have games delayed cos the floodlights pack up.

    You need to go back and see what I've actually said, then give your head a shake ...

    ... you're only seeing what you've already decided to see.

    And don't patronise me mate, I'm not in a mood so don't make out I am.

    I've read your posts and I'm not that stupid that I can't read.

    Best I give it a rest for the night

    yes it is a major major problem, and if anything happens the club will have serious problems it's taking abit of pride in your home, it's taking a bit of pride in your fans to give the the best experience possible, it's a bit of pride making sure some dryers work in a toilet, it's taking pride in that you own a football club and you want your football club in everything single department to be the best it can,

    if your lightbulb goes out in your house you change it, you wouldn't say well at least i'll be able to see in the morning where i'm going,

    OK mate, perhaps you should take safety first and keep away until the speakers and hand driers are working properly ..

    ... no sense in risking your life going into that situation is there.

    Someone can correct me if i'm wrong as I have not sat up there in a while but I'm pretty sure neither board is visible from certain parts of the upper tier

    Shyte, what a nightmare and I never realised ... my apologies.

    I could've missed the announcement about Jimmy Monty and the half time draw ...

    ... and what if I'd missed the birthday messages <doh>

    Must admit I think the stadium is in need of a bit of tlc. I am an irregular visitor, but it certainly feels a bit jaded. Mind you, I have been to Wembley and it is the same. I dont understand venues not making it smart, welcoming and value for money.

    Where about in the East Stand do you sit Marcus? I sit in the East Stand towards the North Stand and can hear the announcements clearly.

    Yes I am, I'm starting to get pissed off with people, like you, saying nothing's improved and ignoring everything that has to suit your argument. I've spelled out where things have improved, acknowledged where they haven't and been polite.

    Now I have Chunks patronising me and saying I'm 'in a mood' and you saying I'm acting funny.

    All because I don't agree with your petty hysterical whining ... sorry but I don't back down to cheap slurs about my mental state.

    You know fck all about me so don't get cocky.

    Bit of an arsey comment considering I didn't say anything negative I just gave my experience on the view of the boards? Come across as a right arrogant prick sometimes. People have very valid opinions and concerns and it seems like you jump on anyone who wants to communicate that.

    Well boo-fkcin-hoo ... you're not exactly perfect yersel tbh.

    It's just endless petty whining about the club and it becomes tiresome.

    You should think about how you come across now and again.

    This is one of the few areas of sport in which I'd be up for copying the Americans. Admittedly, the only stadium I'm familiar with there is the TMobile Arena, of the Vegas Golden Knights. But its a joy to visit. Ticketing is easy, security searches are easy, the area outside is well organised and fun, inside its clean, well-maintained, easy to navigate. Food and drink and merchandise is easy to access and the queues aren't huge. It's brilliant. Compare it to even one of the newer English stadia, like West Ham, which is a nightmare logistically, and its like night and day. We could learn a lot from them in this respect.

    Luton are in the PL and the entire ground is a scruffy shytehole, I'm amazed it gets a safety certificate.

    One of the stands is made of wood, the away end can't be evacuated in an emergency and fire engines can't get up the street.

    We're a million miles ahead of them.

    Oh yeah, no doubt. Having said all that, I quite Luton. I like all the scruffy old school grounds like that!
