Can they not just demolish the upper tier in the north stand,and weight it in for scrap

The proceeds could be used to offer subsidised premiem lager, and free pies to the faithful...

Quote from Quinn.

"All clubs thrive on full stadiums. Loud, passionate support is the backbone of football and when our stadium is full we are a force to be reckoned with. I know this first hand – when I was a player we could beat teams from the second they walked out of the tunnel, the atmosphere was so intimidating.

Not the case against the Mags Niall..

Reduce price to either £10 or £15.Why don't we build a retractable roof so when the weathers shite the playing conditions are good, keep the atmosphere in, keep some heat in. Build a entertainment area around the ground, like a sports village with a festival feel (preferably a beer festival!) for fans to gather before and after the game. Get some decent beer and food and keep the pricing right. Get the go ahead for drink walkers going around the ground so you can top you drinks up. What about a trial run of buses going to local areas and picking up (just for people who go to the games. Need to do something to get people back

its never full now but the same can be said for most stadiums not only in the uk but around europe,

Would cost us a fortune and make us a laughing stock.

I do wish they'd allow concessions in front of the North Stand and Move home fans to the South Stand so these areas were full rather than empty though.

I have never understood why clubs don't take more advantage of match day revenue like this, they all seem to want to get fans in and out as quickly as possible when there at least 3 hours of prime drinking time before and after the game, regardless of the current row over people noy having spare cash I'd think it's fair to say that at least 10,000 of any match day crowd spend at least £40 either side of the game on booze and kebabs etc, if the club could get half that crowd it'd be an extra £200,000 income every game, include a few cup games and that's over £4m a season

some of our best performances have come when the ground has been full but so have some of our worst

some of our best performances have also come when the ground is now where near full but so have some of our worst

from this I can conclude that the crowd is too often used as an excuse for performances (both good and bad)

the thing is, it's hardly fucking rocket science is it, all they need to do is have a look at some other sports and say I'll have a bit of that.

the concourse area is a fucking disgrace at best and a death trap at worst, Quinny wants a full house well he wants to try and walk around in the fucking concourse area when we have over 40K - you can't get fucking moved.
