Concourse artwork....

It was but it was manic inside with having half the stadium shut. They also didn't have all the kiosks open in the Roker End and theyve also removed the queuing system for the kiosk closest to the old mural (SWC end) which means that side of the concourse is just bedlam.

Yes, a lot complaining about that end of the South Stand, and that kiosk in particular.
God knows what it will be like when it's a premier game.

The old system with the red metal rail worked perfectly. Meant the queue went alongside the kiosk and anyone waiting for their mates to pass drinks back just stood along the rail or at the end rather than the 'queue' going back towards the toilets and being 10 deep at the bar. One way in, one way out. Ideal.

Yesterday was chaos.

Surely it’s an easy fix to just put it back

Exactly, noticeable as soon as you came through the turnstiles.

At first glimpse it's hard to tell who they are.
It is a really bad painting.

Murals in the ground are really good mind - much nicer environment

Even the red paint and a few words makes the whole place a lot brighter and more welcoming.

I remember Murray/Fickling being asked why it was just plain grey blocks when it was built and they said that it would cost too much to maintain if painted, but compared to the other work needed around the stadium this must be miniscule.
