Tremendous news😀 just what we need. You’d think it would be started and finished in the close season. Shouldn’t take more than a few weeks.

It’ll be used in August and September and the people will complain it’s out in the open and open to the elements along with not enough bar staff, prices, queues too big etc etc
You know it’s coming

The first thing they should do on that stage is get the Coates family to sing Money Money Money whilst showering the red and white mosh pit in tenners

Fair play to the club.
Personally, I wouldn't use it, but it's a great option for families who get to the ground early.

They put an entire circus on there in a couple of days, it shouldn’t take long to install a fan zone. The one at Leicester was ok supporters of both sides mingling. I’d hope it would be the same behind the Boothen? Loss of more parking spaces including disabled spaces will need thinking through.

I’d be telling the owners to save their money. Fan zone and our fan base does not go hand in hand, in my opinion. Even playing ‘Delilah’ pre-game upset people enough to get it removed. Whilst people might like the thought of SCFC as an all singing, all bouncing partisan crowd, we’re the exact opposite. |

This is a great initiative and is a proven revenue source to plenty of clubs across the country and Europe. I, for one, would be more inclined to get there earlier and make more of a day. No matter what the weather conditions. |

I'd love the owners to blow a bit on a new stadium all together a complete rebuild incorporating a fan zone with a high tech pitch able to accommodate NFL games etc 🏈

Cool for those that want one
I shan’t be using it though, not once have I ever thought my match day would be made better by screaming kids everywhere and yet more overpriced beer and food stalls with some knob on stage trying to make some sort of atmosphere!
My idea of hell!

I’m believe I ambled through one or next to one at anfield or Goodison a few years ago and thought what a crock of shit back then, face painting was on offer or a balloon modeller…. I would say that a large screen outdoors would be good for World Cup games or whatever though! |

The fan zone outside the Eintract stadium is brilliant and it continues once inside beer passed to you in your seat with food the same. Order from the vendors pass your money get your products and incredibly your change comes back too. |

Good idea but the catering has to be independent. Reasonable prices for food and drink. I’m not sure though that this will be the case due to the effect on in stadium income. Let’s see

There was a half arsed one outside Bristol City away end. Nothing special but you could get a pint and something half decent to eat. It was ace.

Let’s see We have some great local independent brewers along with food outlets and hopefully the club invite them along different weeks. Also a good idea get local bands different weeks or singers. A lot of the German fan zones have games, hopefully another idea the club take on board. |
