lets hope not , dried up crap unless you have them fresh from one of their shops Have you had one from their shops lately? They're fucking awful regardless of where you get them from. Indeterminate grey sludge and potato pies (not especially cheap either). 1973 newcastle college wright's shop by the Duke of York. |

Pleased that there appears to be a gluten free food stand. I’ll give it a go tomorrow, as there’s nothing in the ground that currently caters for me. Genuine question, The gluten thing seems to have appeared in the last decade or so re food warnings or maybe I didn't spot it. Was it always an issue for a large amount of people and something that manufacturers just never catered for? Too right. The Human race is notoriously Gluten and Lactose intolerant  |

Excellent facility
Some minor issues
The queue for the bars could do with being made permanent.
Use the other gate (to the right of the screen) as an exit and the main one as entrance only.
Although the bars says food and drink, food is actually available elsewhere
The screen wasn’t on pre match (for the bit I saw) it would be good to get rolling classic clips
The food tent needed a sign and a queue
It needs more bins in the middle of the area
Hopefully long term it has a roof over the top.
It needs more bins in the central area, preferably ones with shelves
Overall it’s brilliant to see and changed the atmosphere around the ground. It would be great to have player interviews (even if on the screen) on there after matches. The drink selection was much better.

A good meeting point, we left earlier than planned, I have a heart and previous lung condition. So those smoking tobacco in the sheltered area was a little suffocating for me. I feel they need a designated smoking area, similar to a beer garden? On the plus side Hem Heath Cricket Club was easier to get served. |

Would be something a bit different. Missed a trick today like having the Olympics on or something. We had it on at work whilst we were doing what we do and it was good to see the different sports. Sounds like it’s a really good addition to the ground though. |

The concerning thing was the fag ends were being put out in a plastic bin with a bin bag inside? |

The fanzone was at capacity, as it became 1 in 1 out. I was upstairs in Ricardo's, & could see the large queue at the entrance, & that the fan zone was packed. There were clouds of smoke, especially at the stage area. A brilliant addition though, as is the satellite shop against the Boothen wall. They said that they had done lots of sales. Some sizes of home tops sold out. I was told that they will re-stock in September.
You need either your season card or Ricardo's membership card, to get into the fanzone.

Well done to the club on what they’ve done in introducing the fan zone,although the queues for the beer and to get in were long o have to say most folk looked like they were enjoying themselves.
Rose and Stevens were on stage and the teams were read out by the lady matchday host

Having sampled it before and after I can only say a massive thank you to the club for bringing this to the match day routine.
Many years ago after a game at Man City (Diouf 1 nil) I came back to this board like a kid at Christmas just hoping that one day we'd have something similar. I can only apologise if I've bored people to tears with it over the years but I just know our fans will take to this in a big way.
We were never going to get it under Scholes but since the new broom has swept through the other side of the club it's just onwards and upwards.
You can never guarantee a result in football but if you can produce pre and post match atmosphere in a facility like that then you are onto a winner.
It's great, really great. 👍
