Improve travel to and from the ground, particularly for midweek fixtures.

The ground has had a number of significant capacity increases at a time we've lost bendy park and ride buses, a whole car park in Bennetts Field and a whole park and ride site at Mithras House. And more and more parking restrictions have been put in place in the local area near the stadium, whilst Southern have slowly reduced the amount of trains/carriages available and become more unreliable. All at a time that bike seats might get wet too!

Haven't seen the club do anything other than introduce a couple of park and rides that are only occasionally open and rarely at the same time.
An eastbound P&R would help. Also, why they close the bars in WSU after just 30 minutes just adds to the queues (do they do the same in East Upper?). Possibly when the fanzone opens that might encourage more to hang around and spread the departures out a little more. We always stay for a post match drink but once we've wandered down stairs, little inclination to then go into lower west or north.

As for the buses, if only Network Rail changed the bridge at Mill Rd to accommodate double deckers!!!

The north stand. It should be bigger, with a lower roof to create better acoustics
Bigger, and a lower roof?

Are you two foot f***ing six inches tall? ???

A stadium where the smallest stand isn't the one where the singing section of home fans are situated.

I have no idea what they were they thinking when designing it.
Getting f***ing planning permission and utilising the available site for the maximum capacity without further draconian planning considerations. But yeah let's bitch about that some more. Sake.

A less gentrified fan base.
THIS. We're far too cultured, knowledgable and have too many options of other entertaining things to do. Those of us that still live in the area live in a fantastic part of the country where even if times are hard you have plenty going for you so actually getting off your arse, and 'supporting' your team doesn't mean the same as it does to those that live in some Northern grief hole where football literally IS everything good going for you.

Getting permission to build the f***ing thing is what they were thinking. It’s a compromised design because of the very real army of objectors over a dozen years and two public enquiries.

Being nice. We’re just so bloody nice as a fanbase. Anything to mitigate this. Although I’d keep our Red, White AND Rosie wine options in every stand. One shouldn’t slide into total barbarianism.

Forget the monorail, a tram link from the centre of the city down Lewes Road to the Universities/the Amex would be amazing.
