[Albion] If you could improve ONE thing about BHAFC, what would it be?

[boik]

Sort out the striker development. We're good everywhere else but you see Undav, Sima, Gyokeres all scoring champions league goals this season and wondering why none of them are in our squad...

Maybe it's easier to score champions league goals than pl goals nowadays?

 

[HastingsSeagull]

A striker who could score other than Welbeck a few weeks a season. Say, Gyokeres?

 

[MXL]

I'm convinced they've got closer together this season...

WSU sections were moved together before the start of last season. bit of a tight fit now!

 

[Anger]

Yeah but i want a car sticker for my house window

With no sticker on display, I can see a forced sale of your house on the horizon.

I think even without blue & white tinted spectacles, objectively, this is a FANTASTIC football club.

...but nothing is perfect.

Better travel

 

[Cheggers]

Then you'd get three separate songs at once with better acoustics

We could start a round.

The North Stand, the home end - the club needs a specific plan for this part of the ground. It’ll never be bigger so it needs rethinking. Safe standing - yes. Do something (graphical) with the wall-expanse behind the seats to make it look more imposing. If they put a small platform of seating above it - extend the roof/floor of the new platform to improve the acoustics and look of the north.

Not just the WSU, the East stand received similar treatment.

When transport problems are raised many say that it is out of PBOBE's control but in many ways he has been the cause of many of the problems. The capacity at the Amex has increased by 10,000 or so and at the same time we have lost one P&R site and the Bennet's Field car park. A 50% increase in crowds and a reduction in transport facilities.

I would like a better SUPPORT not MOAN culture amongst our home fans.

Things not going well on the pitch? Would love it if our fans, rather than audibly groaning at every mistake, created a wall of noise and got behind the team instead!

Our away fans are good at this, but so much of our home fanbase is incredibly entitled and is 100% the reason why our home record at the Amex isn't as good as it should be.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Most common things food/drink covered by others so i would go with improving the men's toilets in WSU , more capacity and put the sinks and dryers nearer the door so people might actually use them......or even a row of foam dispensaries...

 

[Easy 10]

Move the away fans from being behind the goal to around the WSL SW corner. We should have HOME fans behind both our goals.
Pisses me off no end to see away fans CAVORTING behind our goal whenever they score, and its a bad look on TV. Get them out of sight.

TL;DR

The one things that NSC would change about BHAFC:

 

[wigman]

Pick the Amex up and put it where the Goldstone used to be

100% this.

Yeah, that just about covers it.

 

[Sea Cider]

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.

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.

Assuming you both have in-depth knowledge of the design process, I'd be genuinely interested to understand learn a) what specific parameters locked/limited the size of the North, and b) why the South (larger capacity) was chosen for the away fans?

 

[Gary Hart's Stalker]

Heated seats

 

[Justice]

We begged for a new Stadium we got a new Stadium stop f***ing moaning about transport.
If a questionnaire had gone out to fans before the Amex was built at its location I can guarantee all of us would have ticked we don’t mind an hours wait to get away from the Amex.

We'd have happily lied. Truth is tho it's an absolute pig of a place to get away from

You wish that we hadn't increased capacity? Seriously?

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

In the last few Goldstone years, during the winter months I would take a flask of coffee with a splash of brandy in it, that I would share with the 3 other regulars that stood by the same barrier.

By the time the warmer weather came if I’m honest, it was more brandy than coffee.

Cheapo cooking brandy tastes as good in strong coffee as Hennessy, or Couvoisier VSOP.

I used to do something similar on the long coach trips to away matches, but my alcohol of choice was Southern Comfort .
