[Misc] Toilets, yes toilets

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Simple 21st century solution...

Convert half of all toilets (men and women's) to unisex.

This won't work. It would need to be all-cubicle.

The best managed toilets I've ever used at a sporting venue are at the Oval, where despite a lot of people using them frequently during a day's play in a test match there are rarely lengthy queues. A "one-way" system helps to alleviate it a lot IMHO, plus having separate facilities for urinals (with a quick turnaround) and stalls to keep the flow moving.

If the club could rescind the rule on plastic bottle tops that would help, if you know what I mean ...

Or even colostomy flasks

The queues for the catering outlet towards the North end of the concourse were so long there was barely any space for people not wanting to queue, so the whole place was gridlocked with no one really able to move anywhere.

Being an ESU regular I can tell you we suffered a few years of this but now, for PL games, fans tend to turn up 20 mins before KO and go straight to their seat. Thus, for me anyway, the catering queue is only a few people long.

And what happens if the Amex hosts an England Women's International ?

It has or was it a friendly a few years back?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Why?

Women don't stand up to piss (unless its a German porn shoot).

Stocking up before March 29th?

Plenty of toilets for a crowd of less than 10,000

I am perfectly happy to identify myself as a woman when I'm breaking my neck for a piss.

A Welsh mate of mine did this in a pub in Dublin before Ireland v Wales football. He got luzzed out. Apparently bouncers in Dublin boozers don't believe that Cardiff fans in Lacoste baseball caps with tattoos on their hands have gender identification issues

I'm sure woman would hate that considering how many blokes don't lift the seat before PISSING all over it

You've obviously never been to a major motorsport event. Went to Brands Hatch some yrs ago to watch the World Superbikes event. It was estimated that there was in excess of 100,000 people there. You joined the queue for the toilets before you even wanted to go because if you left it till then, you wet yourself which was quite apparent in some cases. Also you joined the queue for burgers etc long before you were hungry.

Concourses get busy at half time. This isn’t new. Having visited many stadiums, I find the Amex has some of the better toilet facilities and okay queues. I have found myself getting to the end of the queue to be told there’s not much food left though. Yesterday, the North ran of burgers by the time I get there with still 5 minutes before the second half started.

Speaking of the North, I tried the NW corner section for the first time yesterday. The mens toilet upstairs for that section and the shelf was very dark. The light did not carry though to the cubicle I was in. Was dark enough you wouldn’t be able to see the inevitable piss left on the seat. The North is certainly more cramped than my regular area in the East Lower. First world problems, eh?

Never had a problem with the queues in ESU wander to the loos 5 mins before the second half starts straight in and straight out.
There again I. Don't drink due to driving.

Another question who on Earth takes a half drunk pint in a toilet? One guy yesterday (probably a West stand tourist ) actually put his beer on the floor while taking a piss!!!!!

 

[sams dad]

Oh for the good old days of standing on the North Stand terraces. If you wanted a piss, you just rolled up a newspaper to preserve your modesty, then pissed onto the concrete. Job done and no need to lose your precious place.

Half-time in the ESU was ridiculous. The queues for the catering outlet towards the North end of the concourse were so long there was barely any space for people not wanting to queue, so the whole place was gridlocked with no one really able to move anywhere.

On the plus side, it was considerably warmer being part of this human logjam than being outside in the seats.

We were in the same section as [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] (as he sorted our tickets - thank you) and at half time you had the 2 single entrance toilets (1 male and 1 female) both with long queues right out into the concourse, blocking entrance C out to the seats. As mentioned above the end of these queues got tangled up with the queues for the concessions, so it became almost impossible to move.

Another oddity about the ESU was the fact that unlike the WSU the roof appears to be open to elements meaning that yesterday when I was queuing for food I was getting drizzled on and the whole concourse was 'breezy'.

Probably from the same gene pool, that use their phones in the toilets......

GF confirmed 3 female toilets in ESU (where we were visiting). Queue was 15 mins (I thought she had gone home). WSU where our season tickets are has 30 female toilets. Queue is 0 seconds always.

I've said on here before, and I'll say it again... Convert some of the barely used Women's toilets into mens. It's such a bloody simple solution.... Just look at the queues for the Ladies toilets on matchdays. Yes, there aren't any. EVER.

There definitely are queues for the wome's toilets. At least there are in the north stand.

Hmmm in theory, yes absolutely. I'm wondering though if there is something in law that says that sporting venues have to give both sexes an equal amount of space.

When the north stand opened there were two lots of toilets for women, but the men were queuing back onto the concourse, so one set were converted to mens.
Women's loos are all cubicles, so they take up more space.

If it was lager, then he probably wouldn't notice if someone 'topped it up' for him...
