I hadn't noticedthe weeds, but ultimately cutting corners on getting these little things sorted will prove a false economy. Toilet facilities are hopeless for the size of crowds we now get. What happened to the portaloos? For several seasons now I don't drink before home games because it's too inconvenient to have to use the toilets during the match. There are far too may broken seats in the stand, which means the seating capacity is lower than it could be; I'm sure a lot of people, especially those with young children find it difficult to get a good view from elsewhere.
Whilst the overall average attendances keep rising I can't help wondering how many people who've been to a number of games during the past three years or so have drifted away again due to inadequate facilities, but we haven't really noticed because other newcomers have turned up to replace them. I know there's no scope for major improvements to be made to the ground given the redevelopment proposals, but putting in extra toilet facilities, making basic repairs instead of allowing the place to look shabby and tatty, or even a temporary stand beyond the main stand could help sustain the growth in our crowds, and not to do so could well be a false economy.
