Didn't get in fanzone,when I went down,2pm and queue to get in,letting some out then some in. Sounds about right for this club,having a fanzone that doesn't fit fans in it, |

I went to the fan park yesterday, I'll be honest, it's not my cup of tea. Club should invest in either the gas club or ropewalk because it's crap standing in a car park suppin ale out of a plastic cup. Your right about the prices too. They had price lists printed on paper on the bars advertising the wrong prices, double what they actually were. Of course it will have deterred people from buying. If your having a sale and doing a really good offer then advertise it and shout about it Prefer going into town before/after games and drinking in a couple of different pubs each week, spreads the money around and helps with the 'community' aspect of the Town and football club supporting one another. Did like the stuff they put on for children though. Face painting, balloon making, flags and all for free! The youngsters enjoyed themselves despite the scoreline but they aren't interested in the stuff that really matters this time of year and thats league status. The balloon man was quite a character, spoke to him quite a lot, he actually came from Chorley and a Chorley fc fan, his wife did the face painting, brings back happier memories of watching Town performances those days!! Apparently the old fitness centre is going to be converted along with Legends bar into a supporters bar (swimming pool staying put) Great if its the case , but a shame it will be in League One and numbers attending games will be massively down. |

That would be great if it happened, it's not over yet, Saturday is just massive, Brum fans are in the same mindset as our lot it will be a nervy day to say the least. |

Although it was advertised on the website, it wasn’t clear today that the small fan zone bar was offering half price booze. The prices hadn’t been updated so they were all shown as full price which may have put some people off, as might the weather. Probably for the best as there was only one person pulling drinks and it took a long time to get served. Can’t knock the club for trying this but if they’re gonna do this again, they need more staff. That’s not correct at all. At all times there were 4 people serving. 2 pulling pints and 2 taking payments. The queue looked big but moved down very quickly. The staff were excellent and did a great job. I was near the ticket office so maybe you were in a different fan zone to us or you drank so much half price booze that you were seeing double. 😉 There was one guy taking payments and one woman pulling pints. Both excellent, both doing a great job but only two of them. |

What was wrong with the weather yesterday? Everyone knows that being in Hudds is like being in the med. Bright sunshine, clear blue skies etc. A rare day on Saturday that was over cast and cooler. |

For the elderly or disabled its quite a trek. There should really be discretionary rates available for the elderly, unemployed, disabled etc I don’t know if this happens already?
Need to improve the transport infrastructure. Been quite a few times this season I've decided not to bother because the local stopping train for a night match has been cancelled and the local stopping bus takes over an hour to get to the ground. Like really? There doesn’t even seem to be any urgency forethought or priority anymore that there is a match on and people need to be able to get there?
Bring back trolley buses!
Don’t mind selling cheap standing areas behind each goal on a match day but I’d rather be able to have a piss, a decent reasonably priced pie and a pint at halftime without breaking the bank and getting rained on all match and would be prepared to pay a bit more for that.

Once we are down, boo all you like, I’ll join in. Like you say what difference does it make. |

I doubt anyone's going to be booing if we're winning so I don't really follow the point. If we're 1-0 or 2-0 down, it's game over - stats over the past decade pretty much confirm it. |

Given the Wednesday result Saturday feels like it will not matter and as such I think there will be a low turnout and I think it will turn nasty fairly early on. I’m guessing no one will dare a lap of honour at full time!!!!

I once saw a Lee Clark side booed off at half-time when we were winning! |

www.efl.com/governance/regulations/Under the Regulations should any Club wish to offer promotions or discounts they must either (a) offer the discount or special promotion on a similar basis to visiting supporters or (b) seek the permission of the visiting club to run the promotion for home fans only. So - since Swansea tickets are on sale at £25, and Birmingham have already sold out at £25...we can't offer discounts UNLESS approved by them. Pretty sure last season (or one before) against Swansea we lowered the ticket prices a few days before the game & refunded the Jacks fans who had already purchased them.......Bit late in the day now & you wouldn't do it for a team who's away allocation is sold out. You are (or were) allowed 2 special promotions per season which aren’t affected by away fan price. No idea if these have been used. |

I once saw a Lee Clark side booed off at half-time when we were winning! He probably had Rhodes on the bench and we’d spaffed 4 chances to get the second goal. Second half they’d come into it more and get a late equaliser….& repeat. Come to think of it, It was probably me booing. We kept him longer than Moore. |
