Litter bins, mural Facilities Statues / bricks Well organised Lady from Club giving directions was excellent 100% attendance initiative View great Fast service PURCHASE TICKETS JOURNEY TO GAME GROUND VICINITY CLUB SHOP FOOD & DRINK INSIDE STADIUM FAMILY FRIENDLY? OVERALL PERCEPTIONS Stewards not pro-active or engaging Web page failed Scalded by hot water No entertainment Saw several car parks that would have been closer for us Burgers very poor. Tasted like they had been prepared a while before. Vans parked outside looked better Little to make son pester Dad to come back Poor telephone experience Some bad language Didn’t feel like a family destination Could not help with parking No entertainment for kids No clear signage for parking & got lost on way to (stadium) Knew nothing of a family stand or deal Mascots did little Nothing to create ‘pester power’ Heard announcement about storm damage to Stand – perhaps occupying stewards ‘Assault course’ Litter on pitch, not tidied up @ HT Inflexible / not engaging Poor game … hence need for above ‘Assault course’ Difficult to access @ HT Long queues to get thru to TO Flat atmosphere No proactivity Fans not behind team VERY POOR FIRST IMPRESSIONS
