alpine_saint Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Could have sworn I heard echos of 'ole Rupey banging on about catering the envy of the Premier League and the radio station, in the background.... Doesnt matter who the clown is, they all end up missing the point...
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 It doesn't matter if the football is s**t, as long as we're all sitting comfortably to watch it! I'm assuming the plan would be to eventually pass on the cost of the increased customer experience to the customer too...
Hyde and Seek Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 And will it help with future Manager and Player recruitment.

Hatch Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 There I was worried about relegation. At least the bogs will have nice new paint so I can p;ss with a smile.

Doesnt matter who the clown is, they all end up missing the point... if this place is anything to go by most of our fans seem to treat football like a trip to theatre these days so is hardly a surprise the club think customer experience is so important...
Paul Chuckle Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 The FM researcher will be the only fan excited about this....
SaintMB Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 I think it is a positive thing to do and obviously it is something that takes a lot of planning. The timing of announcing it, however, is terrible. Fans don't care about that when the very possibility of relegation is looming large. Sack the manager, sign some players, climb the table.. THEN come and talk about how you're going to improve the stadium decor, not before.
Daft Kerplunk Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Heard this was only about hospitality revamp to make it ‘Champions League ready’ so nothing for the oiks.
yellow&blue Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Oh so THATS where the VVD money will be invested then.....
S-Clarke Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 There was a diagram/plan posted on here a few weeks back, it's some sort of 10 year plan to make us Champions League Ready. But it wasn't anything to do with capacity or the surrounding area, it was adding more hospitality/refurbishing the hospitality area's. Nothing the vast majority of us will notice.
davefoggy Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 if this place is anything to go by most of our fans seem to treat football like a trip to theatre these days so is hardly a surprise the club think customer experience is so important... I don't think it's too much expect paper towels to dry our hands after having a ****. We are not animals. Bloody annoys me that
Faz Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Well I’ll enjoy the new corporate facilities whatever league we’re in. The rest of you can eat cake.........
shurlock Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 The FM researcher will be the only fan excited about this.... I think it ranks just behind secretly bumping up JWP’s stats.
nta786 Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 weren't we the only club to use our £200k received by the Premier League to spend it on away fans who come to SMS rather than our own away fans who travel :lol:
Whitey Grandad Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Heard this was only about hospitality revamp to make it ‘Champions League ready’ so nothing for the oiks. Big screens so they can that the pampered privileged can watch other teams?
LGTL Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 I walk in at 2.59, stand throughout and leave bang on the final whistle. The only thing that will improve my experience is what happens on the pitch.
saintalan Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 There I was worried about relegation. At least the bogs will have nice new paint so I can p;ss with a smile. Still no paper towels at half time tho.
Micky Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Big screens so they can that the pampered privileged can watch other teams? Nope, sorry, over me. Afternoon drinkies?
Charlie Wayman Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 I don't think it's too much expect paper towels to dry our hands after having a ****. We are not animals. Bloody annoys me that Too bloody right my friend. The bogs are an Effing disgrace. Except that it doesn't rain on your head they're not that much better than the ones up at the bloody Dell. No doubt if they spruce them up a bit we'll be charged a couple of quid to go in.... +VA effing T as they will claim to be providing a service!
100%Red&White Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Champions League ready Dont they mean championship ready..... Champions-hip League ready. It's all the rage.
angelman Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 I think I have been doing it all wrong. I turn up (usually try and time it 10 mins before KO so that I can avoid an aural assault by the SFC version of "My Way") and watch the football and go home feeling depressed. BUT if I tucked into a pie, I would go home happy.
Saint_clark Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 All cynicism aside (this is poorly timed) this can only be a good thing. More interested in the talk of the new owners looking at purchasing land around the ground for development.
sotonist Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 All cynicism aside (this is poorly timed) this can only be a good thing. More interested in the talk of the new owners looking at purchasing land around the ground for development. this kind of thing went so well with portsmouth and gaydamak.
Graffito Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Too bloody right my friend. The bogs are an Effing disgrace. Except that it doesn't rain on your head they're not that much better than the ones up at the bloody Dell. No doubt if they spruce them up a bit we'll be charged a couple of quid to go in.... +VA effing T as they will claim to be providing a service! I wouldn't spend a penny in those toilets.
eurosaint Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 I don't think it's too much expect paper towels to dry our hands after having a ****. We are not animals. Bloody annoys me that I must confess that this is partly my fault as I always take an extra sheet to clean my glasses with :)
rooney Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 We lost hot water in the toilets at Chapel end when we went down before.
Katalinic Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 We lost hot water in the toilets at Chapel end when we went down before. It's an omen.
alpine_saint Posted 4 January, 2018 Author Posted 4 January, 2018 There was a diagram/plan posted on here a few weeks back Did the monkey petting zoo make the final draft ?
adrian lord Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Did the monkey petting zoo make the final draft ? No but all-weather monkey tennis courts made the cut.
hypochondriac Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Did the monkey petting zoo make the final draft ?Monkey chicken wasn't it?
Whitey Grandad Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Nope, sorry, over me. Afternoon drinkies? Well they won't be watching any Champions League out on the pitch, will they?
SKD Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 I walk in at 2.59, stand throughout and leave bang on the final whistle. The only thing that will improve my experience is what happens on the pitch. This is the Premier League.... Mr Gao couldn't give 2 ****s if you are happy or not. He's only interested in the Chinese / American tourists who come and waste a lot of money. Basically, the ones who are destroying the game. Is it frowned upon if I decide to **** Saints off and support Millwall? Can you imagine a Chinese tourist with an Ipad at The Den
once_bitterne Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Has anyone got the old Mario Licka paint picture?
Micky Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Well they won't be watching any Champions League out on the pitch, will they? Not what I meant - having read the original post numerous times, I just have no idea what you were saying (or trying to say).
Whitey Grandad Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Not what I meant - having read the original post numerous times, I just have no idea what you were saying (or trying to say). Ok, I understand, I was somewhat economical. What I was trying to imply was that the reason they would improve the VIP lounges for Champions League won’t be for watching Saints take part so all that’s left is watching others. Not really worth the trouble, let’s forget it.
Dalek2003 Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Clearly with Ipswich, Norwich and Hull having a revamp we have to keep up with future rivals.
Saint Billy Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 The Ralph statement about stsdium improvements has got to be as ill timed and disastrously comical as the first Ted Bates statue.
LGTL Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Thought we could all do with a laugh :lol: The original thread of the unveiling of that statue is still the greatest thread this forum has ever seen.
Katalinic Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 [ATTACH=CONFIG]2593[/ATTACH] Thought we could all do with a laugh :lol: The original thread of the unveiling of that statue is still the greatest thread this forum has ever seen. Agreed. Being at the unveiling must have been a real emperors new clothes moment. Loved the posts that said they'd seen it the night before and couldn't believe the likeness lol.
LGTL Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Sorry to ruin this thread, but we all need a laugh right?
austsaint Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 There I was worried about relegation. At least the bogs will have nice new paint so I can p;ss with a smile. Made me laugh...briefly. Situation isn't funny though, is it? Those Kreuger statements still have me bemused in their misreading of what's needed NOW.
