Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 4 January, 2018 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintMB Posted 4 January, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 4 January, 2018 Share 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.

angelman Posted 4 January, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
