Stadium Matchday Upgrade

[Linden Jones' Tash]

Inventive solution to the issue of empty hand sanitizer dispensers in the ED Stand toilets.....


Hand sanitizer dispensers have been removed....

Hhhmmmmmm.....

Took a kid to his first game on Saturday. Club initiative to hand out a goody bag to new supporters was brilliant and not just a token gesture of some Haribo's and sticker.
Well done to the club, credit where it is due.

[Whore Jackie]

Got to say I didn't see any difference in the SJM Stand or Fanzone area. All of the food and drink places looked the same. And that old East Stand ticket office isn't changing into a bar anytime soon.

When RC was answering questions I rolled up and he stuck a mic in my face, I asked when they were going to sort (the) WI-Fi out, that caused a fair bit of laughing in the crowd because I`m sure many of them thought I was talking Kelvin.
Luckily Rob gave a detailed explanation, not a quick fix though apparently.

Supporters attending Saturday's match will notice a marked improvement in the quality and clarity of audio played around the stadium, as the club unveils phase one of the audio upgrade.

Working alongside Landways, phase one goes live this weekend, where fans can expect clearer, louder matchday sound. More upgrades coming soon...

Big screen and DJ , either side of Coppell's Q&A, on the Purple Turtle stage in the fanzone too.

[Royal Ginger]

Think they may have knocked the input cable out in the Dolan during the upgrade.

Edit. Someone plugged it in.

East Stand Ticket Office Bar has now opened.

[RoyalBlue]

Yeah, pisses me off as well.

They do it, but about 20 minutes before the game when no one is there

It's actually informative for the home fans too, knowing who the opponents are.
Appreciate they may continue to read them out a bit faster than they do the home team where they leave room for a cheer or applause.

Maybe they could acknowledge former Royals at this time, you never know it might get in their heads a bit too and we may be gifted with an Ady Williams style own goal.

Another potential prize draw for Season Ticket Holders - winner gets to read the team sheets out. Could be some interesting pronunciation going on!

Listen! Would struggle to be more interesting than some of those Mick and Tim come out with!

Noticed a new speaker set up in front f the West Stand. Must admit a few of us did have a laugh at abut 2:45 when there was an announcement on the new PA system
It went something like this: Weeee are hiss todays ss welllllllcome hisss craaaaking pfffatt ssqqqquueeeeeakkk kaapffft

[Dave the rave]

Didn't notice much different to be honest. Apart from downgrades.
Massive queue for the outside bar. Stood in it for 10 mins before giving up and going inside. Beer choice inside very limited. No ales but John Smiths available
Toilets look the same, sound sounds the same, screen looks the same.
Tom Petty gets the thumbs up from me though.
DJ sounded good outside but no-one was interested when I was there.

In all honesty I'm there to watch the game and have a beer or two so there's not much to upgrade as far as I'm concerned. Just get the basics right.

Also, £4.50 for a below par sausage roll.

Had to laugh when getting an E-mail Monday asking what it would take to 'bring me back' as I'd not been for a while.
Er, I was there Saturday...and this from the 'Head of CRM'

Got told today the pyros have cost the club 40k

4k a games. We have them for the next 9 games.

What a waste of money

Sadly it’s an American thing. That sort of ephemera and glitz works stateside whereas over here, where things are more cynical, you don’t need flashy “branding” to get what you’re going to get for a show. Nice as an extra on really special occasions but really not for run of the mill games.

£40k we could have used towards a really decent player’s salary gone.

Wonder when are the cheerleaders are arriving…

Couhig said in an interview early he loved fireworks, and he does it to attract kids to the matches. Mate, if they can see the fireworks they’re already at the game, ffs.

Shouldn’t fireworks be reserved for night games?

[Clyde1998]

Only sounds like they’ve turned the speakers on in the East Stand this season. Otherwise can’t notice much of a difference around the ground.

Let our interactive AI agent tell you what you thought of the match

Well that's Tim, Mick, Adie and co out of a job then.

He even admitted as much at the Former Players' Q&A night.

Well at least there's three night games amongst those, assuming they're having them for the Wimbledon cup match. 9th match would be the Luton Thursday night game.

Got them again today by the looks of it. Hopefully it’s Couhig paying out of his own money.

[windermereROYAL]

Phone signal still shit. bloke next to me got on the wi-fi, impossible for me.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Couldn’t care less tbh, I tend to just watch the game
