Without getting sucked into yet another anti/Pro board type debate I'd simply say a hut full of xboxes a bad idea, but during Summer months at least could have fun activities in the corners like giant inflatable slides, those giant hamster ball things, on the pitch completions, penalties etc etc. Advertise it and get families in earlier where they spending money inside the ground (shame a lot of that goes to contracted burgervans etc though).

I remember during bill carr's reign we had similar, bungee jumps in the corners etc.

Most of all with it being a horrendous 20 or 22 quid a ticket the most important thing is to keep the offers on for kids and banging the drum in media. I go with my two boys and to be fair the fiver accompanied junior price softens the blow on the high adult price, but things like kids go free are very welcome -always end up spending on them in the ground anyway.

Encourage them in, get them hooked for the future.

To be honest I'm ALWAYS late or cutting it very fine so have no idea on the state of pre match entertainment nowadays. Back during Bill Carr's reign I used to like being one of the first in the ground and watching it gradually filling up around me and all the goings on, players training etc.

I used to get in early to climb over the gate at the front of the Pontoon to save 6d.
