Fans survey

Quoted from forza ivano

Funny how Filipe has changed his tune since Phillip somehow managed to retain his place on the board


just saying......

Has anyone ever seen Filipe and Phillip in the same room?

Has anyone ever seen Filipe and Phillip in the same room?

Does anyone want to?

They should of added a 3rd one, Fenty the Fillet

But didn't JF explain to us why it was not feasible to have fish and chips on the menu at the ground, despite them being available for the corporate lot in the Upper? Another example of the regular fans being short changed because they couldn't be arsed to sort it.

Not sure what the food stalls are going to be selling in the fan zone as yet but you can bet it will be better than the crap on offer at the moment, Think there is going to be "street food" of various types.

I do know the bar will be run by Docks Beers in the fan zone.

I'm not sure about this. Are we confident that the quality of Haddock and Chips (with mushy peas for me) can be maintained from the food outlets that could be accommodated in any Blundell Park fan zone. GTFC cannot be seen to be associated with second-rate Haddock. Whereas locally produced Lincolnshire sausage is easy - grill and keep warm - serve with onion and a wholemeal bap - a fine pre-match snack to go with a pint of Batemans...(I would prefer properly poured Dublin Guinness in a glass but clearly not going to happen in any Blundell Park Fan Zone)

You had me until you mentioned wholemeal bap. If your gonna treat yourself then I wouldn’t be going for wholemeal!!

Might be healthier but the fatty sausage and fried onions would suggest health isn’t top of the agenda 🙂

We won't pack the park cos we love the owners . Only a winning team will do that  after the initial euphoria  dies down .

Completed the survey last night, definitely spent a fair amount of time on it, especially with some of the answers.

If we are as expected going to stay at Blundell Park for the foreseeable future, then the matchday experience definitely needs improving and i’m pleased to see the board addressing this. It’s just some of the minor things that’d make it so much more enjoyable to go watch a game. Why can’t we have food that’s comparable to the food at say Kidderminster? Why can’t we have decent alcohol and drinks options? Docks Beers are clearly up for some sort of deal with the club. Again Docks beers does this well with the food options having had different food options over time, I’m sure local food companies would be happy to strike up a deal. The other more basic facilities such as the toilets definitely need improving. The PA is another that needs improving too.

I’m not wanting or expecting improvements to the stadium or capacity, this would be an unnecessary cost, but the other things I’ve mentioned are areas that could be fairly easily altered in my opinion.

I think that remains to be seen. Season ticket prices and what players we sign will have a bearing.

I also know of 2 or 3 lapsed fans who will be returning and suspect there are many more, but ultimately, we need to get winning games regularly and it would help if we had a decent cup run.

I actually mentioned Kidderminster in my survey. My brother in law and I used to meet for midland games occasionally and we picked Kiddy purely on the reputation for food. (we weren't disappointed)
I want GTFC to use it's position as a professional sports team to help less fortunate people enhance their health and wellbeing. Get into schools and start early.
First thing on the list is good entertaining football, because as others have said the matchday experience will soon lose its attraction if the team are pants

Some fantastic ideas posted on this forum. There are many comments regarding encouraging children to be involved which should be high on the list.  Get them interested and the club will have a fan for life, I know as I became a fan in 1941 when the Mariners played their games in Scunthorpe and am still a fervent fan and would`nt  have it any other way. Sadly I live too far away to be part of the exciting revival. Good luck to all involved,
