Today's Blundell Park experience feedback?

Never eat at the match but more seemed to than ever today, long May it continue…

Is there any plans to put a temporary roof/tarpaulin over the fanzone come winter? Can’t see many using it come those rainy/cold months…

I know we’ve been locked up by the government for months so no doubt that helped the atmosphere but in truth there was a buzz around the club and it was because of many things…was good to see and new faces, new season ticket faces too…

It stops her. She’ll manage a glass of wine and that’s it.

I've always been a fan of forward planning. Offer her a small glass, mentioned the effect it might have on her, and have the rest of the bottle yourself.

Very positive experience generally. Remember a similar  vibe first day of Jolleys second season only to be beaten 4-1 by Forest Green so nice to get the performance to back up the optimism this season!

Slight negatives, or shall we say constructive feedback...

Not sure why the queue to get into the Upper Findus was guided into the car park. Had to dodge random traffic cones and moving cars. One old man even fell over one of the cones and took a nasty looking fall. Seemed needless. Then when leaving another man tripped and fell when leaving in exact same position. Stewards seemed new / inexperienced. Maybe to be expected.

Also can’t help thinking the area inside the turnstiles for the upper findus / mariners trust bar needs a re think. Could barely get through the turnstile for people congregating in there. There is a table selling bottled ales in there (big fan used it many times) but it’s literally right as you go in on the left and the queue blocks people
Coming through the turnstiles? Then you hit the queue for the snack bar. Then you hit the queue to get in the mariners trust bar which is always mixed in with the queue to get up the stairs to seating or the toilets on the right. Wasn’t aided yesterday by a random pile of cardboard boxes just left in the middle or the room? Has always been crowded / congested in that area for years but seemed almost dangerous yesterday. Put me off even attempting to buy anything from the kiosk or bar

Perhaps if they knocked through to the trust bar and had that whole area open it would create more space?

And then as most have commented, PA system was non existent in the upper findus.

Don’t get me wrong, very minor points and on the whole the afternoon was a great experience. Rome wasn’t built in a day and all that. That goes for one and off the pitch of course.

    Please sort the PA system out, the main stand at the osmond end didn't have a clue what was going on although when the ground went quiet we could hear. I don't want the ground to ever go quiet.

   Sorry didn't see the posts already my apologies.

Always a bonus…any of them there, being big town fans and that, you’d think they’d be there first game of the season…

We got there about 2.15 and I noticed this smiley blond lady out and about in the upper just going around talking to people I though she was a supporter but didn't recognise her, then I realised it was Debbie the new chief exec, that for me underlines the new regime. I also like Jason Stockwood's bit in the programme, very simple welcome back and thank you.    

Maybe need an option for say beast burger to have maybe two catering vans the ques for these near pontoon was stupid maybe if they had in each corner would be better, the amount of fans that was trying to get there from different stands and getting turned away by the stewards

In one way it's a shame The Leech wasn't there to see what a difference the new regime and their approach has made to the BP experience. Then again I don't want that to see that parasite within a hundred miles of the club.
