Improving the toilets in the Arthur Wait will improve the fan experience and is really just a minimum requirement if you are charging £40 plus a ticket. There are cost effective solutions that wouldn't be expensive. For example the toilets are bottlenecked as there is only one entrance/exit. Creating an additional exit would clearly help. Adding additional toilets e.g. portacabins to the far left side of the stand/the open bit, would reduce the half time stampede too. I would say the quality of the toilets is irrelevant to the players.

Originally posted by YT How do you reach that conclusion? I've just spent 26 grand on a new car but that doesn't mean I can now afford another one for over three times as much. ?? My comment is regarding improving the toilets om the AW which will cost maybe £50k, less than 0.2% of what we've spent on the academy. If you've bought a card for £26k it like saying you can no longer afford your weekly food shop. Maybe you need to re-read my original post. The fact is the AW facilities are a disgrace and can surely be rectified/partly improved regardless of the new stand build.

I noticed the Arthur was closed for the friendly coming up. Wondered if it was being slightly done up, or has it been condemned as unsafe, lost its certificate or something? It wouldn't seem out of the question. Red and Blue Army!
