What ideas do you have, that could be implemented in a new stadium, that could set us apart from everyone else, and have impact? I would like at least one side of the ground be "free seating" where if you buy a ticket or have a season ticket you aren't tied to one particular seat. That way you and your mates can still buy season tickets/pay on the day and still be able to congregate together. I would also like to see us try to tap into some of the large organisations in Bristol, by maybe offering certain matches as offers to the orgs employees, try to tap into MoD >10000 people, UWE>35000 Bristol Uni >30000 HP, BAE, Airbus etc etc Any others? When UWE plans were first announced, I spoke to the fans directors of that time and said the same thing. Like many clubs, we are so ingrained with the terrace culture. What I mean by that is the freedom to move around, speak to friends, take mates along who can only go occasionally, walk in and find someone you haven't seen for a while and either stand with them or invite them to where you usually go. we need the seating equivalent, otherwise the match day experience of many of us could be spoilt a bit. Unreserved blocks are the answer. You by a general access season ticket or match ticket for an unreserved block or blocks. Some concerts at the Colston Hall work this way. You buy a tick for general access to the stalls and either stand on the floor down by the stage or pick a seat back on the incline. we must campaign hard for unreserved blocks and make sure our fans directors argue for this. I would hope Wael will understand.

Have a bar open serving food, Sky Sports, on a Friday night. Plus, I'd still like to buy a prick (Hugo, leave it). Fixed

I just hope that when they design the seating that they buy seats wide enough for large people such as me, this also impacts thin people as if they have a large person sat next to them, in small seats, they (Inc me) tend to spill over to the seat next door, like what happeneds on budget airlines. As a " larger arsed " person, I 100% agree with this

You mean have a Fat Bloke Section somewhere in the stadium? How dare you sir, discrimination discrimination tut tut nobby, even fat people have feelings. Besides I could lose weight but if your ugly then ugly you will always be.

Nobby would never discriminate....

The free seating thing... I would imagine that we are going to struggle to sell 20,000 STs. Therefore, just get a ST, once you have established with a new set of mates and you've decided that you want to spend your Saturday afternoons together..transfer your allocated seats to a block. Most airlines and cinemas allow seats to be chosen from a layout graphic when booking online. I don't see any reason why season ticket holders cannot change their seats when booking additional seats for friends or for any reason. Any new stadium nowadays should have such an online booking system.

I would hope Wael will understand. Back in the day these tickets were simply called "Ground" There should be no reason that these cannot be implemented but for games that sell out or are close to selling out (say within 10% of a sell out) it would have to be well stewarded to make sure all seats were used. Otherwise you have a situation like we had at Home Park this season where people stand because they cant find a seat but there were plenty of seats available.
A big end of terracing would be brilliant but progress still needs to be made on bringing these back in our top stadiums. It will happen though sooner or later.

Large crèche facilities (free or cheap) so we can encourage young families and an integral restaurant (the Ray Kendall bar?).
