Steve, Thank you for your question, I would ask you and a female colleague/friend to visit the toilets in each section of the stadium at half time and be completely honest and ask yourselves “would I be happy using these facilities? and would i be happy for members of my family to use these facilities?” Only then can you understand. With total respect don’t ask others to do what you can quite easily do yourself. I respect your support and the time you put into helping our club become better 👍🏾 Equaliser, Many thanks for your constructive comment. Just to put my original comment/ question into perspective, I should have also mentioned that I did do a review of the toilet facilities at last saturday's game. Also, I did bring a female friend (Not a Gashead - YET) who was able to gain access to the Ladies facilities. The purpose of my review was to ask myself exactly the questions that you raised and then to report those comments back to the Club. I reviewed the facilities in the lead up to the game and just after halftime. Unfortunately time pressures, and the fact that I currently cannot access all areas of the Ground, meant that I couldn't get to areas like the East Stand/terrace. I was writing my "review" for the Club when, coincidentally, I saw the OP on the forum. So - having seen MTFCs OP, I took the opportunity to ask the forum for any comments that they had and I have added those comments to my report, which has now been submitted. Some of the comments have been non specific and generally fall into the "Disgusting" category. Whilst these are difficult to relay in any specific and meaningful way, the very scary thing is that some people are genuinely scared to bring their kids to the games because of the facilities. This cannot be right. I want to do everything I can do (whilst I am in a position to have a meaningful influence) to ensure that fans feel comfortable in attending games and, equally importantly, that they feel comfortable to bring their kids with them (as they represent the future gashead generations). If this issue is one that stands in the way of that, it is an issue that needs to be addressed and I welcomed the notes in the Programme advising that the Club were also trying to improve the situation. I will continue to pass any comments that you have back to the Club. My reports will not mention your names. However, I would prefer it if your comments are specific. We have done the "Disgusting" comments - I need them to be specific so that I can identify the specific areas that need improvement. Steve Lamble I think that I probably do have a title but I don't know what it is  This is not meant as a dig at you Steve in any way, but why is it that you can't access all areas of the stadium, given your role and virtual boardroom status (although I appreciate that nowadays some directors are more equal than others)? Is it a card reader/technical issue or a decision made by someone else? |

Why do you need fans to be specific, surely anybody who uses public loos knows most of the club's loos are not fit for purpose?
I assume it's not that difficult to get external contractors to inform the club what is needed to bring the loos up to a reasonable standard?

If anyone has any comments regarding the improvement (or otherwise) of the toilet facilities please would you let me know as it is something that I have been trying to monitor from the fans point of view. I can channel these back to TG. I would be grateful if you would be as specific as possible (yuck). It isn;t always the easiest of things to do, either for you describing your experiences, or for me trying to monitor them!!!! Steve Lamble Supporters Club Director They hadn't been cleaned since the last home game.Dried on puke. Nice.  We are also breaking the health and safety rules on the Thatchers. We should have at least 4 sit down toilets, maybe more depending on the Male/Female fan split. Yeah soz about that Guys. I was totally overwhelmed by the thoughts of Championship football. We are on our way to the promised land. |

Fair play to Steve for putting his head above the parapet.
Steve, if you read this...the toilets are revolting, unhygienic and are so poorly maintained and "cleaned", they encourage the dull of mind to make them even worse. On occasion, the West Enclosure toilets are like walking into a sewer.
Saying all that, it still staggers me how many folk either don't wash their hands after doing their thing, or have a cursory 2 seconds under the thermonuclear heat of the taps.

It’s been months since your post Mr Fans Director, any update on the toilet situation that you asked fans on here for their opinions? Or do we expect yet more radio silence, perhaps the club could introduce a bring a bottle scheme, or help out to mop out?

The bogs are only as bad as people make them Yeah We should all bring our own toilet brush, bleach and sanitiser and clean them ourselves. If anyone can fix the water pipes, the overflowing drains and remove the mould from the grout that would be a massive help. Regards. BRFC |
