CFS facilities

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Sat Dec 08, 2018 8:40 pm

Once again a lake outside the CFS as we exited. If I wasn't 6 foot tall I'd have needed a life jacket.

It really is appauling in there at the minute.

Can't here the tannoy
Its a squeeze for refreshments
Toilets are a disgrace
Lake outside the exit, can't not wade through it.
Pitch black, and trip hazards everywhere

I hope the club seriously look into improving the facilities, as there's better in league 2.

Potential death trap , but I'm sure it's all ok for those who don't sit in there, and it's not a serious situation until a something serious happens.

If you dont like it sit in one of the newer stands.

Simple

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Sat Dec 08, 2018 8:53 pm

I may have took that option if it was advertised they'd be a lake to cross when leaving the ground if it rains, or the fact the toilets would have a shortfall in basic hand washing facilities on a regular basis.

Im fine with not being able to hear the tannoy, as long as there's no important information ever needing to be relayed.

Other than that Jim, good point well made.

You said you were packing in anyway so ride it out.

The puddles are just as bad on entering the CF stand. On complaining to a steward he said work had only just been completed on clearing the ground. Presumably trying to level it out more.
Can really do without wet trainers when it's cold.

Yeah that's the correct approach...., however what about the other 1,799 people in there?

You're BFC's dream fan, all is good do not say anything negative about the club, it's faultlessly run.

( ps when or where did I say I WAS packing it in? I most probably ain't renewing but if I'm not 100% sure yet, not sure how you can be )

On entering the JML we get free disposable raincoat and Wellies, don't you get the same in the CFS.

Oh dear we’ve gone and won a game. Have to complain about something else today? I know, an exceptional amount of rain making big puddles.

You need to either move stands or ride it out/pack it in apparently.

It's a great stand and we should appreciate they even let you sit in there for that bargain price. It's easily the best facilities I've ever come across, and the club should double the ticket prices for the privilege.

This is true, a win means all us rosey.

Ps don't watch any post match interview by SD from todays game as I'd wager my mortgage he "complained" about something... yes even though we had won, unbeleivable, the nerve if him!

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Sat Dec 08, 2018 9:12 pm

It was raining ffs and quite heavy too..
Some people come prepared for that.

At least we got 95 minutes... at the Accy match it was abandoned after 72 with the biggest crowd of the season with the "Mackems" visiting... imagine how they feel...

Stop whining 3 points gained worth a wet foot any day of the week

Where did I defend the club on the point you were making?

On the packing it in bit, I'm probably confusing you with someone else so apologies for that.

You are talking utter shite if you think I don't criticise where I think it's necessary.

Edit - I retract my apology you baby:

"I'm getting bored now , and it's my only release in life. I find myself wishing I hadn't gone on most games. There's no excitement no surprises, and hand on heart, I think if it continues I won't bother renewing. Watching Burnley is becoming a hard chore that I'm getting bored of doing every other week.
( never ever thought I'd say that )

He looks incapable of developing or changing his approach towards football."

"Season ticket holder here, and didn't even bother going on, I'm a terrible supporter.

Don't think I'm. renewing here either

I'm bored, my son's bored and the entertainment factor is at zero. The best bit about the games in recent weeks has been the full time whistle.

Good point. A few years ago we decided to paint the seats claret and blue instead of buying a midfielder.

The budget only stretches so far.

There were lakes in several places on the motorways I drive on to and from games. It’s what happens when it rains!

Maybe if the premier league make it compulsory BFV might start to give a hoot about the fans, if not, we will still be way down on a long list of priorities.

It took about 0.5 seconds to search against the word "bored" you fickle clown

tim_noone · Post by **tim_noone** » Sat Dec 08, 2018 9:33 pm

The OP is correct the facilities are terrible in there... Not much can be done about the water though tbh. On completion of the less abled stands I'm sure the cfs will be next for an upgrade.

Macca, just a shot in the dark here but I'm guessing you being called fickle and a clown is something to do with you not wanting to go on the Turf any more because we've lost a few and er, because there's a big puddle outside the CFS.

Yes sure. An independent view based on a search that took not much more than 0.5 seconds:

Fickle: changing frequently, especially as regards one's loyalties or affections

Clown: A foolish or incompetent person.

Seems appropriate.

I don't like like the bloke's cowardly disloyalty nor the pathetic whingeing about the puddle, ffs, but the CFS is a death trap. In the event, however unlikely, of a fire or similar catastrophe at half time, not many people would get out.

Could be, although I haven't ever said I'm not wanting to go on the Turf anymore because we've lost a few.
I've done full seasons of away trips where I can count on 1 hand our wins.

Other than that, I think you've got a point Eddie.

OK hang on a minute.... have you been to St James Park or the Stadium of Light ... 2 Stadia that have the away facilities that are 700 feet in the air with a narrow sigle staircase to evacuate in case of fire etc....

I think if a fire broke out in the CFS the pitch would be a reasonable escape route down the steps through the gates at the bottom pitchside....

Why don't you and MACCA bugger off to Bollewood or the Wham stadium if you don't like it

Not searched it, but if it took you 0.5 seconds you are extreamly fast at typing, and your device is lightening fast.

Eh ? I'm pretty sure you have posted something on this board about not going on any more but, either way, you have to admit that whining about a puddle outside the ground after an invaluable, hard-fought win is a bit lame.
My point about the CFS being a death trap is MY point so I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing with your comment.
No offence, but I couldn't care less whether you give up watching the lads or get your feet wet. My message board credibility is not something I'm too fussed about, tbh.

Regarding the defeats, if you go back through my posts you'll see that I have ALWAYS been confident in the team and Dyche. Unlike some on this board, I always knew it was just a matter of time before things started going for us.

It would take about £100 worth of tarmac to level the puddles out and make the water drain away.

If Andy Holt was our chairman and seen the complaints it would be fixed before the next home game.

I don't mind the basic facilites as it keeps prices down but there's no excuse for not having safe access and egress to the stadium.
