• Any ground improvements?

Normally something to spot in the new season but does anyone know of any changes in or around the ground?

Enjoy the game UTC

Yeah, it will be full.

I bet it won’t be.

Usually ST holders on holiday so whilst it may be a sell out, I’m not sure it will be full

Posted: **Sat Aug 06, 2022 10:05 pm**

San Miguel on tap- that was the only change I spotted.

Posted: **Sat Aug 06, 2022 10:09 pm**

Sold out of pies by ht in the Longside Upper, so no change there then!

Posted: **Sat Aug 06, 2022 10:14 pm**

Seat share seems to be a new initiative they've introduced this season

Posted: **Sat Aug 06, 2022 10:18 pm**

The fenced off section on the Longside carpark was much smaller which was great for the flow of fans.

The Sam Miguel that had been pre poured and topped up was awful.

Posted: **Sat Aug 06, 2022 10:22 pm**

The new magnetic grass to keep the ball on the floor is a great addition, far easier to spot with my eye sight than when it was constantly in the sky.

Hope we keep it

Posted: **Sat Aug 06, 2022 10:23 pm**

Still can’t hear the tannoy. Stewards blocking the view as well.

Posted: **Sat Aug 06, 2022 11:06 pm**

Tannoy in JMU is the worst its been for a long time

No Sky wagons, loads more room.

Posted: **Sat Aug 06, 2022 11:23 pm**

Tannoy in JHU non existent, WiFi seems to be even worse than last season. Electronic signage outside looked good.

Posted: **Sun Aug 07, 2022 9:36 am**

I got to the ground at 2.35pm. They'd already run out of programmes.
Agree with comments re tannoy. You couldn't hear it at the top of the JHU.
It would be helpful if the electronic screens showed a list of the substitutes as well as the starting lineups.

Posted: **Sun Aug 07, 2022 9:38 am**

Less advertising around the ground on the electronic screens due to no premier League sponsorship

Was a terrific picture on my new 85 inch TV, One thing I noticed was the picture was alot better.

Posted: **Sun Aug 07, 2022 9:46 am**

Fanzone gone downhill as no Bowland beer anymore, just the normal cat pi$$ now.

Are you surprised at that?
When ever I pay for a beer anywhere I want it poured in front of me and not sitting around for twenty minutes going flat....

Didn’t realise we had Wi-Fi available?

Posted: **Sun Aug 07, 2022 9:56 am**

Noticed we had sky results on the TV screens at HT that's loads better than having to keep watching highlights of the 1st half

I didn't buy the beers, just watched on in horror from a distance as she grabbed a lifeless beer from the shelf.

I later found out it was £5.50 a pint for good measure.

Can’t hear a thing from the Tannoy in the JHL, mind you it’s been like that for years. Don’t want it louder just clearer. Also I can’t read the h/t results on the screen with the new graphics they use.

Big screens are useless now it’s just ads and live action again rather than the lineups. The one opposite the JHU is too small to read anything anyway

My experience. Same time arrival.

I would add that the claret background and blue writing makes it impossible to read the half time scores, which were inaudible in Longside Upper.

£5.50 for San Miguel.

That’s dearer than it is in Spain.

Posted: **Sun Aug 07, 2022 3:33 pm**

I think the fanzone is a great addition. No frills, but for 90% of the season it’s going to be better than standing in a car park getting wet.

Yeah, that’s like walking into a pub and saying ‘it’s alright, there’s no decent lager but they’ve got Carling”

Catpi$$. Need to get a partnership with a decent local brewery.

^^^^^^ This

Why is it so difficult to fix the PA system?

Also I didn’t realise Turf Moor had a nuclear oven for the pies.

I saw a number of those pies

I think they were left over and switched on since the Newcastle game

£5.50 for a pint of flat dishwater,can people not go 90 minutes without a beer,some people have way way to much money paying that for that.

cost of living crisis...humbug

Posted: **Mon Aug 08, 2022 8:50 am**

Just seen the prices of a 500ml bottle of coke at West Ham

£4.50....this can't go on ...can it?

£7.60 for a pint of Lager...will never again complain about the price of a Twix on the Turf.

Wow West Spam know how to charge. Mind you they have to pay for their new signing.

Thats because of the sugar tax where they have to charge more for drinks like coke.

Posted: **Mon Aug 08, 2022 12:48 pm**

Bandwidth on O2 4G an issue for anyone else? Was connected but no internet throughout the game.

No sugar in water but it's over £3 because it's smart.

There is warm water in the longside loos too (probably been requested by the resident columbian marching powder users to wash their faces after a short snort)

Posted: **Mon Aug 08, 2022 1:02 pm**

Does anyone know why they put a little fence up after the match outside the corner of the Jimmy Mac and the Longside? It was in everyone's way which to me seems like a bad thing.

There was a man being very mean to a steward about it and I think he was right although he didn't need to swear so much

I've recently switched from Lebara (Vodaphone) to Lyca (O2), i couldn't use the internet at all on Saturday.

Posted: **Mon Aug 08, 2022 6:11 pm**

Giff Gaff mobile (runs on O2 network) with no signal whatsoever, I sit just in front of the media in the longside and I think they had working phones, I’ll have to ask what network they are on!
