I agree Admiral ref that wasted space behind the Pop. I’ve had this discussion with my mates a few times and I’ve put it in my survey reply.

Also a big one for me even though I’m a child of the 70’s, is youth pricing. There has to my knowledge never been an incentive for the 18-23 year old fans at TUFC. A reduced price ST and reduced prices on the single ticket price would IMHO be a no brainer to attract the fans of the future. Also better pricing for families/family groups. At various away grounds when my kids were younger there were kids for a quid or free with an adult. I know we have had one offs but not a regular saver ticket scheme.

Final point, I don’t believe this survey would have been put out unless they already have some ideas they are looking to introduce or changes they want to make.

I don't know this, but has there been a reduction in price for 18-23 year olds anywhere? 18 makes you an adult - I wouldn't call that youth pricing at all. You could possibly make a case for the "kids" pricing to apply to 18 and under rather than more common under 16s, though.

Ok maybe poor choice of word as I refer to the young adults at work as youth. Young adult then. Other clubs do these not exclusively to students which also happens quite often.

Maybe the option to have a beer/fag out here would take the pressure off boots and make a better match day experience? A doorway would need to be made to the left inside the concourse though so I’m not sure how possible that is.

I think that area is a VIP car park right now, but no reason to change that up if you wanted a drinking area for popside fans. It's as much about halftime pints as it is drinks before the game. No harm in giving it a go.
