    Those complaining about the toilets are obviously too young to remember the joy of being desparate for a poo at the old Valley.

    I think your first attempt was better, to be honest

    Charlton Athletic version of these babes around the concourses selling programmes, jackpot tickets, beers (by backpack?) merchandise etc.

    Free Beligian biere, chocolates et frites. There has to be some benefits from having a Belgian owner.

    Food and drink is a priority.

    Used to love getting to the ground hour and half before game for a drink, food..

    ..now stay in the pub untill 2:45 because the food, drink and queue is awful.

    Other teams nearly always impress on away days.

    I don't drink anymore but surely those machines that pour a dozen pints at same time would be useful for queues.


    One of these machines might do the trick?

    Far too advanced for the Valley. Great idea though.

    There's a lot of far right around the boleyn but how can you tell they are just from the photo?

    But seriously folks:
    Engaging a decent stewarding company.
    Giving any of the catering kiosk staff any training at all - it would pay for itself many times over by allowing us to buy stuff at halftime rather than having to get it all from the competition before the match.
    Hot, even warm, water and functioning hand driers in the bogs.

    Not bothered by the turnstiles or the bogs.

    Better, local beer.
    Better, local, food.
    Better service.
    Safe standing.
    Wifi
    Smoking area.
    Smoking weed area.
    Crystal Meth area.

    Prefer real ales myself as well. Can we have a selection of badger beers instead of the flying jock?

    Exactly. How the hell do people wash their hands with one tap that goes off as soon as you stop pressing it ?

    Put some lights along Lansdowne Mews as well so you can actually see where you are going.

    Have sound on the tv's or maybe the subtitles on ? Nice that we have bigger screens now apart from the fact the picture is still the same size because of all the ads for an air con unit that I'm never going to buy.

    Have the mascots and others in the concourses before the game interacting with the kids.

    Those Hammerettes are a bit 'palace'. Having said that, blonde in the middle row looks built for it

    There'll never be a smoking area. Which is good.

    I think it will improve the air quality in the bogs which is also good
