I emailed the 'fancomplaints' address regarding the tannoy volume.

I've just had a reply to say that my comments will be passed on to the PA people

Hopefully not orally, just after the half time or full time whistles.

They refused to lower the volume but agreed to play Tangerine Dream after Hi Ho Silver Lining, so UKR was happy enough.

Villa Mole, that’s a great idea.

We often drink in the Trinity car park bar but had a couple of pints in town in the Windsor since the WCF was on. I don’t think I’ve had a pint in Villa Park in 20 years as the experience has always been abysmal.

I’ve generally sat in K4-K5 over the past decade but that is no longer possible so was in the Holte lower, L7 yesterday. The entrance queue was slow but the toilets seemed fine. The half time queue for food and drink was crazy, despite people heading there on 35 minutes, meaning 20 minutes before half time. Apparently that wasn’t enough to get served for many. We must be turning away millions in lost F&B sales every season.
Paul, I often think about inadequate staffing and facilities at busy places. Why do businesses do that? When you have gone through the pain of setting yourself up as F&B provider than at least  make sure you have adequate serving points and required staff to get the money in and eliminate long queuing. This in turn will encourage more people to to use the facility. You are absolutely right  we must be not only turning  away those queuing but also discouraging others to leave their seats.

My mate is a club DJ and even he thought the PA system in The Holte was far too loud last Sunday.

Heck needs to "sit amongst us" for a game or two, to experience all these issues for himself to show what needs to be done. 

Anyone happy to give up their seat for "the greater good"?

Only on the basis that Heck has got a client reference so I won't get banned for giving him my stepsons season ticket.

They will be wanting extra wax putting in by the sounds of it.
