Matchday experience

[Fan of Big Tone]

How do you feel the match day experience could be improved?

Can anyone remember the half time relay race, where kids would run round the pitch in a relay fashion, Notts supporters would take on opposition supporters, I thought it used to be great fun the crowd would get cheering them on and the kids looked as if they loved it, I wonder why they stopped it? Probably something to do with Health and Safety.

How would you improve the match day experience?

there is not much that needs doing but i do feel ah needs to take his son out of the headlights because some of the comments about him is a joke.

its not productive or helpful.

I think pre-match there should be something happening, they just play music and put out the same old announcements. Half time now is okay, the local schools should be playing. Do they still do this? I can't say I have seen it this season.

Not sure on this one what Notts do on our match day is Whsts done at other grounds I’ve seen. 

Some pre music like at city ground revs up the ground and players. That maybe good a few more family things for parents and children.

Not much to do to be honest. It's got better. Glad to see, since Hardy came in, that we changed the music on matchday

I'm quite happy with things now.

The build up is standard but enjoyable to watch, I mean I'm busy and I do things before, during and after the game - there's not a lot more that I would notice but I am perfectly content with things as to how they're now.

I go to watch the game so I am not bothered about any of the matchday experiences, I do think it helps but from a personal view I just have limited interest in it.

Interesting to see the difference under Alan Hardy compared to the last owners, there seems to be less demand for improvement. This either suggests Hardy is more hands on or fans have grown content with what is on offer.

I think the club needs to do things to engage with young fans, do give aways and involve the younger supporters in contests.

The George thing doesn't have to be the only entertainment, they could easily do drills and coaching sessions for young fans and I feel aiming for this could make connections for a life time.

They actually do a lot of good things in the family stand for kids, they do ball skills, petting animals, magicians, balloon animals, when I took my two grandsons the youngest got to hold a tarantula but he’s frightened of Mr. magpie

I am too busy thinking about the game to be bothered about being entertained pre match or at half time. I presume there will be entertainment in the family stand for the kids.

My gripe is not the pre-match/half time experience and can only talk about the Kop, the catering on offer really does need to improve, endless queues for beer and food which more often than not is lukewarm and I will never go for a sausage roll again as the last one was almost 1/3rd gristle this alone spoils my matchday experience. Limited available space may be the biggest obstacle

The catering is getting worse IMO.

There needs to be more investment and more options with the food provided. Even the drinks taste funny, which I believe is down to the way the items are stored. I no longer purchase food from the club directly. I eat before or after games depending and this loses the club easily an extra £20.
