What do you think the club could do to improve the way we get too the ground and the stadium experince (apart from the actual match of course)

1 - Supporter Buses to pick up from local populous areas - Charlton do this one already

2 - Swipe card season tickets to cut down the queing on entry - Rangers do this

3 - Supporters trains?

Anything else that they could do?

It seems to me that when you go to the game on a Saturday you spend most of your time waiting. One of the things that i have heard from people that don't go to football is that they couldn't give up a whole afternoon. When you think about it you do tend to spend nearly the whole day either preparing, going or coming back from the football when all it really takes to watch a game is 105 minutes +stoppages. Would we get more people intrested in coming if the bus picked you up and dropped you off outside the ground. You could swipe your card to get in and not have to wait for someone at the front of the que to get the ticket out of his book.

The buses are probably the best idea. The reason being its often awkward for other people to get there. Usually 2 buses, or walk from City Centre.

Regarding the Swipe cards, they have them at the Albion too. I used one last season, when my mate had a spare, I did laugh when he mentioned the system going down one game, and no-one could get in. One occasion i know, but still it can happen.

The other downsight is that people take longer to swipe the cards. Which way do they do it? How many attempts? You could imagine! Stick with the tear off tickets. Its less confussing for some folk.

As for trains, none go from by me.

So buses are the best! The problem is arranging route, pick-up points. Its probably not suitable for us North Birmingham citizens! We're too sparcly populated.

unfortunately matey although all these suggestions are good and valid ones the club at this moment in time will not even consider these. all they want to do at present is concentrate on staying up.

who knows maybe if we get the stadium of ourr dreams they will squeeze them in

you never know!

I was going to post "play some home games at the MCG" but some of you may view this as being a silly suggestion.

Atmosphere would be awful AB - there'd only be about 8 of you!

Have they completed the redevelopment yet?
