Sorry if this is already repeated.

Is the club going to make some sort of announcement or ring a bell like the theatre when the 2nd half is about to start?

Being in the queue for food and drink, I didn’t know that the 2nd half had started. It is very noisy on the concourse

Or maybe have some of the TV's showing the players coming out for the 2nd half.

Why should they ? We never have done in the past, it's up to the individual to get back to their seat in time for the second half. Sorry, much as I dislike the expression but you have made a truly 'JCL' post

1, Half time whistle goes = look at watch / phone / ipod / mates watch for the time and make a mental note. Write it down if need be !

2, Enjoy half time but be aware a game is to recommence 15 mins after action 1 and this can't be viewed from the concourse

3, Return to seat 15 mins after action 1


I can write one out for getting dressed in the morning if you want ?

Nonsense. In the past we didn't have a ground where it's so easy to lose track of what's happening in the arena itself. The concourses and the lounges are very isolated in terms of noise from what's happening and while queuing for drinks/loos/food, it's easy to lose track.

Part of the attraction of having a new stadium and one was finished to a high standard is that it has other facilities people want to use, bringing valuable revenue for the club.

I'm sure some people will still want to stubbornly sit in their seat from 1430 to 1755 ignoring all distractions but quite why they get so uptight about those who want make more use of the excellent facilities, I fail to understand.

They are very obviously going to encourage people back to their seats - the on-screen graphic on the WSU concourse screens at full-time is clearly going to be part of that encouragement. I took a photo of that which I'll post later.

I expect it's a further thing which will have improved for this coming Saturday.

Will they be showing the game on CCTV on the concourses like they do at Millwall amongst other places? If so that should suffice.

and of course no one at the club would want to encourage a rush by supporters to get to their seats all at the same time. that would be dangerous...........
