The Albion Roar - 20 Apr

[The Large One]

This week's Roar features guests Martin Perry and Richard Hebberd.

Anyone got any questions for them?

Fire away.

 

[Buzzer]

Genuine question and not intending to catch anyone out here.

When a fan is suspected of doing something at the Amex worthy of a banning, what is the procedure undertaken? Is there a right of reply from the fan prior to the banning order? Is there an internal appeals committee? Is the initial decision made by a single person or by a panel as with a magistrate's court?

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Mrs T - made Britain great, or made Britain grate ?

 

[Everest]

Ask MP when will I be able to take my panoramic photos from the centre circle that he said I could?
Still waiting nearly 2 years on.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Will DS and Youth Squad matches be played at the new Lancing Training ground and will stands be open to spectators ?

And what do we call it - Lancing ? New Monks Farm ? Mash Barn Lane ?

Or will they be looking to make money by flogging the naming rights?

 

[Bwian]

Why are there so many stewards at the Uni Car Parks? 3 or 4 on the road entrance point, 3 or 4 per car park and a few more dotted about in various doorways and corners seems a tad excessive and expensive. Does it really need 4 people to tell drivers there are spaces or to man the entrances once each car park is full?

We are told the club is losing money despite record crowds, reducing the money spent on stewards that are not needed would be a small step in helping to bring costs down.

 

[Beach Hut]

How much did his syrup cost

 

[Superphil]

If there was a smashing new massive flag, paid for by the fans, would the club be able to offer assitance for storage and logistics on matchdays?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

What's the future of Bennetts Field, once the temporary planning permission runs out?

[MENTION=31]El Presidente[/MENTION] answered that one a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Any news on the promised additional Park and Ride site?

Much needed to help relieve the always full Mill Road.

We have the same Transport Plans/System now for crowds of 28k (and rising) as we did for 20/22k

Ask either of them if they have ever used any of the Park and Rides?

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

What's the future of Bennetts Field, once the temporary planning permission runs out?

Naughty!

@El Presidente answered that one a couple of weeks ago.

Didn't see that-sorry.

 

[Weststander]

MP - Why is the ESU designed so that either end there are viewing platforms and windows to rooms, rather than the tier of blue seats being extended all the way to the ends.

 

[The Large One]

Didn't see that-sorry.

You wouldn't have seen it - you'd have heard it.

 

[Bwian]

You wouldn't have seen it - you'd have heard it.

So what was the outcome?

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

So what was the outcome?

They over-provided initially - that is what security people like to do. As it settles down they will feel confident they can reduce numbers.

Thanks. Does raise the question of how long they need to settle down? It has been 2 years now.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

What do they feel about the homophobic issue hanging over the club and does Hebbard think they have done enough to address it ?
