    Perhaps someone on here knows this business. Surely City could do a sponsorship/partnership with the them?

    Of course we have the budget and the money for them.

    The fact is Ryan was caught on the hop with the question and responded with the first thing that came into his twitter infested brain. The issue isn't the club not having money for hand dryers, it's the amateur hour CEO who couldn't organise a pee up in the free staff bar at the Carlsberg Brewery without advertising it on twitter first.

    Probably as we wont have to pay for them.
    Fans dismiss the training facilities as not being a problem but when a player with over 450 appearances is calling you out on how poor they are then I think the problem is well worth being acknowledged.

    I can't believe some on here seem put out with people simply asking for half decent facilities. And please don't tell me fans can have a whip round for a few hand driers. Christ if we are that hard up dip into the Crankshaw money.

    They are around £70 each and £30 each to fit so £100 each but with VAT reclaimed equals around £60 each to replace, Even if we replaced say 20 it would only cost £1200, Maybe it could come out of Rupps £300k annual consultancy fee

    Constant running hot water in Covid times is an absolute necessity, never mind hand dryers.

    Sorted yet? Shame on the club if not.

    Next time Herr Rupp comes over, send him onto the Kop to have a pee.

    Constant is a bit of a waste Dave, wouldn't tap controlled be better ?

    Maybe there is a budget for that kind of thing just that it has been used already for that kind of thing.

    Can honestly say I have never had a problem with the hand driers. Is it certain areas of the ground that have some not working? or is it all the driers in the rest of the ground?

    The first "ground improvement" I can remember at our old place was early 60's when they put a corrugated iron roof over the trough behind the Chicken Run (It still emptied into the drain in Priory Road mind).

    Which area of the ground are you in? There are two dryers for the whole of the large toilet behind E Block in Main Stand. They are located in two narrow passage/walkway areas, where people queue to get into the toilets. So you have to break up the queue if it is busy to access them. They aren’t located above the basins.
    I have been to other grounds where they have a one way system entrance/exit, perhaps remodelling on that basis would work.
    The JCT stand holds just over 9,000 supporters in two tiers. So if we say they are roughly equal in size, then about 4,500 spectators on each level.
    There is a smaller toilet behind C Block, about a third of the size of the main toilet. So perhaps 3 dryers in the male toilets between say 3,800-4,000 males, in the lower tier of the JCT Main stand?
    Perhaps @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler can correct any wild inaccuracies?

    Good point General. Your troops were obviously more battle hardened than some of today's Bantam Army

    Well obviously the budget wasn't big enough. The ones in the kop are useless, end up wiping your hands on some unsuspecting good citizen.

    Usually up in the suites but also used toilets in main upper tier.
    So do the two driers behind E block work?
