    The general hygiene at VP leaves a lot to be desired. I went into the ladies and visited three cubicles before I found a clean one. It looks like they have a blockage problem, as the other half said whatever men pee in was full. Then I went to my seat put tried to put my jacket on the back of the chair but it was covered in dust and cobwebs.

    The club need to get their act together, these are basics not luxury. They have had plenty of time to address. I shouldn’t have to bring wet wipes to clean my seat; £600 plus and rising.

    I realise that the catering is trying to fulfil all different tastes, but what they are offering is UPF’s and nothing healthy. They are charging a lot for preprepared food. I suppose the majority are satisfied. So I will bring my own as a lot of ppl do. Revenue missed opportunity.

    One of the cubicle in the gents in the 2013 suite, or whatever it is called now was leaking all over the floor. My lad refused to drop his trousers incase he got them wet.

    in the gents in the McCall/Hendrie there was a strip of wood with half a dozen nails stuck in it just leaning on the wall that I moved so kids didn’t catch themself on it.

    these are in areas that are in constant use throughout the year as well so no excuse that it was the first match

    First World problems. Try using the bog in the Rose & Crown.

    and the PA system is still inaudible in the upper kop. I assume the fellow interviewed at HT was Dean Windass but I haven't got a scooby what he had to say.

    Nope, and you wouldn’t see me there again either.

    The point I want to make and it is this, if you can’t be bothered with the basic comfort of your customers/fans what chance the more challenging aspects of delivering your ambitions, they can call me a moaner all they like, but this is basic hygiene and welfare of the fans. Like allowing the caterers to serve half cooked food!

    Windass is pretty much inaudible at the best of times

    Copied from another thread I posted in yesterday:

    How about a tiny bit of minuscule investment in the upper main stand (can't speak for any other areas of the ground) with regards to the railings, stairways, piping, toilets, kiosks, etc. They all need fresh paint and they're filled with rot, damp, scratched/faded colouring, moss, etc - it's a pretty grim environment to be around.

    What is it with the PA system at Valley Parade it's been absolutely useless for years.
    The only time it's audible is when they shout "Will the Green team leader contact the control room".

    You get free bird muck on your seats in the lower tier of the kop.

    I find it pretty hard to fathom that a sound system can be that shit in 2024.

    I doubt I could find another venue anywhere in Bradford with a sound system that bad. From the lowliest pub to the tiniest football club (and I visited a few in preseason), we blow them out of the water (AND ANOTHER THING lol)

    Hush. If they find out, they'll start charging you for it!

    sounds like the stadium ownership is not doing proper upkeep....maybe they should consider selling it to the club for 1 pound so the burden of upkeep is no longer a problem for them....

    While I fully appreciate we have some utterly vulgar fans that arent potty trained, there still needs to be something done in the mens toilets. They are absolutely disgusting. A quick clean after match day wouldnt go a miss.

    As for the seats, good luck with having a clean seat not covered in filth or bird shite. They are only cleaned when the club begs fans to go down and clean them for free.

    They have your money though so you just gotta accept it. Clearly Sparks doesnt give a shite.

    Tenants are responsible for maintenance on a commercial let.

    depending on the lease the ground may have to be in the same standard at the end of the lease as at the start, at the cost of the tenant, so we could be stuck with a huge bill if we decide to leave
