    I am seriously disappointed that this has not been addressed. The women’s toilets in the main stand were disgusting yesterday. Clearly they are now in need of specialist cleaning, and appeared not to have been touched since the end of last season.

    Whatever system we have for cleaning is not working. I noticed the suits upstairs last week were all clean and well maintained. It is unfair and shows a lack of respect for the ordinary fans. I realise money is in short supply, but a basic necessity for any stadia is that they have well maintained and hygienically clean toilets.

    Still a few weeks to go but hopefully things will get cleaned up.. A sat in my "new" seat in the up near the back of the kop yesterday, it was fairly obvious I hadn't been used in a few year. I think I'll be taking cleaning wipes to the Cambridge game just in case

    I think perhaps that issues such as the loos were lost in the 'Ether' leading up to yesterday. I doubt (and hope !!) money had anything to do with it. But as you say - A basic necessity in a public place should not be neglected.

    The city is far more clean than it used to be, specialist cleaners have been going round jetwashing.

    The men's urinals in the back of the lower kop stink, not sure if they've ever been cleaned. They were rank yesterday.

    Send a Tweet to the Bradford Bid team that are going round and using high powered cleaning tools to clean the streets up.. Never know they may do it for the club

    What a great impression for any potential new fans that came yesterday. This isn’t the first time these things has been mentioned. It really isn’t good enough. It would be nice to think someone would come in and sort this sort of stuff out.....

    It's not sarcasm, I'm being totally genuine.. I've actually just done it for you.

    They're disgusting and I genuinely feel sorry for any woman/girl who has to use the facilities at any football ground

    Great idea, as a local business smack bang in the city centre I think some kind of partnership with the Bradford Bid guys would be wonderful. @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler @Glenn Ackroyd@Glenn Ackroyd maybe worth putting a couple of feelers out and seeing if anything can be done if you haven't already spoken to them?

    And these are the 'little things' that make a whole difference, RT.
    It's OK wanting to make the afternoon longer and 'special' as a matchday experience ........... But let's get the basics in place too, to encourage the footfall.

    Totally agree. Was in the lower main stand yesterday and one of the troughs looked like it had not been cleaned since last season. Only needs a few of those sanitary blocks put in to keep away the smell.

    Thank you.
    Who are the Bradford Bid? Will they do it for free?

    If you search for them on Twitter you will see videos of the excellent work they have been doing around the City. Trying to clean up the place..

    Just like the PA system on another thread the toilets at VP have been disgusting for years. It's a sure sign of a failing business that these things are given a low priority. I was in the suites for the beer festival and the toilets are immaculate up there. Once again, it seems, the poor ordinary fan gets a raw deal. It's long overdue for all aspects of stadium hygiene and cleanliness to be thoroughly addressed and improved. If anyone asked me I would willingly and freely point out areas in need of attention. Things are clearly moving on the pitch, but off it we're as useless as ever. Out PR remains hopeless. The website is a complete mess. I genuinely don't know why the club doesn't consult the fans on issues such as these that rile so many people. It would cost so little to put so much right.
