Over the close season the Club are planning on doing a lot of work in the concourses around the stadium and are looking for some ideas of what fans might like to see.

We attended a sub-committee meeting of the FCC last week where we walked through the concourses around the ground to see what is there currently, and get an idea of the areas that really need some work performing on them.

NB: this does not include any work on the kiosk areas (although those in the South Stand will be completely redeveloped over the close season), as this is the resposibility of the catering partner rather than the Club. If the South Stand redevelopment proves successful then this will be rolled out throughout the ground in future. So ideas on the kiosks/catering are not needed.

To give you an example of some ideas that were thought up during the session:

- In certain areas have large pictures of fans on the walls, for example in the SK1 concourse have pictures of the Union FS displays, in L1 have a picture showing the fans doing the 'Poznan'.
- Larger TVs, also moved to better locations - i.e. away from the kiosks to avoid queuing problems.
- Large pictures of iconic goals with the accompanying commentary, for example Jamie Vardy celebrating v Man Utd with the Sky commentary 'It's eleven, it's heaven for Jamie Vardy...'

If you have any pictures that you'd like to see dotted around, any inspiration you've seen in other stadia or any other ideas you'd like to put forward please just reply in this thread. This really is an area where the Club want some input from the fans, and we will ensure that any suggestions (provided they are sensible!) get put forward.

The same question is being asked on 3 message boards, we hope to get some good ideas from all 3 sites
 
Perhaps the words to 'when you're smiling' in large print on walls?
 
Toilets where you can get in without obstructing the passage of those coming out and vv.

And isn't it about time that they started on the much talked about expansion to the ground so that occasional fans have a chance of getting a ticket?

Just this. Forget tarting up the concourse, nobody gives a damn.
 
The concourse experience is not a good one for many reasons. Turd polishing will not alter that
 
I'd like to see the lyrics of "when you're smiling" on the wall - maybe with some sort of artistic twist - i.e., written in graffiti (queue:uproar from Gwilliam!) Or something along those lines - maybe not graffiti...any suggestions?

Hieroglyphics?
 
Definitely IN OUT entrances on the toilets. Whose job is it to provide a wishlist for a desirable customer experience to the catering company? Why does the club not take catering in-house and have full control? Is it the same company that provides the non-football catering for conferences and exhibitions etc at the stadium?
 
The picture of the Poznan would be in L1, which is where they perform it, so presumably the people in that section wouldn't have a girlie hissy fit similar to that on show in here.

I'm next to the Union FS people and a big picture of all the Tifosi would look good in our concourse area.

Can we try and do something to brighten up the communist style grey concrete that surrounds every inch of the concourse? It's depressing.

The toilet layout is farcical, 2 sections of urinals in our toilet with a standard house internal door sized entry to each, whoever designed this should be made to apologise on the pitch at half time.
 
Would it be too much trouble to maybe add a few vending machines for crisps and snacks, especially in family areas. Might cut down on painful queueing time during half time etc.
