Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City 0 Sheffield Wednesday 1 | Att: 14,149 | The EFL Championship

The drop in numbers isn't just associated with the results though.
Yes, they have been awful at times & the football has been soul destroying, but the overall matchday at the stadium is horrific.
The food & drink are expensive & generally crap.
The WIFI or phone signal inside the stadium is often non existent.
There's nothing outside or inside the ground to get peoples attention and make for a good match day experience and it costs a fortune to go.
So improving the performance on the pitch is obviously a priority, but they need to get their arse's in gear & work on the match day experience to get numbers back up.

I agree with all your points. I'm proud to say I've never bought one food item in the stadium since the first match in 2005 and never will buy any of that over-priced, greasy crap. Why people queue up to be ripped off remains a mystery to me. There are plenty of alternative food outlets of all kinds near the stadium, or have something to eat before leaving the house FFS.

Peoples circumstances are different.

Maybe those people queuing have just finished work and eating at the stadium is their only option.

Each to their own, I say.

I agree, you could make the point that wherever you go for food and drink nowadays is a rip off, my view is its my money and I'll get swindled wherever I wish

Exactly.

It's all part of the experience and everyones experience is slightly different to others.

Personally I wouldn't want to take a shit in the stadium toilets. If you need to go, you need to go

Even if you did take a shit there though, it would still never be as bad as needing to take a shit at the Vetch. The Vetch toilets were frankly unshittable. It would have been marginally preferable to take the option of just soiling yourself, they were that bad.

I can honestly say I've never taken a shit in a football ground. Quite an achievement when you think about it.

We've definitely upgraded the toilets.

I hardly wanted to take a piss at the Vetch, let alone drop the kids off.

Me neither. I just know the day will come when I need to as I grow older.

Every time I see them queuing at the stadium you can tell a little part of them has died inside.

We should run a poll
Have you ever had a shit in a football stadium?
Yes
No
Can't remember...

Haha, it would be one of the more interesting poll's.

Add a fourth option.

Would rather not say

The Elis James quote comes to mind

'I once met a man who took a shit in the Vetch, and I shook his hand'

How can I put this....

I'm pretty confident that 80-90% of them aren't queuing because they're clenching. More that they just need a private space to 'powder their nose'....

This lot are definitely waiting to take a shit. You can see the look of impending doom on their faces,

The away end ay Ashton gate on Sunday was a completely different story.

Whether Key gets in as a wingback and Darling gets picked , I think LW has turned to 3-4-2-1, and that is a more efficient means of controlling midfield and getting players into positions where can better have an effect on the game. The striker,Vip, gets closer support, and pressing and transitions are covered better.
