Matchday Changes

[sattsy]

I've just seen this on FB.
There nothing about the comments regarding the Hanger, but at least they have taken note to the comments.



Eastleigh Football Club can today confirm that following supporter feedback, we will be making several positive changes to the matchday experience.



These changes will come into effect immediately as of Saturday’s Vanarama National League clash against Kidderminster Harriers.



Migration



The club has decided to relax its rule on migration and all supporters will now be allowed to freely move around the ground to access catering and toilet facilities.



Supporters who have purchased seated tickets in the west or south stand have the choice to migrate to the terraces to watch the game.



Please note that supporters who have purchased match terrace tickets must remain in the terraced areas which are located in the north and east.



Allocated seating will remain in place and supporters are advised to adhere to this.



The migration rule was originally instated in order to prepare for larger crowds, the migration rules will apply should an anticipated crowd of over 3,000 be expected. This will be communicated to supporters prior to the fixture.



Sherwoods Player Lounge



Access to the player lounge on a match-by-match basis will be priced at £5. The club will also be running drinks promotions on draught beers for all supporters in this bar between 12:00 – 14:00 on a Saturday fixture. All pints will be £3.50 during these promotional periods.



Supporters who purchased the seasonal access pass will be issued with a complimentary meal voucher for all remaining fixtures this season.



For fans who purchased the increased package which included the matchday food offering, the club will be in touch personally to notify you of further offerings which are available to yourself.



Matchday Hospitality



Drinks promotions will also be available to hospitality guests, we will now be offering an all-inclusive drinks package for supporters in the Brooks suite.



Anyone wishing to purchase a matchday hospitality experience please contact – [e-mail]



Nuffield Health Stand Concourse Update



Vast investment has been made over the summer with the build of a new 1,500 seater south stand which is home to our new concourse environment. Offering a range of food and beverage choices. Including draft beers. Access to the new concourse is available under the south stand seating area, via the tunnel behind the goal.



Any supporters wishing for further clarity on the above points, please contact Jack Dewey (supporter liaison officer) on – [e-mail]

Great, I will start visiting Sherwoods again and as management seem to be listening to the fans, can you please train the bar staff how to pour a Guinness, one straight continuous pour from the tap is disgusting, Thanks!

I think that’s very sensible and the timing is good, enough time to make a difference. Fair play to those involved. Down to us fans who moaned (myself included) to prove the changes were the correct decision.

Only negative and I don’t think they could reverse it anyway due to pre sold seating tickets, but terrace people not able to sample the new south stand still. Having paid extra to sit there myself I was impressed and if they want it busy that may be hard to do.

Crikey someone's woken up. Good news though. Must of read my post today. Will take a while to get the crowds back though. I wouldn't expect a stampede once you've hacked off your regulars. I dont know any players lounge bars in national league that charge anything to enter and ive been to around 10-15. Just a new manager left now to sort out.

[callumefc]

this is why we support the best club in the land, it listens, even after all the gripes in the last month, 90% of national league clubs would die for a Stewart Donald

[hey55]

Absolutely Callum, well said, l was chatting to him on Tuesday evening still the same old Stewart, big plans and well intentioned dreams

So north stand season ticket holders can't sit up the other end for one half. They haven't really listened have they. Ever heard term "getting behind your team?"

[goldfish]

Why do they charge to get into your own bar on matchdays??? I understand there's free tea and coffee but most people go there for pre match beer and meet friends to get in the match day spirit. Surely free entry packs the place out given a good atmosphere , hot drinks payable in corner. Roof over outside seating area would attract hundreds more?? I shall be at todays game but still won't use sherwoods as it'll be £20 entry before I've had a pint. What's the point in having happy hour prices but charging entry ?? Just charge normal prices with free entry. Baffling decisions.

[soulboy]

I think it's £5 on the day now to get into player's lounge

[goldfish]

That's correct , £5 today to enter bar meaning not many attending where as free entry equals full house, happy punters and the feel good factor like previous years plus big profits over bar. Imagine if we were winning at half time , champagnes corks going off. Simples really. Ah well it'll be £6 next week.

Am I correct to say the off the pitch changes are orchestrated by some chap that has continually dropped down the divisions to find himself at EFC ?
If so keep dropping down to pub league to find your level.
