    I've often thought if we have a home friendly on the Saturday (as we did yesterday) the open day should be based around that.

    The only reason I can think of why it isn't on the same day is that they have a fair on the car park but I'm not sure how much of the car park is taken up or whether it makes it impractical

    Executive boxes not used for friendly s though , and the events based on exec carpark , so I couldn’t see that been a problem

    I understand the record attempt failed, presumably due to the drastically reduced attendance. Everything was taken indoors under the East Stand and the scale and size of it was understandably scaled down.

    That said the people who were there were clearly enjoying themselves and my small party, including my 3 year old grandson (for whom these things are really designed) certainly did.

    Only black mark from me is the club's shameful failure to get the new kits in on time. Very poor for a retail operation of their size imho.
