    The little things that could have been done years ago. Finally some foresight.

    The changes this year have been fantastic, looking after the fans of the future is a no brainer. We got season tickets this year in the Family stand, my son was asked to walk out with his favourite player on Saturday!, its Kenny Dougall this Kenny Dougall that now. Fantastic BFC keep it up!

    They had lizards and spiders and all sorts of other unusual pets at the last home game. Looked great

    Great work being done, at being proactive to get the next generation hooked. Just because the kids live in town, we can't assume that we will be the team they get involved with. But this hands on approach at making the matchday experience more memorable for the young uns should make them feel more special and help with stopping the town being littered with so many youths in premiership shirts, of teams they will only ever bother watching on the TV.

    Excellent BFC! I really love that they are doing this. I really, really, hope they pick an older child to read out the fixture list though as that could go horrendously if not!

    The Don was on verge of letting the trust do something similar but then he resigned/retired and Mansford wasnt too keen.

    Would go even worse though if an adult was asked to read the teams out and started reciting fixtures instead ;) :confused:

    Really good work to improve the match day experience in the Family Stand, which is supported by more people sitting in that area. The idea to setup a club stall on the concourse is also welcome.
    What really, REALLY, needs doing is finding a way to reduce time spent trying to buy food and drinks. Installing some form of queuing system, to stop the whole concourse being taken over by the food queue, would be much appreciated - perhaps a couple of rails for people to queue around would make the difference.
