    So if we assume that BFC will retain its champioship status what improvements do you think should be done down at Oakwell?

    Ticketing prices has been mentioned on many occassions during this season.

    How does the club encourage the stay away supporters to return?

    Also what of player recruitment and sales.What does Keith need to do to move the club on for the season ahead?

    1) Better matchday and season ticket prices.

    2) Scrap the 1912 membership.

    3) More reasonably price official coach pricing. Personally I think they should sell tickets at break even to cover the coaches so we can get way more people to away games to cheer the lads on.

    4) Better food. I don't expect champagne and Chinese like at Emirates, but I don't expect to pay three quid for ***** junk food. If you are a vegie the choice is poor for those people too.

    5) Better priced food. Rather go to Greggs pre match and spend a quid on a piece of pizza or a sausage roll etc, or just eat before I leave and wait until I get home.

    6) Drinks only queue. People wanting food always take longer to serve and it's a pain waiting. Also get up some railings so they know who to serve next and people can stop pushing in.

    7) Keep the TVs on Sky Sports News on matchday. They were all OFF again at the weekend.

    8) Better pre match entertainment. Why not get some local bands to do a 20-30 minute set from about 2:15? They would do it for free to perform in front of thousands who won't have heard of them before and plenty on here could recommend bands to our club.

    1.How about replacing /updating the scoreboard to include video screen.

    2. Improving the PA system so that people can actually hear what's being said.

    3. Improving the pre match entertainment, including the screens in the concourses.

    That'll do for a start!

    1) average matchday price come end of season will be on par with others, and less than many. Season tickets great value and have payment schemes
    2) 1912 scheme beneficiaries would ask - why?
    3) Save a tenner by going on unofficial coaches
    4) pop to Greggs on the way to ground
    5) as above
    6) 'oh and a pie' - ah go on then replied the server. Will that work. Bovril bar?
    7 & 8) agree there

    1) Season ticket is great value just not POTD.
    2) It was brought in to get a fiver off cat matches. If prices are more reasonable it won't be needed.
    3) True but we are trying to help the club out with ideas. Sending possible customers elsewhere won't help.
    4) See number 3.
    5) See number 3.
    6) A queue just for pop, bovril, tea, coffee, hot chocolate etc would save people queueing behind people where "sorry we've sold out" usually gets said.
    7) Even better if they have on the early kick off game to try and get people in earlier.
    8) Good :)
