On Tuesday night, on official workshop was held at St James’ Park where club officials met with fans to discuss ways in which the atmosphere could be improved for home games.
Following last night’s event, the NUST have released the following feedback, featuring a few ideas for improvement that were put forward:
‘Matchday Atmosphere Event Summary. Overall most tables agreed on the following suggestions to improve atmosphere or match day experience:
Better PA System usage / upgrade.
Music selection needs updating. Club potentially survey fans to see which songs are preferred. Allow organic fan singing after match ends.
Most in favour of bringing back half time entertainment. The zorbs racing of Wonga days mentioned a few times. Suggested (Mehrdad) Ghodoussi and Jamie Reuben to be first contestants!
Cheaper drinks / food options right up to kick off
Overall agreement to idea of extending the safe standing in ground. Popular areas were level 7 next to away fans, Leazes and Gallowgate. Could be tied in to be a singing section.
Queues at half time need to be tackled. Suggested mobile drink stations for bottles to ease pressure of queues
Allow people to select where they sit if successful in ballot. So they can sit with friends / family
More TV screens in ground.
Some liked idea of pyro display for special occasions but resounding agreement on not having light displays like other clubs’
