It’s understandable that after being empty for 18 months the stadium has become a little grubby. However with plenty of notice of when the ground would be used again this state of affairs is totally unacceptable. Who is responsible SUFC or Cool Silk? Amounts to the same thing really doesn’t it.

I took a duster again yesterday to clean our seats, we had been in different seats against Hull City. In my opinion it is a very poor state of affairs. I listened to the Podcast the other night and Mr.Swann laughed this matter off, it matters to me Peter. UTWI

Well now the matter has been raised live on the podcast maybe the Chairman will have the good grace to raise the matter with the relevant people himself. After all he is meant to care and we already know he can laugh things off but perhaps he may actually do something positive now this matter has been discussed with him.

I would have thought that he reads some of the posts on this board. So it could be worth telling him directly.
So come on Swanny, get your bloody finger out!

The reply regarding the seats ought to have been, ‘really? I’ve not been down to see, but leave it with me and I’ll look in to it because that’s not acceptable. If I expect you to part with good money to come down here, you should expect better when you get here’. Instead, it’s treated as a joke. And trust me, it’s a lot more than a dozen or so moaners mate.

I thought Swann’s answer to the question about the state of the ground on the podcast was absolutely pathetic. As Deerey says, he should have shown far more interest in the issue. After all, he’d spent quite a bit of time on the interview asking for us to buy season tickets & to come to games, surely that’s the point when you demonstrate a bit of customer service?
If I were in charge of the club’s PR, I’d have been furious with his answer.

I’m sure the club’s PR team were furious Ferrite but would they dare tell him?

The toilets in the Easy Buy were an absolute disgrace & the seats not much better.
Would it have been that hard to give facilities a lick of paint and at least ensure toilets had adequate lighting levels?
Would have it have been that hard to bring in a cleaning contractor to clean seats for a week to ensure they were at least presentable?Shameful SUFC

How many pubs & restaurants have you seen since lockdown which have either used the opportunity to refurbish the place or which are doing everything they can to look spick & span to encourage customers back. Yet football fans are taken for granted yet again.
I know money is apparently tight but you cannot save on certain things and expect to do well.

Topics: 11Wow how did you some of you survive at old grounds like Saltergate? Such snobbery from football customers.
Fans not customers!
Pointless comparison. Saltergate’s been closed around a decade and, perhaps you’re not aware, that s***hole wasn’t the home of the Iron? Personally, I always enjoyed my visits there but I wouldn’t have wanted it as my home ground. Many of us are ex-OSG, so we’re quite used to slumming it mate. Nowadays, we should and do expect better. I suppose you think all those complaining on Twitter are wrong too? Nice try, trying to turn this in to a culture war though. What next, anybody who dare complain about on and off the field matters is a ‘snowflake’?

Topics: 11That explains the problem then UTI99, if the chairman’s main interest is customers, as he has at his entertainment venues, rather than fans. He appears to have little interest in fans and their needs and if, as you suggest, fans are what he should expect at the SVS then there’s no need to prepare an attractive and acceptable venue is there.

Don’t know about you, but I’m not a fan of standing ankle deep in piss.

Another brilliant post.
I take back every detrimental comment I’ve ever made about you and hereby promise no more will be posted.
I bow to thy greatness.1 user thanked author for this post.
I’m only expressing opinions I and many others, including you, feel Alcazar. And I’m sure there’s plenty of your detrimental comments about me were justified. However, likewise, I will endeavour to keep our disagreements constructive in future and try to avoid the unnecessary bickering and unsavoury reactions.

the acceptance of crap comes from the top in any organisation. You set your standard on everything you cant pick and choose when to have high standards. As you approach the ground you see the state of the flags etc you think no one here cares why should i. Staff, players, supporters will think it. And away teams will pick it up too. We have the look and feel of a team on the drift downwards.
Stopping petty crime is the start of prevent more serious crime. Having a high standards throughout the club will set the tone for management and players. Do wonder how Swan does succeed1 user thanked author for this post.
