    SC said he wanted home fans by the tunnel. Club gave in, despite it being obvious that it was a stupid idea.

    If City fans were move across a point made on Otib is that they could then use the Dolman concourse. If its big enough?

    It's definitely not big enough, the queues down there are a nightmare. They should make it like other venues food and soft drinks one counter and alcohol another. I know if someone wants pie and pint it's a pain but there wasn't much issue in the old dolman bar. But now it's rammed trying to get stuff and then have a piss.

    It would make it easier for this season but would require a substantial amount of work for mid season

    agreed, the queues have to seen to be believed - many (including us) have stopped having a half-time Beer - the club must be losing out on a fortune!

    I would be very surprised if sales had dropped but like yourself I have ceased buying anything. Increased sales don't necessarily equal good service. Queuing for a pint takes far too long meaning it has to be downed in minutes.The Dolman concourse is a cramped and underwhelming experience at present.

    It is hard to visualise how fans from the Atyeo also could be accommodated.

    I just can't see how they are going to be housed in there, as you said I've also given up going down there at half time. It's just mayhem, plus I smoke one of those vapour cigarette's I'm surprised people actually smoke proper cigarettes outside now, the amount of people crammed into that alley way is unbelievable

    I moved from Dolman to South Stand after 4 games and think that the queuing is worse in the South.
    I dont bother getting a half time pint as I would miss 20mins of the second half. I think the reason why
    it is such a nightmare as it takes 2 members of staff to pour a cup of tea. Where is our half time app to pre order
    drinks. Even thought about taking a thermos, blimey I am getting old !

    Looking forward to having them on the Dolman side to create more atmosphere in the Dolman maybe. But totally against them coming into the concourse not because I don't want to begrudge them, but I just can't see the room to accommodate them. It's a nightmare at the moment to the extent that I can't be arsed to move down there at half time, the queues are just ****e.

    Its a nightmare just like trying to leave the stand at full time, they should have food stalls to the left of the turnstiles like their was at the Forest game
