Fans' Forum tonight

Yeah we’ve got a great ground, the Kop is the best home end in league 2 possibly 1 as well. The atmosphere could sometimes be better, but that’s down to us fans really, in full voice it sounds fantastic as well.

It seems to me that previous owners since Pavis have spent the square root of fa on infrastructure and those chickens are now coming home to roost. The lady complaining about toilets has had some stick but she’s perfectly entitled to point out the difficulties, in an ideal world female fans should be making up 50% of our crowd.

The ground is the best outside the Championship, and we should be proud that it's our home. If Joe what's his name thinks it's looking old and tired, perhaps he should have stayed at that new place in Wimbledon...

Why would 50% women at a football match be an ideal world.
Would they have to be shared equally between race, religion, disabilities and the hundreds of genders.

Not in terms of specific numbers, but it would be good to appeal to everyone out there and make them feel welcome.

Yes it would be great if a Notts crowd reflected the general population of Nottingham.

You and Soccerman could represent the right wing simpleton element.

It's just isn't frankly. For facilities it's MK Dons, regardless of what I think about their organisation, their stadium is fantastic. Atmosphere wise, loads are better than Meadow Lane, take your blinkers off

BFP I won't rise to your childish insult, but do not have a clue why a football match would be better if it represented the population of the locality, totally bizarre thinking. Would the experience become less good if more than 50% of women and girls watched Notts.
Would watching Notts Ladies be better if they were watched by 50% men.
Ever heard of freedom of choice.

You just did, with a pretty pathetic reply.

I love ML but that is a disillusional take.

For a start you are saying it's better than Pride Park and MK Dons.

Secondly it has issues such as size of concourse that are difficult or impossible to resolve. The CEO did explain how it will be resolved in the JS but I'm an ideal world there will be larger concourses in the kop as well as more catering outlets and toilets.

I love ML but let's be realistic

They are welcome. If more women (or other groups that are underrepresented) don't come to watch Notts, it's probably because they don't want to rather than something we're doing wrong.

Generally speaking, you can't appeal to everyone, because we don't all like the same things.
