In my defence i always go down to the catering on 33 mins to avoid the queues....whilst stood there yesterday Mitch gave the 2nd goal away. I imagine quite a few in the Upper Smiths do similar as they can glimpse the game on the monitors downstairs whilst also trying to avoid the ridiculous queues that build up.
I fully agree that the only way you can get “refreshments” at BP is to miss a proportion of the game. As you t looks like we are staying for a while there has to be a better way. Re the OP I fail to see how you can “contribute” if you never go to games or buy the odd bit of tat fro the shop.

The away fans coming to BP over the years has always been in the bottom 3 of what ever league we are in unless the away team has a chance or is in the promotion spots.
Then you have to look at the ambition of the board, and how that reflects on the team and football on offer. We do quite well considering the Fenty football fortune we have had since he has been either in the hot seat or major share holder.

Huddersfield have obviously done worse since they moved to their new stadium. They've not won the League Championship once since then. They won it 3 years in a row when playing at Leeds Road!

But Leeds Road was a new stadium - only 15 years old when they started their 3 year run... Hadn't appreciated that HTFC are Johnny Come Latelys - founded in 1908! Thirty years after Town. Also looking at the attendances for fixtures between the clubs in the 30's - they aren't a bigger club at all! HTFC are the only club to have played in every division at two different grounds...get a new stadium and Town could be the second club - that is your objective JF...

See that's why I love history. The deeper you dig, the more you find. Most of the big city clubs were Johnnie Come-Latelys. In many of them the senior 'football' clubs were of the Rugby variety (League or Union). The Football League bent over backwards to get 'soccer' clubs from the cities into the League.
