Apparently, they've got a new lighting gizmo in the visitors' end of Brighton's new stadium.

It temporarily changes the colour of the walls to the away teams colours. The thinking being, if you make the away fans feel more at home, more of them will come.

Any suggestions for ways to make our visiting fans feel more welcome? :greengrin

When Hearts come calling in a weeks time, empty a septic tank in the away stand (with them in it of course :greengrin)

Ask the stewards in the South Stand to line up against the back wall at the top of each section and urinate just prior to turnstiles opening!

Remove most of the light bulbs from the south stand, put up a few sheets of asbestos paneling, and hold a jumble sale in the concourse.

When the bigots are in town there should only be cold water, no soap and a carpet of broken El Dorado bottles in the toilets. And the TVs should be set to Black and White only! A mobile post-office for giro cashing should also be made available.

Celtc only - All signage should be amended to be devoid of any correct spelling. There should also be a victim-support helpline installed!

"The West Stand is always the main stand in a new stadium because...." ;-). Whereas if you are designing a bus shelter.....Are there even any turnstiles at the PBS that are actually part of the stands structure?

That's easy, close all the toilets and make sure the food outlets run out of anything to eat before half-time.

If my recent visit to Tynecastle is anything to go by, that appears to be the norm.
