To further complete Wally's series...
So your club may have a flashy canteen, a luxurious restaurant, or at least a decent fastfood caterer... But by the end of the game, whatever remains of those drinks and food has to find its way out again:err: Does your club's stadium have decent facilities for this little duty as well?
My club KVO's stadium has no classy toilets where you would say they are extremely clean, but I have seen a lot worse. It all depends where you go to have it done. We have two canteens: one below the seated stand (which is a bit more luxurious, not just the stand but also the canteen) and one below the terraces. The canteen below the terraces has decent toilets but sometimes the fans make a mess out of it and by the beginning of the second half you may find it a bit filthy or notice it has run out of paper.
The canteen below the main stand are a lot cleaner, not sure why. But they just are. Also, you have more privacy because there are several toilets with an actual door in front of them. The toilet for wheelchair users is rarely used so if the other toilets happen to be filthy or if there is a large queue, you can always use the toilet for wheelchair users (or the ladies toilets, most of our fans know each other well and know which guys are trostworthy to come in and which ones are pervs that need to stay out of there :angel
In the end, not brilliant but decent. Worst I saw in Belgium was KV Kortrijk, where the toilet was actually completely stuck so it was not cleaner nor flushed in weeks. Stupid me tried desperately to flush, and as a result the toilet really overflew with everything it in finding its way to the floors... much to the disapproval of my fellow fans :moan:
Also, the team I supported in Ireland (Shelbourne) happened to have toilets symbolising the financially troubled state of the club: the season after winning the league the last time we were relegated to the second division for sky-high debts. Some fans of visiting teams made complaints to the club for not having light in the toilets ; the club apparently replied there was no more money to buy a new light bulb, and asked the next set of fans visiting if they wanted to bring their own bulb and donate it to the club. Apparently the toilet floors were quite filthy as well but you cannot expect a good aim without any piece of light...
