Pre-Season Open Days

Ok, so had the questions to CPFC2010 thread still existed I would have put this in there, but it doesn't so i have started a thread, hopefully no one minds. At Jule's testimonial on Tuesday my mate and had just been in the car park clubshop when we saw a mobbed Jules going into the players lounge. Being my favourite player i would have loved a picture with him but it would not have been possible. So it got me thinking back to the days when the club had an open day. They used to be a great day where players were scattered around the car park and in the ground so that you could get their autograph and a photo with them. The clubshop was open with the new kits on sale, food places open to keep everyone refreshed, you could go in the changing rooms and the board room so i was able to do the player walk out of the tunnel and touch the ZDS cup and a play-off trophy on display in the boardroom and then there was a marquee on the pitch set up for interviews. It enabled you to hear from current players and get to see new signings and was generally a good day full of colour.

So, given the great state of the club, all the improvements Steve Parish has made around the ground, and the joy of two great seasons in the Prem, could these open days not make a return? I know last season with the under-soil heating being installed a marquee would not have been possible, but otherwise i have no idea why they stopped happening and why they have never returned.

Would people want to see this type of day make a return? Would it be possible?
