Can we make improvements to the away end to enhance the away fan experience?

No. Frankly they are of secondary importance. We already give some of them free tea or coffee and I suspect it's easier to get to their tea hut at half time then the ones on the Bank! They can always get a pint in the Spot or Fecrace before the game.
If we have money for improvements it should be the home fans first

Give them a roof and get rid of the wasps nest.

Oh, hang on...

If I recall correctly this is one of the infrastructure changes planned for this close season, as stated at the last AGM. A larger drinking area behind the away stand, that will allow alcohol to be sold regardless of the numbers of away supporters.

That seems a bit short-sighted and even a little Trump-esk to me. If we are losing money because we cannot open the bar to away fans, when a threshold is met, and there's a simple, cost-effective solution to that, then let's do it. That's not to say we shouldn't attempt to improve the experience for home fans as well.

Give them extra seating access only in the Adam Stansfield Stand. That way they will be able to see the "Not so big screen". Give the standing away area to City fans. That way you will experience City noise all through the stadium. The away end is really loud when full or often when not full. This will be more advantageous for City and give the away fans somewhere they all can sit. By doing this we would also stop away fans bringing a drum into the ground. Win win

There's no way to segregate the Stanno Stand, as there's only one entrance/exit, one set of toilets, etc, so I don't believe that's possible.

Never heard one from the Bank TBH.

Also, who are the City fans that are going to stand in the away end and make noise?
