Ha no. First thing, there seems to be more gangways abroad..but I've no proof of that. How it worked was that people would pass money and consumables backward and forward quite cheerfully, as long as there was nothing else going on. Nobody minded because everyone did it.

modboy Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 On a serious note couldn't they force everyone to walk along Park road and turn that carpark into a hospitality area for the kop on matchdays? (South stand access would need addressing though ) Same with the megastore carpark for the North? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They walk up and down the steps pouring pints. If youre desperate for some fizzy stuff it satisfies a need. TBH rugby fans are different. I go to Leicester and you buy pints outside and walk through the turnstiles with them. The world doesnt end. Tell SAG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a modern phenomena that a pie and drink will cost you a third of the admission. It wouldn't work in the modern world, because the modern world is bobbar. I can absolutely assure you that's how it used to work..the first few times I was like a Japanese sniper playing poker. Then you get used to it and relax. As you say though, we're a completely different culture and I just can't see it working. Your post made me laugh a good deal by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The places I've had experience of this, are America, Canada, Asia and southern Europe. But not recently. It's a totally different mindset. It's sociable and unstuffy. There's not 10,000 people constantly wanting things, you might get bothered 3 or 4 or 5 times during two hours. If you didn't play the game though, you'd be stuck for what you wanted. It made half time easy because unless you want the bog, everything else is on hand. Btw you made a good point about some calling RW a winger when he hasn't played that way for ages.

Its 15 minutes at 3:45 that they need to maximize, as others have said the cash they are missing from this is ridiculous on 23+ days/nights a season. Its not like its a new phenomena, they surely know how many they sell in that 'window' so make sure its done efficiently. A bit of A4 paper saying 'express lane' means bugger all to the typical lairy football supporter, not everyone follows the twitterfeed, and even that didnt really say owt.

Not muddled at all.Your post said you'd seen it in HK which seemed as you were advocating this stupid idea. This idea if it was implemented (obviously I wasn't meaning that you were doing the job) wouldn't work as I for one am there to watch the match not pass a lazy get chocolate etc because they can't last 90 mins without stuffing their face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read it all properly in the morning when you've sobered up. I know you'll feel sorry but don't bother with an apology for me because I'm blocking you.
