Owl999 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) It's very very close to being time for a total boycott to end this farceAs much as I agree with you on this point I feel you are completely deluded if you think Owlstalk honestly has the power to influence any boycott by fans or change in working practises / cost of products by the people at Lindley's unfortunately .

Orlando_Trustful Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Stop moaning and stop buying. If people people continue to buy the crap Lindleys will continue laughing at you. The club won't be impacted in the short term so send Lindleys a message and stop buying their overpriced slop. Not sure how many more times this needs saying. Exactly. I can't believe people STILL buy the shyte from inside the ground. The last time I bought something in there must have been in about 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Johnbloodaxe Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 The only way to address it is to hire out each single outlet to a seperate owner operated kiosk with some pride in their product. Otherwise you get staff who only work once or twice a fortnight for a few quid who have no motivation for working more quickly or smarter. Simple solution to a problem for a single mass caterer.

Guest _Ibbo_ Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Although I suspect Yorkshire Tea might have it soon. Which would be ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnbloodaxe Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) If an outlet could be guaranteed 30 events a year i.e. 23 games plus cup games plus a few "events" and they worked smarter and quicker serving decent quality food at reasonable prices they could turnover £100k plus per annum, which would e all the motivation they needed. That's serving 750 customers per game event at £5 per customer spend, that has to be a doable figure?? You could clear £75k ++ margin for a few days work a year. Got to be the way to do it. I would have thought, variety, quality, value for money and speed of service. Edited April 6, 2015 by Johnbloodaxe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple solution to a problem for a single mass caterer. i agree. Another thought as to why the people selling are so careful with working out how much to charge is that they might have to make up any shortfall in the takings and being on minimum wage.

FlyingOwl Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Until the food is better quality or you get more for your money...I won't spend inside the ground. We have two very good chippies at opposite ends of the stadium, we have several decent burger stalls, three Beres in walking distance and other fast food outlets. There's plenty of choice. I'd love for us to have good caterers that provide good food at a good price. I don't expect much. Just better than what we have. But until we do I won't even bother getting a bottle of pop. Put it this way. We were late getting to the Newcastle friendly game, hadn't had tea so we were forced into getting food from the South Stand concourse. A piddly tray of chips cost me £3. The portion was tiny and the chips were cold and soggy. You also only got those crappy sachets of ketchup. In the chippy on penistone road I can get chips and curry sauce for less than that, and it's a good sized portion! To some people. food does not matter at football. And that's fine. But for others, like me and my family, football is a full day out. We have to leave the house at a time that means we can't have our lunch (or tea for evening games) before we leave...so we have to eat in Sheffield.
