Big Jack Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Food....thats not food. Zero imagination at football generally junk grub and fizzy coloured water. Get to pub proper beer and food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Why are 14 year olds working ? So they realise this is a normal thing to do when they leave school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactus Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Whilst we are on about the catering, can anybody sort out the organisation of the queues. Especially in the South stand the queues just line up at 90 degrees to the counters blocking any sort of movement within the concourse. Why cant we have a barrier queing system like you see at theme parks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuthaMucker Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I had a job at 14. Worked as a waitress at my local rugby club. Cash in hand, got to eat any food not sold & got to watch the rugby for free. Worked enough hours and bought a Wednesday away shirt...the black and yellow stripe one from the poo poo Irvine/Megson season.....then got bored and quit. I might have come across you before then, I used to play for the Knights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better people crowding round the bar or counter with efficient staff knowing whose next. ...................Ah yes, efficient staff. I forgot !

SuperKevin Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I went down for my half time pie at 43 min against Burnely and was one of the first in que and they'd ran out of pies! The half time whistle hadn't even gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
since59owe Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Best organised I've seen it yesterday. Looked liked they had some Thai girls working as well. They were far better than the useless teenagers we normally get. We're so getting there as a club. We're doing the basics well now across all operational areas.

Owl.1867 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I actually found yesterday even worse than usual. They didn't open every bar, and had fewer people working than usual, it was absolute chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robster_owl Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 DC was informed the catering was awful. Looks like he listened. Or quite possibly, they listened to DC more like Imagine him going on one, as he's now in effect paying their contract, their staffs wages within their own company etc; just like when we will rant we pay this or that persons wages, which in effect we do... I'm sure DC won't be ANY push over when it comes to wanting professionalism at the highest possible order, for his buck and rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robster_owl Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 This. One idea brought up was to have a pool of matchday kiosk workers between us & Sheffield United, obviously with us never playing at home on the same day. Would mean the job would be more regular, wages would increase, motivation & standard of employee would probably increase too. Training spread across two clubs & regularly working would mean the job would become more natural. Is it April 1st already? Can you imagine the Saboteur claims or the thought of what some piggy fan who staffed our kiosks foods could be doing to said food before being served to us *shudders* This surely has to be a non starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in this sense, we all get spoilt at the newer stadiums - for e.g. Cardiff City's has HUGE depth to their concourses, so they can afford the space to have 'queuing pens' but I don't think they'd work to be fair, as none of our concourses have the safe depth to them for elf n seefty I'd imagine... not to mention South Yorkshire Police would freak at the thought of this kind of thing.

Very good point. Our concourses are tiny really. North stand upper at the Leppings Lane end where the queue ends up blocking the ramp to exit is a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
