Guest ka58 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I was in grandstand. Just pull 25 pints of lager 25 pints of beer in readiness. Clear initial push and serve rest. also - don’t offer a pint of smiths at 3.70 and a can of smiths at 3.50 - then pour the can into a pint glass. waste of effin time. Lager pump - beer pump. It’s not rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 always have a couple of beers before the game and yesterday feeling a bit peckish asked for a packet of crisps ..."what flavour " she asks ,salt and vinegar please .....gets back to me cubicle and feck me she's given me plain ......ok its not a big deal but if we cant get the small things right then it' can so easily spread and before you know it the back 4 are giving the ball away, fletch is missing sitters and we are tumbling down the league and with the ramifications of FFP unable to stop the rot .............it needs sorting . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read some comments in the vein of ‘what do you expect, it’s a football match’. Which 30 years ago, might be ok. Not in today’s game, it’s a day out; an ‘experience’ that clubs are supposed to be selling. But wanting a fresh hand pulled pint is a joke, it’s not a gastro pub in the country. Theres 15-30 minutes to serve as many possible At big events modern stadiums have those machine that pull 6 drinks at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not rocket science. This is the simple and obvious solution. Pre pour before half time. Also, you’ll notice the current system is designed to have one serving and one pulling. The one pulling is meant to be keeping up with demand so the one serving can turn and pick up pre poured pints. Whereas what’s actually happened is one takes payment then turns and watches his mate pull a pint which he then takes from him and gives to you. Meaning it takes two people to serve one pint. Therefore not only are they not using the system how it’s been designed to speed things up, they’re actually using it in a way that is slower than a standard bar system where one person would do both jobs. its so frustrating. I was one of hundreds that walked away from the queue on Saturday in the grandstand as the second half was kicking off. Poor fan experience and so much lost revenue. been like it for years though and nobody ever changes owt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never seen it. if that’s the case have one queue for people who want a fresh one and leave the rest of us to walk up and quickly get a pre poured one. 99% of people would be happy just to get a drink. Seriously though, how do we open dialogue with the club about this, as it’s pissed me off for years I can only assume the club aren’t aware of it. There’s thousands in lost income every week.

With just two vendors I’m surprised anyone noticed. I didn’t know this happened. To be successful I would expect the club to make a bit more of a deal about it.

Inspector Lestrade Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 How's it going to be worthwhile realistically when the window of opportunity for the vendors is only for an hour or so? Seems a lot of bother for such a short time. But no experience in retail, so for once I'm not an expert in these matters, after another four or five pages on this thread I should be up to speed though.

And the incompetence extends in to the Wednesday Tap. There is never enough staff on or not fully trained and the pumps must be the slowest pourers ever. This culminates in long queues and the club not taking the revenue they ought to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james o connor Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I wholly agree with the people who are saying ‘why can’t you go 2 hours without food’ I’ve no idea why anyone would want to purchase that over priced tat. But people do , so it’s worth sorting . so many clubs have people pouring pints as people are selling them. It’s not rocket science is it .

You can get better food a stones throw from the ground before or after the match, for probably half the price, and you don’t have to join a queue 15 deep to get it. All you have to do it not eat between 3pm and 5pm. You have just highlighted 3 or 4 issues the club should be addressing right there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
