hughmungus Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Been discussed before about a beer tent outside the ground run by one of the local micro breweries but would have to be limited numbers i.e. 200 a time to keep everyone happy and control the idiots who cant take their ale. Not sure what happened but seems a fairly simple thing to organise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is looking over to a supervisor to tell them what to do during a simple transaction that involved taking money and handing the change back after using the till, they've obviously been parachuted into the role, on the hyper-cheap, with no fucking guidance. As for Bovril, I reacquainted myself with it a few years back at Leicester and thought this takes me back and so had another. I'm only 15 miles away from their ground but I only just made it home before bursting my banks. Straight through me. Never again. Quite right. Going for the cheap option. A combination of the two produced a shocking effect last year. I asked for a hot chocolate. Went to my seat, let it cool a little and took my first sip as I was talking to someone. I was fuckin Bovril. Cunts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be going to the wrong place. They have them pre-poured and ready and waiting to collect at half time from where the bookies are pre-match.

stevieb Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Pints only, Contactless queues would help. Let the ditherers who decide what they want when they get to the front of the queue then fumble about for 20p in their pockets have their own queue.

So just in case anybody of importance is reading this: You wouldnt need 10 people behind a kiosk if: 1. they didnt hover around doing nothing 2. it didnt need two (even three!) to operate a till 3. they are werent as thick as pigshit (i am very serious with this one!!) Some investments needs to be made in the kiosks, they need redesigning, fast pouring pumps, and a proper process for serving customers to make it as fast as possible. It’s time to also add cask beers to the normal shite they serve, perhaps invite Bank top to run a number of kiosks. And we need a couple of Marquees around the ground so folk can drink before and after the game.

Blondi Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I have to say that the lager served up at the ground is the worst I've ever tasted and we get charged not far off £4.00 a pint, I'm all for buying food/drink at the game, but no way are we going to buy that dreadful stuff anymore. I don't mind the pies. crisps etc, but please FV sort the lager out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adlington Trotter Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 The beer at the Unibol is hit and miss, but to be fair the beer token system in the west lower works well. But they are a right gormless bunch behind the bar at times. Just have one person on the till, and two people constant pouring the pints. Hardly rocket science. In north lower a couple of years back, one lad asked me if grolsch was a lager or cider! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
