Easier it has its own thread 

Popped in, queue far to big with only one bar so went hotel 

The setup though was really good, match on bit music, perfect

Spoke to one chap who did say there was another bar going in, which is great 

First thoughts, to much food available and not enough drink, which is all that most fans want 

Will definitely improve 

In the ground, lad sat next to me was charged 2 quid for a glass of tap water as they had run out of bottles !   Tad harsh

The price of a pint is one thing, but 4.20 for a bottle of coke is taking the piss big time

Smart water - fuck off

Thats very naughty

Thats poor judgement within the kiosk, rather than owt to do with the club, imo

Did it reopen after the match?

Yes for an hour.

On days like yesterday they should keep it going until the live 5.30 ko has finished

Guessing its one of yours

I dunno, waters water

Brings to mind a couple of years ago, something in the supermarket

 

Real fruit juice with refreshing water added - so, diluted fruit juice and your charging me more

Yes. I think bottled water will die a death in a few year anyway.

Defo with the move to reduce plastic. I know we have got reusable bottles now. #bigeonhisarse

It'll get better, good to see it packed. The club are trying, at least.

And replaced with what?

Dispense machines I suspect. Bring your own bottle etc. 

Edited August 7, 20223 yr by tomski

Fanzone needs a bottle bar, bottle vending machines, fast pour bottom filled pints etc.
Anything to speed up the service.

Poring pints is just slowing the process

problem yesterday was one till didn’t have Madri so the next one was pouring for 2 lines

Multi pouring with reusable cups to put us go green. Small fee for cup returned if cup is returned like in Germany

Called in fanzone ready to hate the experience but in all honesty was quiet impressed

Yes ,it was a long queue, but i got a decent pint at the end of it , unlike the shite i have been served up in the stadium for years

I think if we stick with it service will improve and it will be a good meeting point before matches

I agree.We've been asking for a decent FZ, let's give it a chance.  I just got in a queue yesterday, so I didn't know what was on the bar. If I'd known they had a Blackedge on I'd have gone there. Good to know though that someone has been listening, and we've not just got the same inside bar ourside.

It needs another few weeks of good weather while it sorts itself out, because come October and November there will have to be another change. 

I didn't get to talk to my ST friend, but I will next time and give her a Chinese burn until she spills any beans there are.

It can turn itself into Ice or a cloud.

Like bottled tap water as opposed to proper mineral water, I think.

You know, like smart motorways are like normal motorways but shitter.

noticed recently more places offering water to top up your bottle to stop plastic use. Airports, stations, festivals. Even Ibiza is moving towards cartons / cans

Do we have any idea what kind of permanent / stronger roof structure is going in? Be good if it had sides which could be in place when shit and out the way when roasting. 
 

really does have the makings of something decent by the sound of it

It's going to be a massive marquee for this season I reckon if they are on about getting it properly enclosed for the winter. Can't see anything more permanent than that at the moment. 

They've said what it is like now won't be what it is in 18 months.

France are banning single use plastics.  We will follow suit I’m sure. It’s a while off yet though.

Hopefully we get to the recycling systems like in Germany. Expensive I am sure but surely we can sort it
