Definitely. Spent about 5 mins pre-match watching 6 or 7 servers stand and wait for full pints watching the one person the other side pouring them. Any half-sensible manager would have simply told 1 or 2 to get around the other side and help with the pouring……..
I wonder if there’s been any analysis of different catering models and profit? Whilst better qualify food served by competent staff will be a higher overhead maybe it will result in more people being served and more people wanting to buy and in turn more profit?
I’ve had mixed reviews when dropping 3 pounds of sausage
All depends when you arrive in the queue, I guess. I got in about 35 mins before KO and the queue was so long it was almost impossible to get past it to walk along the concourse. To make it worse for anyone trying to get through, there were also the queues for the beer bars so you were sandwiched between the two. There was quite a crush and people were starting to lose patience. Anyone joining the queue for food would have been there a lot longer than 5 minutes.
Thanks Barry, do you happen to know if there’s a plan from the new members to maintain a presence on NSC?
A bit like the London Stadium maybe. Loads of food outlets outside. I had a fantastic traditional pasty last season which warmed me up as the weather was shocking. It's just sh*t when inside the stadium.
It's surprising that they haven't used the space on the North of the walkway to the stadium, between the exit of the station/bridge over the tracks up to the main concourse, to put in some more food options. No idea if the club owns it or the council, but whoever it is they're missing out on some decent revenue renting out spots there. There have to be any number of vans that would love to park up there on matchdays and sell food.
Good question.
Re Amex cards. Last season I'd get either 10% or 15% discount. Maybe the till I use.
