[Albion] Catering facilities at Swansea - disgraceful

[Sussex Nomad]

The locals were pretty friendly as well, wasn't expecting that. Had Swansea down as being one of the places to keep your wits about you. Maybe it's because their frustration were aimed at the club/team.

You're mistaking them with the Neanderthals in Cardiff I think.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Absolute and utter joke. A pis*hole of a ground.

Least they made me feel at home in London at £5.50 a pint. Actually it was less
than a pint of SA.

The catering seemed fine. Long but very fast moving queue (Barber take note), pie and pint was £8 (had the Celtic Pie which turned out to be a balti and a Brains SA) both a reasonable quality. Staff were friendly and quick and a guy was keeping an eye on the queue. Really not seeing the issue.

I go to games to watch Football. Not to expect Michelin star cuisine and fine Ales.
You get that in the towns or cities

Happily chatted to a few on the walk back to town. They are mightily pissed off.

Not surprised with that durge they dished out yesterday, easily the worst team I have seen in the Prem... Palace asides.

Never eat at footy grounds,drink rule only 4 at a time was a strange one,drank at the working man club 2 min walk away before the game

 

[Is it PotG?]

The food, drinks and bogs were pretty standard for a football ground.

Stewards WERE quite chatty and helpful tbf.

"Durge". Is that Welsh for something?

All I can find online is a reference to a Star Wars character

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Durge

..and a couple of slang references

Neither of which make sense in the context you are using.

I tend to agree. I've queued longer in WSU (and much longer in Dicks) only to get to the front of the queue and discover that various items wanted have run out. At least they seemed to have everything they were advertising in sufficient quantity. And the Brains SA (albeit bottled) was indeed fine.

You wasted x amount of minutes doing that? I'm impressed, how is your life?

You could catch typhoid and cholera from the catering and toilets at the Goldstone.

What you on about, you could've eaten your dinner off that North Stand toilet floor! It would have killed you, but....

Absoulte shit and some nob head fans pushing in the queue at half time. Gave up even trying.

The rest of the stadium was fine though.

Unruly behaviour by the super fans whatever next?

Liked the stadium been to worse this year, 30 minute walk from town centre, catering could have been improved but better than most other away grounds I have been to this year. Friendly stewards and police with a sense of humour. Got talking to a Swansea fan after the game and they have plans to improve the ground and facilities. The main topic of discussion with fans seemed to be the lack of confidence they have in the manager. I liked.the area went out in the evening for a meal and only met friendly down to earth people. Bonus was staying in the same hotel as the players, all in all a very nice weekend.

Swansea is a great city. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

The people there are lovely.

I liked the ground. We had a good view and the stewards were very friendly. The park and ride was well organised and it was a good system when we left to just go and wait on the bus until all were led out together. We stayed in Porthcawl and enjoyed a pre match pint in The Seagull - 2 pints of Rev James and 2 glasses of wine for £11.70 - very reasonable.

I also thought it was ok. The queue looked daunting, but moved really quickly and the steak & ale pie I had was pretty good.

 

[Rogero]

People tend to go to football grounds to watch football games. I'ts like catering facilities at cinemas, just go to watch the match and less worrying about your stomach for two hours.

These days it is the whole matchday experience .

About half a minute at most really. Life fine, thanks

Probably the poshest thing I've ever read a football fan post.

Catering facilities being disgraceful.
