Don't be facetious. I do chat but I rarely eat or drink at matches. I used to alwaays have a tea and a pie at Withdean but I rarely bother at Amex.

It's only a little facetious - point is that for many it is an afternoon/evening out; GG might not float it for you but they might for others. Some tolerance required, methinks.

Isn't it great what you can do taking part of a quote out of context.

Spent a minute or so trying to figure out whether this was trolling. Decided on yes, which makes the world a less complicated place.
If you hadn't noticed, the blokes running around kicking a ball and the fat blokes singing monotonous songs have been the allure for over a century.
Thankfully the kids agree with questions such as "why can't the game start now?" etc throughout screeching opera singers and other such 'customer experiences'.

Actually, the fact is that in the 21st. century there are likely to be more fat ones - obesity - and childhood obesity - are rapidly growing problems!

What a myopic view you have.
The game isn't going to start any sooner if there's no entertainment pre-game. Maybe someone needs to tell those thick kids that.
Perhaps people will get there earlier and spend more money if there is something entertaining on before hand?
Or maybe just fire the whole marketing department because they are pointless when people like you are happy to just going to turn up watch the game and go home. No need for them to come up with any new concepts for the dinosaurs.

If you think so, personally I think you have a blatant disregard and ignorance for what a traditional footballing experience should be about. My kids absolutely cannot wait for KO, and love to join in with the 'fat blokes' singing with no encouragement needed, perhaps I should tell them their day is up and they need to demand more like a taylor swift solo or a few morris dancers prematch to get excited. I'm all for enhancing the experience by the way, fanzone, interviews, kids pens, cb challenges, half time tomfoolery like bubble soccer and that giant dartboard were all good fun. Most of them involving football and didn't detract from the main event which everyone is there for.
I'll let the 'thick' kids know that. They really should know better and appreciate what the club are doing for their 'customers'.
Most people already get there early with their families and/or mates regardless, and spend their money on food and drink. The majority are still on the concourses while the customer experiences are happening on the pitch. Perhaps things like this compel a few non-football fans to also make the effort which is fair enough.
Yes because opera singers and cheerleaders prematch and other such 'customer experiences' are the only facet of a marketing department. "New concepts" dear oh dear
. I'm 30, so i'm not quite a dinosaur yet I'd hope.

when does close season become pre season ?
Pre season is still effectively close season isn't it? because the season itself hasn't started.
What next to emulate the shower of shit up the road? Cladding the West Stand? American investors?
No. Found it crass
and naff the first time round and we don't need any gimmicks to announce our arrival.

You obviously have a way with words. In my eyes l'm afraid nothing starts until the season proper kicks off.

Have you seen his sister??
Why is everything taken so literal, the comment 'your sister' mean't to mean that they should look above average, as would be expected really.
I have no tolerance for Americanised bullshit at football matches. I've been to American football matches, I've been to baseball matches, I've been to ice-hockey games and thoroughly enjoyed all the pomp and "day outness" of it all. It's brilliant. A huge experience. I don't want it at a football match.
It's why, and I'll say it, I enjoyed Withdean more than I have ever enjoyed the Amex and why I'm dreading our move to PL.
