Harveys Beer Stations at the Amex

[John Byrnes Mullet]

Where have they gone?

The club are making a big mistake if this is the future. I Would rather go without a drink than drink Fosters piss water.

In the West Lower there is normally a 50 person queue at half time for a pint of Sussex. Last night there was no queue for Fosters.

Fair point you can buy Harveys at the tills but they pour it 30 minutes before half time and it destroys the taste of the beer.

Also to mention Guinness was available at the drinking stations but has also disappeared.

Hear Hear.
East upper I went for a half time pint and was really happy to see that the beer station had no queue, until I realised it only had fizzy water. Bring back the Harveys.
I went without.

They often aren't there for night games.

Due to the weather I've been drinking my own beer outside before the match, which I can only assume is where they've been keeping the Harveys barrels as the last two I've had at half time have tasted of acrid piss.

 

[Uncle Buck]

The temporary Fosters stand in the WSL ran out of Fosters on the stroke of half time.

 

[Notters]

I imagine this is (again) due to the lack of students available to staff them?

I think that I arrived there just after you, as the lad behind the bar handed over the last half pint of pish, to the guy in front!

" You had one job to do, and you fecked it up".........How difficult can it be to organise having enough beer for a football match. Surely, if it doesn't get sold at this match, it'll go at the next? Or is that too simplistic an answer?

That half pint was undrinkable.

No (stand alone) Harveys pumps in the West Lower either, just very bored looking students waiting to serve some Fosters to non-existent punters. Strangely, there is a little kiosk on the west lower that only sells Heineken (which is, imho, a far nicer lager than Fosters). I'm sure the caterers know what they're doing

 

[Uncle Buck]

I never really understood why they got rid of the bottle bars, as these were perfect for a half time drink.

A pint can be a bit of an effort in 12 minutes and with bottles there was no delay as no pouring to be done.

 

[The Birdman]

It was the same in the WSU however the queue for the pie and a pint has a Harvey's pump that helped a little until fans realised.��You could buy a ��Without a ����

They used to have a couple of lads walking around the concourse with backpacks of beer ... that made so much more sense than the current set up too, but i guess that's why they got rid of them

Yes. I was also thinking it was more to do with staffing issues as anything.

 

[essbee]

Five minute wait for Fosters sh*t in the WSU because the barrel had to be changed. I mean ffs.

I think you mean 'the caterers'. They're the ones responsible, not the club.

Are the club not in a position to question/challenge the Caterer's about products they sell and unhappy supporters? If they can cannot then who negotiated the contract must be questioned.

If we had not challenged the club before the opening of the Amex then Harveys would have never been sold at the Amex.

I think it's very poor that if supporters challenge the club over poor catering issues then all we get back from the club is 'ooohhhh its so bad' but its the Caterer's fault not us.......

The decision - in this instance - on the beer station is the that of the caterers. They are simply fulfilling one of their obligations - to sell Harvey's. How they do it is, within reason, up to them.

It's just that you're blaming the club. Questioning the club - which of course you can do is you want - is a separate issue. So if you're unhappy, write to the club and the caterers and tell them what you think. One thing is for sure - they won't do anything if you only write about it on here.

what's the caterers address / email ?

That's why it's temporary.
