The Albion Roar - 8th October - Richard Hebberd & Elliott Moore

[Keyser Söze]

Could Richard Hebbard quash the conspiracy theories that he is in fact Gary Glitter.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

What happened to the thai curry?

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Let Richard Hebberd know that so far the Stewarding has been excellent in the East Stand. Low-key and friendly. Not what some of us (i.e. me) were anticipating based on some events at Withdean. And I think the East Stand has worked as the "Respect" stand.

The steward on D entrance seems a good guy.

 

[The Large One]

can you ask mr more why all there food comes in from brake bros and not locally sorced when all the bull was banterd about also why they employed a chef with no stadium experience at all

Just curious - what does that last question have to do with anything?

 

[Soul Finger]

Is the potential drop from the front of the West Stand Upper being investigated at all?

Few people still concerned.

 

[Mackenzie]

I'm not sure whether this is within Mr Hebbard's remit, but please could you ask him if there are plans to extend or create a new park and ride facility to help serve any future stadium expansion. Could you ask if the club is happy with how the transport issue is working out, and if there are any changes to be implemented.

Al:

Suggest that you ask Elliott Moore about Kiosks on the approach to the stadium from the station and P & R bus stops. A lot of people have said about there not being chips available and I can understand why. Could they not operate a kiosk / Burger Van similar to what they had at Withdean serving chips and possibly bacon rolls and or hot dogs and burgers.

This would not hit the sales in the stadium because it would encourage more people to buy snacks who wouldnt normally queue for ages in the concourses to buy a limited selection of hot snacks and there is already a small burger stall outside of Falmer Station which appears to do well. Obviously if run in conjunction with the existing facilties it would bring in more revenue to the club.

1. Good post
2. Happy Birthday

I'd like some reassurance from Elliott that the more adventurous food options originally promised have not been shelved. Nor indeed put on the back-burner. That Thai green curry would have been very welcome.

The Piglet's Pantry pies are indeed gorgeous. But not everyone wants the same thing week in, week out. One easy to serve option would be high-quality, prepacked sandwiches à la Pret à Manger. And with the colder weather coming, a couple of decent soups would surely be popular. How about it, Elliott?

Finally, well done to all concerned with the East Central Brasserie. Excellent menus, quality food, nicely served, decent atmosphere. I'll be back.

Richard - any plans to increase the number of 25 buses running post match (i would be happy to get these back to town, if i knew they were available post-match) oh and well done on the low-key stewarding (from what i've seem anyway) and a double well done on the post match bar opening thing - this is SUPERB and please don't let a bunch of numpties from S london ruin what has been a really positive and friendly initiative.

Elliot - please please please increase the numbers of catering staff working on match day. I find it hard to spend my money in west upper because of the lengthy, slow-moving queues.

I think that's more a question for the Transport Manager if he comes on for a show, rather than stadium operation.

Otherwise, yes, my comments are exactly the same as les dynam's. The stewarding in the ground has been brilliant, I've stood in the North and sat in the East and West without ever feeling that I'm constantly being watched by a team of nutters looking for a reason to throw their weight around. I LOVE the pies and Harveys - just make sure there's enough of it and we can get it quickly!

You can ask RH if emailing him is an effective way of communicating with him.

I can honestly say no it isn't I have been trying to contact him for weeks and he never replys

about what ?? we will ask him !!

 

[Oscar]

To Richard: Is there any plans to open Dick's Baron non-match Saturdays? I was in the club shop last Saturday and loads of customers were asking the staff why it wasn't open. I think it would be very popular.

Also, where's the spicy noodles?

 

[Beach Hut]

I can honestly say no it isn't I have been trying to contact him for weeks and he never replys

Which is just plain rude in my view, like MP was away and no auto-office saying on holiday so perhaps the club management should have a lesson in Microsoft Mail ?

And if his answer is the predictable I get 300 mails a day haven't time why does he have a PA ? What do they do all day ?

Would it not pay to put one somewhere North of The Amex Stadium, In or around Lewes as I am sure that would ease the load of Mill Rd and probably Mithras House plus the approach road from Brighton and the A27.

 

[The Large One]

Any more for any Moore?

We're recording tonight, so get your comments in, please.

Q to RH in light of the 5.30 kick off time on the 15th. How does the segregation in the South Stand work when the away support is less than 1,000 ? Is it netting over a block of seats and a row of stewards ? Metal shutters dividing two sets of fans ? When is the decision made to release extra tickets for Albion fans to watch from the South Stand ?

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Park and Ride.

Having used Mill Road (poor unless you arrive hours before the game) Mithras House (Better) and Racecourse (IMO best option of the three but for those of us coming from the North of Sussex means driving throgh the City to get there) it is clear that the only solution to the very long queues is for more busses to be made available. (Don't let him tell you that all Park and Ride Qs were clear in half an hour, that's just rubbish. After Palace it was an hour.) If there's a long Q and it's moving it doesn't feel so bad. Oh, and count people onto the busses so that the bus is full. (After Leeds and Liverpool busses left half empty with people still in the Q)

The three queues were all merged into one, all up the stairs (until the stewards decided that was unsafe so the Racecourse Q was moved back to where it was previously.) Frankly the Park and Ride system isn't working as well as it could be. I know it's too late for this season, but how about next year move the 1901 parking over to the Uni, move all the disabled parking to Bennetts field, and with the spare space at Bennetts field increase and improve the Park and Ride system.

Finally, so far this season (and I've been to every home game) I haven't yet been asked for a single travel voucher, either to or from the Amex at any of the Park and Ride sites. Should I bother to buy a book of vouchers next year?

Elliott: Lovely though they are, are there any plans to rotate the pie fillings?
