Not awoke
Did the staff sing “we forgot you were here”
No they sang “Fast food eating champions, you’ll never sing that”

Bit off topic but The Harveys Bar in Dicks Bar was a complete shit show today.
People who didn't know how to pour a pint or change a barrel from the very minute it opened.
I gave up in the end.

A steak pie from the NS, the best ever. Not soggy at all, so zero mess onto clothing!
One complaint based on greed …. I wish it was 50% bigger
.
NS kiosk staff were still astonishingly slow. Spending 10 minutes with the extended family in front of us.

It might appear that not wrapping pies anymore, and just having them sitting there in their cardboard sleeve are drying the piglets out. No veggie pies at my nearest kiosk (but that’s usual) and I think I saved myself a fiver tbh because everyone else commented on how dry they are getting.

Several tills weren’t working. Out of say 8, 2 or 3 out of action. Making queues that much longer.

It's always slow until the students come back. Never enough staff. Queues were as bad/slow today as they have ever been.
Despite the horrendous looking queues, the teams in the Harvey bars outside have really got the process cracked. Very efficient. Maybe they do it more often at other events because it’s a world away from the general shambles and lack of urgency at the concourse bars in WSU.

I had a chicken balti pie , seemed to be smaller than before , not as tasty and very wet , sauce not thick enough
against Luton had a sausage roll again seemed smaller , not as tasty as last year , seemed to be less seasoning
both were a little disappointing

Chicken balti pie in the NS was heated to a reasonable pie-eating temperature, unlike the molten furnace level of same v Luton hurrah. Also the extraction of pie from sleeve and placing on to paper napkins before eating prevented Lutonesque levels of down-front spillage. PBOBE IN!

I’ve discovered the hack go to the piglets kiosk. Pie served hot in a full bag and tasted delicious, unlike the pies from the general kiosks.

I'm not surprised they were slow, they were surprised to see you in the north, you are a Weststander!A steak pie from the NS, the best ever. Not soggy at all, so zero mess onto clothing!

The food and service are always worse when we lose.

Next Saturday we play Newcastle. Kick off is at 5:30 pm. Can someone inform Sodexo on Monday morning that this event is taking place so that they don't run out of food.
I guess they plan it another way. Rather than think, 31500 supporters will need x number of pies, pints, hot drinks and crisps (and after 10 seasons they should know x quantity) they base it on 50% of required staff can only serve 50% of x therefor only get in 50% of the food. Upper concourses now close at full time so why waste having food left over. Staffing issues I understand, heck, anyone employing low wage staff understands. But give the staff you have something to sell.
Week one I had the very last pie at 2:35 with 100's still waiting.
Hammers I got a pie but no Bovril or Cheese & Onion crisps, the latter two would keep for a month anyway so an obvious item to over stock.
It may seem a very minor thing but if you have only one job, to feed 31500 supporters, then get it right.
