There's a 3rd set of stairs around block b
Isn't that just an exit though (should know because there the ones we use)?

While they're at it can someone re-design the nightmare that passes for the bus park and ride site? With people having to walk in front of the Mithras House buses someone's going to get killed before too long.

I think the ESU is pretty damn good. Only slight problem is the TVs seem to be place right next to the blokes causing a bit of a jam but it's nothing i'd get too worked up about. Them stopping serving at 5.10 on Saturday was a little odd though

I want the concourses redesigned to be exact replicas of the one in the West Stand at the Goldstone... especially if they start selling Wagon Wheels again.
This.
It seems to be a case where aesthetics (the overall curved design of the stadium, resulting in the narrow ends you mention) have won out over the practical aspects of managing crowd flow. It's a real bottleneck when you've got people going in one direction coming into the stadium, people coming in the other direction having had their drinks/pies/piss and going to their seats, and lots of people still queuing or drinking in the middle. Not a lot that can be done really, other than perhaps moving the screen away from that area, moving the sales points towards the centre, or making it harder for people to stand and drink at the ends (taking the side counters away from that end, so there's nowhere to put your drink, and increasing the number of counters in the centre of the concourse?).

- Don't get how different parts of the same ground generate such different experiences?SW corner is excellent (since the change of caterers!).
Have not yet failed to get the 3Ps (Pie, Pint and Piss) all done and dusted before the restart!

The West Stand Upper will vary depending on where you sit, so i'm not supprised it varys round, The WSU and the North possibly have the largest amount of pre/half-time/post match drinkers causing more queues for beers, pies and the bog.
The staff for me are the main issue and each till should be manned by two people taking double orders, they basically need quailty bar staff who no how to manage a busy bar running and serving the place, however thataint ever going to happen, we have 16-20 year olds trying their best, but not quite good enough.

I would like to see Topless Barmaids and a waitress delivery service to your seat, that would reduce queues!!

If you are talking about the mobile stalls then forget it, theyre even slower than the main kiosk. Usually one kid who has no idea how to poor abeer then spends 5 minutes fumbling in his bumbag for change.

But they are "beer queues only" for which you asked for.

No mate, its just a queue.

They had a really slick operation going in the North Stand concourse on Saturday (west end). Plenty of pints of Harvey's pre-poured (but still fresh) and short queues.

No one that good would work once maybe twice a week nor find enough of them.
I've found those who rush out early end up in a que, I stroll out when whistle goes wait a min then in the loo.
It's not that much of a hard ship it's a football stadium not a restaurant I don't know why so many have such high expectations.
Having re read my post I'd like to make it clear this isn't aimed at the quotee.

Sounds like heaven. We had untrained drones wandering around behind the tills .
This is no lie but apart from 2 games this season every server I have had has said '' sorry, it's my first day''. I keep wanting to say'' guarantee you it's your last as well'' but I just don't have the heart.

Isn't it a shame that 18 months after the stadium opened, the catering still has do many issues.
