bobby1413Royal Ginger Enjoyed it today but spent whole of half time queueing on the concourse. The agency staff need better supervision.
This has been going on years. What is it like as a home fan at bigger clubs?
How do Chelsea/Man United/Liverpool fans get served at half time? I don't know why it's so bad. It's hardly a shock is it... They don't suddenly get caught off guard as 6000 fans (or whatever) come at half time.
Maybe they should sell bottles or something? I went to the Olympic stadium (West Ham ground) over the summer for a rugby game (it was shit), but they had massive buckets everywhere with ice and bottles in where you just threw £4 at the person next to it and grabbed one. It took around 1 second to get your drink.
...
On a separate note I bought a beer at the bit outside the east stand and also a bottle of water. Water cost £2.10 - nearly had a heart attack.
It's not even the pint pouring speed that was the main issue (although it was a issue), the big toothed woman with no name badge (which i assume either means she's agency staff or can't be trusted with the pointy end of a badge) dithered over which button to push on the till repeatedly. The kid last week got his phone out to start doing calculations when the till seemingly surprised him as it popped open.
I use agency staff in a catering operation and yes 8/10 of them are hopeless, that's why they get given the carrying tasks whilst the regulars use the till. It's bad supervision. I got a real bee in my bonnet about this yesterday.
