The power to change things is in your own hands....Why not, the night before a game, put an extra pie / burger / sausage roll in the oven. Sleep with it under the duvet to keep it lukewarm, transfer to a sweaty sock to transport it to the ground. Wait until half time and then moan about it whilst moaning about everything else you can think of (including the overflowing bog). At least you'll save the queue and you won't be able to complain about the price.Nobody ever complained about standing in the river of pi$$ whilst buying a BV burger. Although to be fair, it was a better burger
That's a great point Wes although on the pop side there were 2 huts yet it didn't feel as long and the food felt better and hotter..Wether that was an illusion of the mind because I hate being taking advantage of I don't know...But you could stand and watch the game/half time entertainment while you waited... You could also buy a burger and Bovril after 50 mins of the game,a concept alien to the current set up...That's progress for you..
Sorry to harp on about this but another reason for queues in West Stand is that not all outlets are open pushing more into same outlet. The one nearest to South Stand is never open - I'm pretty sure there was a promise to have them all open

I went down for a pint on 42 mins. One person in the queue in front of me.I eventually got served with 3 minutes to spare before half time. The lager needed changing, but no one knew how to do it.Bought a bottle of lager instead, and it was warm. Lad said the fridge was broken and had been for weeks.I keep saying never again but I keep going back.No doubt we've had more letters of praise this week so the club won't care.

It's utterly ridiculous, that. No outlet in the world should be allowed to get away with problems as fundamental and ridiculous as a broken fridge for weeks on end, or nobody knowing how to change the lager.
Interestingly I I had a pint on the South concourse today, I don't normally as Ive had enough of the catering there. However a couple of comments, the fronts of the pumps telling the customer whats being poured have gone and been moved to where the staff can see them sorry centreplate that is b*llocks its the customer who is king and wants to know what they are buying and what you a pouring along with alcohol % etc not your untrained staff (although to be fair I was served in a timely manner although it was early on)However price list says Lager 3.40 pint there is no mention of brand or anything it just says Lager you could be getting asda pisswater 2% proof! below that it says Budweiser £3.50 a pint now interestingly I asked for a pint of lager and was charged 3.50 errm I didn't ask for Bud I asked for lager I would suggest that the price lists and signage could actually be illegal

I don't know what the answer is to this customer service shambles, but at the moment it feels like it's worse than it's ever been. And for everybody that says "it's a football stadium, not the four seasons" I say b*llocks. The knights appear to have it nailed down and it shows with the amount of people buying food and drink there.Surely, surely there is somebody at the club that can try to get a grip on this? It's costing us money, pure and simple. As a business we can't afford to lose customers!
Looks like plenty of examples to form a discussion at the next Meet the Owners event on 11 Sept
