I find this thread amusing, interesting, frustrating, annoying and promising... in equal measure.Those of us who patronise the catering facilities at the KMS on a regular basis are probably 90% in agreement that it is not working satisfactorily. Personally, I've gone from finding the service mildly amusing, to rather frustrating, to very annoying and ultimately completely inept.I'm one of those idiots who thinks that buying ANY product or service from my beloved club is ultimately benefitting that same beloved club.OK, call me naive, but that's how I am.But I have absolutely reached the end of my tether with the abjectly incompetent catering service on offer in the West Stand concourse........and believe me, I have a really long tether.I wish I lived in Donny and could attend this meeting because I am prepared to put aside my total frustration with the inept catering service and offer my positive suggestions, but I can't make it as I live some distance away.I can only hope that the catering supplier, along with our trusted representatives on the VSC, can have the goodwill and enthusiasm to really try and sort this out, because it is a serious failing in the club's attempts at customer satisfaction.It really is just not funny anymore.End of rant....
Listed below are the issues I will be raising at the meeting. Anyone else like to add to them. (I just know I'm going to regret putting that)1.Half time Refreshment Bar closed at half time2. Running out of pies etc3. Number of till open 4.Running out of beer 40 minutes before kick off5.Vending Machines6.Slow staff at tills7. Chocolate Bars
Why does Dean not simply attend the next home game , spend time on the concourse and talk to people in the queues , no need for a meeting then , he will get all the info he needs and see the staff in action for himself.

Is he REAL???He does attend games. I spoke to him whilst stood in the queue before ko against Middlesborough.
Rovers should take it on themselves. Source everything locally. Create a micro economy. Be the first club to do it.

Be the first club to do it.Would be good if feasible ... and if we get the Knights into the "Club Doncaster" arrangement we could do worse than asking for their inputOK only 1200 there on Saturday (and everyone does not eat / drink) but they have it off to a fine art. A bar that is 71 feet long helps and loads of people (efficiently) serving from 30 or more Pumps and doing a good job ... £3.10 for "real" BeerThey make their own Steak Pies and that come to £4.95 for a Cow Pie Chips Mushy Peas and Gravy. Personally I have Chicken Curry and Chips which is always very tasty very hot and a fair old portion for £3. Queues form of course especially at half time but they know its half time and are ready. One takes your money up front and several dish out the grub (which also has Sausage Sandwiches Baked Spuds Chips and Gravy and lots more. It is a REAL pleasure to give them my money and I look forward to going there knowing I can get good quality food and drink - in fact I always PLAN to eat there - whereas at Rovers despite being a STH for many years I always plan NOT to eat / drink
I see what your saying Bobjimwilly but this company provide this service for a lot bigger sporting arenas than ours...I bet when they were running the Etihaad they couldn't get away with the incompetent attitude they show to everybody from there own staff to us the fans.....After looking at there website they are happy to shout out there mission statement of "Treat guests like your business depends on it"...And just when I thought they simply couldn't make themselves look stupider.....
I want a cow pie now.
