Should be a bottle of brandy to get over the shock of this season

Should be a baggy of heroin if you ask me.

Due to my long held beliefs I am more than happy to give my drinks token away.

I truly believe that Heineken is K9P.

I will however, drink a toast with some proper stuff to all H&Vers who have, in an otherwise depressing season, been a source of wonderful entertainment. God Bless every one of you.

A lovely gesture but there's no way I'm getting into VP an hour before kick off, especially to drink that piss.

A decent gesture but not so appealing for a Sunday midday kick off.

Good gesture on the face of it but ruined by timed window. A not so good offer after all.

Good for you.

You are a beacon of enlightenment to we lesser mortals who prefer to be pissed or stoned or preferably both.

It was a free drink. Yet still people moan.

Without a time window, and with  a shit kick off time, if they'd not put it in pace everyone would have rocked up 15 minutes before kick off and moaned they had to queue.

Possibly, but the time restriction did seem a little excessive. I was in the ground half hour before KO but that was still too late so had to pay for my beer. They could've also used half time to spread the demand.

Anyway, on that subject, and I don't like to moan but the service on the kiosks is absolutely appalling. It takes two people to serve every customer, one takes your money then stares into space for two minutes whilst the colleague slowly wanders around getting your order, all the time a big, frustrated queue is forming. It's laughably poor.

We went through the turnstiles a couple of minutes after the 11.15 cut off and was told they'd come and taken all vouchers off the turnstile operators bang on time. Tight gits.
Didn't buy anything, rarely do, which is why they probably whipped the vouchers away when they saw me coming to be fair.

Apologies if the answer to this has been posted elsewhere but does anybody know how many supporters actually claimed a drink.
A nice gesture by the club but from a personal point of view I would never be looking to get in the ground that long before kick off but appreciate it is an important part of the day for some folks.
Not a fan of Heineken I have to say.
