Looks like the catering has been upgraded for this season.

Here is another nice old advert.



One of my favourite ads of all time. Looks contemporary.

I think this was for the Super Cup game.

Looks like all the kiosks have been rebranded, hope the service is better too.

Out of interest, what time does the ground actually 'open'?

I will be there earlier than usual tomorrow. Tempted to actually try to eat / drink some of this improved fayre.

   That Nike ad was so evocative, just as they had started to get into football.
   Love the type face of the numbers on that shirt.

Found this earlier and had forgotten how Hummel used the same few templates for teams and just changed the colours.

Upper shitting Trinity. 35 gone, need the big boys' room anyway, people going out, I join them. Not driving, so decide to get a beer while I'm down there. As my drink finally reaches my hand, the music announcing the return of the players strikes up. I would say it was unbelievable, but it wasn't. Just same old, same old.

The staffing levels in the Witton are criminally low.

I can’t be bothered to relay the whole story of what I thought of the “supporter offer” from yesterday but suffice it to say we’ve got a looooong journey to sort out the issues at the club. It’s quite frankly amateurish.

It really does seem like the experience is down to where you are in the ground. I thought the service in the Holte Lower was absolutely fine, managed to get food and beer with no problem 30 mins before kick off, and then another beer at halftime without having to leave my seat early. Also thought the Pale Ale was a vast improvement on what we’ve had before, had one bottle and one on draft and both were fine!

It's just terribly designed, just not sure what can be done.

North and Witton have excuses they're older stands and hemmed in. Holte has much more space on concourse. Poor for Upper Trinity though with the stairs up taking half of the space and so it feels very congested when there's a full house up there which will be most games this season.

The bottle bar in the UT is as big on its own as the rest of the refreshment counters combined.
