Next time the FAB meets club representatives, can they ask for an explanation as to why, against Young Boys and Bournemouth the tea/coffee/pie outlets in the Lower Doug Ellis stopped serving before half time was over?

We're desperate to raise revenues to meet the various financial models that affect our ability to spend on players, so why are we turning down money like this?

I know it's not a huge amount in the grand scheme, but as Asda keep telling us "Every little helps".

The club always seems to be poor in food/drink outlets, the ten hour Back To The Beggining concert had sold out of food everywhere within two hours.

Another question should be why exits were closed in the middle of the upper DE, funnelling all fans to the exits at the ends of the stand.
Why on earth would you close exit’s and stairwells and cause bottlenecks of people all trying to make their way out of 1 narrow set of double doors.

I’m sure H&S would have had a view on it.

There was also an issue getting into the Upper Holte last night because the security wand metal detector wasn't working so a female security person couldn't search anyone male and vice versa meaning a turnstile had to be dedicated to women only which was causing the whole entry process to slow down. Having only one of these things seemed a bit amateurish.
