Another one in a long list of reasons for knocking the whole thing down and starting again somewhere else.

All catering suppliers across many spaces are having huge issues in recruiting, retention and supply chain, after suffering massive losses during the pandemic. It is no excuse, but as ever there is context. They should have been prepared. Compass. Free school meals during the pandemic, Marcus Rashford? Ring any bells?Working conditions.Cleaners salaries.Living Wage.They're shithouses of the highest order.

Thinking back to Everton away this year (seems a fair comparison, same teams, early kick off). The away end was ridiculously overcrowded on the concourse, however, in the Lower Tier at least, they managed to service all thirsty punters by half way into halftime. We even went back for a second. I believe it was just bottles of either Carling or Carlsberg, which is nobody's favourite, but when you're drinking a pint in the surroundings of breezeblocks and exposed poles from a plastic cup, you're not exactly going to be writing up tasting notes
A splendid article Dave. Well said.And as for the local public transport on a match day ...... there is indeed much to be done.
How many people could a vending machine service in the half time break?20 ? 30? Even if you multiplied that by x number of machines it would be just a painful as it is now.If people can’t get themselves into the ground, I dread to think how they’d manage confronted with a vending machine that has multiple options in it.If the catering service is crap, don’t use it…..maybe the message will get through the next time the club issue a consultation paper.
I remember as a kid in the late 60s/early 70s when the choice at the tea hut when you walked in the Witton End was was tea, bovril, plain crisps with a bag of salt in and wagon wheels.

More often than not I would have a pie. Fleur de Lys I think they were. Cost about 20p.
