Are the owners so desperate for revenue that they are papering over the whole stadium with Cazoo and Nappa.
The nice thing about the Trunity was that they took the style of panelling from the old Trunity. This is now all covered up with the monotonous logos.
They really need to sort out the pre match music and maybe give 30 seconds before kick off to allow the crowd noise.

Catering an absolute disgrace as usual. Maybe the owners should leave their box and 'experience'  the Half Time hospitality us peasants have to put up with

Ticket update

Still hundreds left for the Man City clash.
Thought yesterday's win might bring out some of the 20,000 on the waiting list

Hundreds left, so an attendance mid-week of 40,000 for a televised game. Remind me of which other clubs in the region who've done that in the past 40 years.

[Risso]

I'll be honest, if I didn't season tickets, I'd probably give it a miss. Getting there during rush hour will be a right arseache, and then I probably won't be home until after midnight.

Just ignore him. It's for the best.

Were your chips cold and your beer warm? At least you know your station in life I suppose though. If there is only ‘hundreds left’ before they’ve even gone on general sale in a ground with a capacity of 43000 or so that doesn’t sound too outrageous to me.

[Sdwbvf]

I'd assumed they must be on general sale from the hyperbole. They'll go in minutes.

My chips were lovely and fresh but I hadn'trealised I could have cheese on them. And I don't drink beer so I can't comment.

It is strange that we know that every two weeks we have about an hour (in total) to make catering revenue. And that’s it until next time. And we’ve been fucking it up for the last 20 years.

[Flin5tone]

Tickets for Manchester City are on "General Sale' you just need booking history or be a registered member.

The catering is atrocious and the Football Club must be losing thousands of pounds each match.

For many people the Half Time pie and pint is part of their experience and day out and I've seen dozens of people storm off looking angry and a little upset

Well, all I can say is they’re doing their bit to keep the obesity problem in check. I’m not sure how important a food kiosk at the match should be for most people for a 3 o clock Saturday game, certainly for anyone that live within 20 miles of the ground. Surely you can eat before and after at home, although if circumstances mean that you need something I know that the chippy on Bevington Road used to be good. We used to use it on night matches and order the chicken tikka in fresh naan which was divine although slightly difficult to eat in the street and I remember enjoying it so much that if I dropped a bit of chicken on the floor I’d be as disappointed as us losing the game later on.

It's not essential but it's a missed opportunity.

If they could sort the offering out and encourage fans in to the ground earlier as a result I have no doubt they could generate £10 extra a head no problem - it's two beers.

Do that on average for a full house and you've got an extra £7.5m a season in revenue.

On its own it's not going to change the world, but if the club's going to aim for perfection that's one very easy win.

More important to me would have been getting food and drink at New Street after the game. As it was I got home at 9pm having had nothing since the chips and coke before the game. No time

Yeah, I don't get the absolute burning urge people have to get a 15 minute pint at HT or to have something to eat at 3.45 on a Saturday afternoon. Don't get me wrong, I like eating and drinking, and the thing I like most about 3pm Saturday kick offs is a couple of hours in a pleasant pub somewhere in town and some nice food. I just don't get the burning urge to get more of it at half time

However, having said that, if people really want to be spending more money on food and drink at the ground then the club should be absolutely on the ball and making it as easy for them to sell as much of it as they possibly can.

It just seems to be impossible for them to manage. A problem which persists through owners.
