Commercial failings

[Pete3206]

What's this card only bollocks in the Witton Upper? Short queues in 4 or 5 lanes for card only, then a long snaking queue for cash payment. Plus, the staff were as slow as ever, so none of the changes made it any different. Still, they now call now call it 'The Founders Bar', so I guess it all great for the brain stormers who came up with that one.

Lower Holte here: I was quite excited reading about the new catering: turns out you're virtually snookered if you don't want a meat pie, hot dog, unappetizing looking chips, fizzy drinks, Cadbury's chocolate bars (horrible since they sold up) or a bottle of beer.

35 min wait in the queue for a pint upstairs  in Holte Suite post match.

More beer taps and more staff and they'd double the beer sales.  It's money just waiting to be spent.

Or if you actually do want a bottle of beer as they only had cider left when I queued.

It's been a couple of months since anyone posted on this. How's things going for people around the ground?

Prior to Saturday (Brighton), the UT concourse had been the same old, same old; chaotic queueing, no organisation, game time missed.
But on Saturday, it was different. Nothing unusual about my timing, got in just after 2.30. However, I was confronted by servers actively asking people if they required serving, then taking their order and payment before handing over their purchase in an expedient manner. It's almost making me consider turning up earlier next time, and not because of the old reason of that's how ridiculously long it takes to get a coffee.

I went to the Club Shop on Saturday and I've never seen anywhere so busy. They must make thousands on match days, absolutely eye opening.

Where is my Welcome Pack?

That Chicken Shack thing is such an expensive thing. I had a halloumi wrap and a bag of crisps - £7.50 for goodness sake. What a rip.

That's the one concern I have - once the novelty wears off are enough people going to want to spent the best part of ten quid to stand on Trinity Road every match?

You're right. For all the different (but not that different really) options and the piss that is Purity, you go forwards extorting money from your customers, you lose them.

Purity isn't piss, though. Certainly not by comparison with what we've had before.

I had a pint of Purity pre match, it had improved immeasurably to be drinkable

Have we changed our Pie suppliers? I had a Chicken & Mushroom today and it was awful

[PeterWithesShin]

Wes made them.
