I was, utter madness.

I have a friend who owns a bakers shop and he tells me that they only put in the oven what they know they will definitely sell.  I pointed out that if they only ever put five of whatever in the oven, then how will they ever know they couldn't sell six?

I think that the whole thing is geared more to avoiding waste than it is to making sure customers get what they want, especially as it isn't like what they don't sell today they can sell tomorrow.

Maybe Bruce could have taken some home?   ;D

Here's a (possibly stupid) question, does anyone know if "paper" tickets scan at the turnstiles from a phone or do i definitely have to print it out?

I always use a print out but some on here have confirmed that using your phone works too.

They work on your phone. Just make sure your screen's brightness isn't turned down, that's the only issue I've had.

There is currently ONE seat available for the Everton game if anyone on here fancies moving fast!

Cheers all. That's one less thing for me to forget.

I always feel catering is never maximised.  In the same way I'm sure that adding more staff would more than cover their costs given how many more beers they would sell if the queues were shorter.

Alcohol would be an interesting one, because you can at least take your food to your seat if it takes you all of half-time to queue for it, but alcohol you then have to watch the match on the TV until you're finished, which probably puts some off.

I almost never have a pint at half time because of the queue.  If the wait was just a minute or so I'd probably have one most games.  I'm sure there must be loads of people in the same boat.

Absolutely - went to Allianz at Bayern and got served twice a pint at HT. At Villa I didn't manage to get one served before 2nd half kicked off.

They best re-open the bloody kiosks and stock well up on pies.

Five matches in a row I failed to get a balti pie last season, five!   >:(
Five?  I'd have been fuming.  There's no excuse for that.
My pre-match ritual is a balti pie and a pint (or two). You may have been lucky to miss out on 5 pies in a row last season...some of the overcooked burnt concrete offerings I received in the Holte were beyond a joke! I won’t be mugged off with a dodgy pie so got replacements or refunds a few times...and the catering staff look suitably embarrassed that their thick as pig shit colleagues can’t heat a pie at the correct temperature.

I was really expecting the Spurs stadium to be much better on the service point.  Pints already poured and served in seconds by an army of androids or something.  Instead it was the usual motley crew of minimum wage temps.

I got in using my phone for every game last season. I did have a print out just in case though.
