The catering is a joke, even in the upper Holte where there's plenty of room it's not worth even trying to get a pint at half time unless your're prepared to miss some of the match. In the Doug upper it's not worth trying even before a game. It's ther most ridiculous catering facility I've ever seen at a sporting venue.How much is a multi pint pourer?How may more sales could they make per match if the queues were significantly shorter / quicker? Surely the maths has to work? Imagine if people had time for a pint AND a pie at half time?

It’d pay for itself, but not in one fixture.
I wish Nicky Keye was still around to make all this go away.
