It's not just getting a beer in any case, it's getting served anything.

As I’ve mentioned before the system they introduced in the Lower Holte seemed to work well. Basically order and pay  for your stuff at a terminal then collect from the bar. We normally drink in a pub but used it a couple of times for an evening game or an early kick off and it’s perfectly fine. My assumption was that they would roll that out to the rest of the stadium.
They used to do this in the lower Trinity for your fancy coffees - capuccino, late etc.
So instead of one long slow snaking queue , you could experience 2 of them. It didn't work .

Serves people right for drinking ‘fancy coffee’’.

We had a 'posh' coffee kiosk in the UT pre-relegation. No queueing then.

I’m still of the view that the Upper Trinity Concourse is the worst for queueing. The Witton Lane is the worst for space.

The Witton upper queues are ridiculous. No doubt Sunday it will be one long queue again like they're lining up to get in a concert . Then someone will have to explain that's not how it's done.

Yeah at least in the UT there is room for a queue.

Barely. Isn’t it also the largest of our spaces with over 9000 seats? It just isn’t big enough for that many people.

I wonder what the refreshment offerings were when we got 76k back in 1946.

1946 we were into 7 years of rationing, with another 6 or 7 to go.

People were used to being hungry.

Plus the rationing made them thinner so you could squeeze more in.
