The club don't own the catering side anyway.

No but they are party to the contract and should ensure quality, value for money and choice as part of that. To then continually assess it and take feedback on whether their customers to the game are satisfied with it. They can't or at least shouldn't  ignore it.

If you rely on food and drink at the ground for your fill then you deserve the shit you get served tbh. Ample opportunity to eat good quality food at home / in multiple venues on the way. Paying a premium to eat dogshit and drink fizzy lager in a plastic cup is the price you pay for being disorganised / lazy tbf.

Rudkin negotiated a 75 year deal with the worst catering company in the country...

The worse was when the owners gave them free vouchers at Sunderland away. I honestly queued about 40 minutes just to get a free bottle of pepsi.

 Sunderland was a breeze compared to some of the other vouchers, the first time we went to Bournemouth in the premier league was far worse.

 

Boro last season too, running out of beer and food.

 

Back on topic I've never bought in the stadium and never will, I can just about manage 2 hours without having my pants pulled down. Won't even buy from those vans outside either, think that's my OCD kicking in, do they wash their hands in those tiny trailers?

I'd only ever do this if I sat on the end of a row near to those accessible toilets, and had my own personal key to unlock them. ?

Brilliant this. ?

Some people cant even avoid it DURING the game. Now free choice, they've paid for their ticket and all that, but all the same, still very odd.

Always been the same. Food & drink selection in the ground is terrible. I remember them running out of crisps when it was The Walkers Stadium, ffs, you couldn't make it up!

That's how I feel about most of what's served down there.

The burger van at the top of Saffron Lane is decent and cheap. 

 

That's where we always go. Don't get your burger/hot dog/ fries etc from the stalls around the ground. The food is naff and the prices extortionate.

Yeah it's alright. Half the price of the stadium and I bet he still makes good money out of it.

 

The sooner they bin off the clowns doing the catering at the stadium the better.

 

Food is shite

Beer is shite

Very expensive

Shite service - they appear to be stunned every week that there is a mad rush at 3.45. Because of the slow service, more and more people are leaving their seats on 35 minutes+ disrupting the viewing for others. Why someone would miss 10 minutes of the first half and 5 of the second half for the privilege of standing in a queue to hand over nearly £5 for a pint of piss is beyond me.

If you voted for Brexit this, and all other price increases are your fault. We are headed for the deepest depression  in living memory. Everything else I have preducted has already happened- fall in the pound; election to improve government majority and the loss (what else can you call it?) of said election.

All depends on who's land they're on. If us Council land, someone has to tell them (ask nicely, knowing full well that they will not; and ALWAYS ask for the "top man"). That officer will generally then report to the court as to what happened (break inot heigh barriers, dug out earthworks etc) and would then be responsible for putting up eviction notices and liaising with bailiffs and police.  They generally move on just as the Police turn up, after 3 weeks of mess

It's football, it's a rip off yeah, no doubt about it. However, fancying a pie and pint at half-time doesn't make you disorganised or lazy. 

 

For me it's just part of the day and I wouldn't complain about it. If it's too expensive, don't buy it. If you think it's not worth the expense, don't buy it. If you want one and don't mind paying an extra couple of quid then what's the issue. It doesn't make people lazy as a rule.
