Stewards not receiving usual food vouchers

Basil Brush came up in conversation the other day and I, quite innocently, asked if he was still alive.

Cue much laughter and derision. 

I was, of course, referring to the fella who used to appear alongside him in his show back in the 70s/80s.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Honestly. 

I can understand that completely, I was in bits when I heard Zippy from Rainbow was dead (Roy Skelton who provided the voice) 

 

Also I once accidentally started a riot in a bar (The Attic) over Lenny The Lion. The lady I was with said he was one of Keith Harris’ puppets. I said no, it was Lenny Bennett (stupid guess with same name but we were both wrong). This was pre settling an argument on your mobile phone googling so we went over to a few tables to see if the could settle the argument. On one table a guy said “Yep Keith Harris”, the guy opposite said “ No it wasn’t you ****”, guy 1 “Don’t call me a ****” and throws a bottle. Next thing you know the table is turned over, bottles, glasses, fists and food flying all over the place. I walked back to the bar and said to the barman “It’s not Keith Harris”,  looked over my shoulder and saw a Wild West saloon brawl in full swing, bouncer up from downstairs, broken furniture and in the corner the lovely old boy (Maurice I think), still singing and playing his tranquil Somewhere over the rainbow !

The answer was Terry Hall by the way ! No, not the one from The Specials.

On aside, what are these vouchers for? The crap, unhealthy food at the ground? And why are they given in the first place - a perk of the job, or a genuine concern that a steward can't prep food around work? I assume stewards are on zero hour contracts?

You've got to have a Pukka Pie in you before you stop one of our pitch invasions.

I mean, if I was given a voucher for that shit I’d probably just go home 😂

“another guy with some weird hair who walks on the pitch in the rhythm of Bob Marley, Fatawu whose decision making lags more than a dial up stream, Thomas (no comment here) etc.”

Absolute belters, which I will steal with pride and recite in the pub later 👏👏👏

‘Additional supply arrangements’. I would speculate that due to the dwindling attendance numbers the club is reducing the order of pies and other confectionery in concourses. However, they realised (probably at very short notice) attendance will be likely higher as versus Derby just for tonight, and removing stewards free meal meant they could ensure they could have more available for fans. 

Don't make sense there is probably about 100 stewards at most right

[Pita]

Do our management have a clue at what they are doing    Piss up in a brewery comes to mind

I've not worked at LCFC but worked at Anfield and Tigers in hospitality and they both provided a very basic meal for all of their casual staff on concessions, in the bars and stewards.

 

All on 0 hour contracts, but pimarily I don't think they want people bringing in food, so they essentially have to provide it. Both those places cooked big vats of pasta for everyone IIRC.

Useful to know - thank you!

Are these stadium food vouchers come with cancer warnings like cigarettes?

The worst part of this is that email, (which could have been written by a 5 year old) was genuine communication from a professional organisation to its employees.

Unbelievable, I was certain based on the lack of writing ability that it was a fake.

Whilst it doesn't change my view on King Power, Top and his cronies, are we 100% sure it's legit? 

 

Obviously I don't want it to be and it's not a great look if it is true, but the email reads so badly. Maybe I should be thinking that if could actually be true with that being said

 

 

 

I'm not convinced but happy to beat them with any stick someone hands me tbh

Tonight we might surpass the 30,485 'attendance' vs Watford

Not being funny but turning up for a 4-hour shift of paid work and expecting to get fed as well is a bit mad.

That's seriously not a good look for the club. I wouldn't be surprised if those that took the pizza got in deep shit with the club.

Skipp, Okoli, Faes, Thomas, Stolarczyk, Fatawu, Ayew don't even turn up for a 2h shift and they're paid some thousands per hour.

I was a steward for 10 years up till covid when I couldn't be arsed to go back when the crowds returned, food vouchers were never even a thing.

 

On the odd occasion some bits were left over from the kiosk which everyone was welcome to but it wasn't a given.

After "Covid" everyone is vulnerable, millions claim they have mental issues and they're full of entitlement while HR and employers are protecting them like toddlers. Why do you think this country is heading straight to bankruptcy?

I'm saying their employment status changed after 2020. It happened everywhere. And my comment is absolutely related to what you've posted whether you like it or not.

Does make you think what’s next to be stopped, Top has really saved a few Quid this Christmas for not giving out a free beer and cake as a Christmas pressie from KP No fan zone last couple of games, what with not giving wages early for the staff now stopping food for stewards makes you think what’s going on behind the scenes and why Top hardly makes an appearance has he pawned off the jets and chopper but what’s next No Loo rolls in the lavs  No clappers ( please get rid !!🙏) ??😉

 

[jimsmallman]

Did anyone at the game last night think about asking a steward if this voucher thing was actually true?

 

I mean at least some people got some pizza out of it. The difference in meaning from discussing pizza and Leicester City between now and ten years ago…
