oafc0000 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Don't give them ideas! Is it not then ? I have seen stewards march over and take crisps off little kids... Have me the impression you was not allowed to bring in your own food and drink... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Dosent make it right You could get weapons grade plutonium into BP EDIT: Or was that a Balti Puka ? reminds me of my lst visit to the nou camp, me and the boy were made to hand over our bottles of water, whilst the lad behind us was allowed to simply walk in with what can only be described as a surface to air missile! (Ok it was a flare but boy was it a big 'un!) Utter madness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have me the impression you was not allowed to bring in your own food and drink... As far as I'm aware there is no such rule, except for the banning of cans and bottles for safety reasons. I have a feeling the main stand (and half the Chaddy for that matter) would be empty if they banned people from bringing their own flasks and fruit pastilles!

The following articles must not be brought within the Ground - knives, fireworks, smoke canisters, air-horns, flares, weapons, dangerous or hazardous items, laser devices, bottles, glass vessels, cans, poles and any article that might be used as a weapon and/or compromise public safety. Any person in possession of such items will be refused entry to the Ground. Reading that I would suggest a flask would not be allowed... or any drink for that matter... Crisps and butties looking good though I am just going to take my own pie in future Edited November 2, 2009 by oafc0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling the main stand (and half the Chaddy for that matter) would be empty if they banned people from bringing their own flasks and fruit pastilles! your not allowed to take cans in as you could use them as a weapon,i know at other places they make you take the top off the bottle first before going in??? i always take a bottle for me n the lad,and some sweets for him as i got fed up of not having hot food or drink available before and during half time...if you take a bottle same as what they sell how can they say you brought it in??? they dont give you reciepts at the kiosks do they. i can honestly say over the years the standard has steadily dropped,and the pies have got smaller,i remember being able to buy a pie the size of a cloth cap at latics and them always tasting good.... i think its high time the club started using specialist caterers like martins of even gregs or hanburys.....like has been said they must have noticed a downturn in food sales over the last few seasons.

leeslover Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Obviously this will lengthen the queue and speed up the sell out of food, but that's what happens when the crowd increases and everyone wants to be served in a 15 minute interval. Out of curiosity, how many people can be served in 15 minutes in the most efficient of food outlets? There have been ideas floated to help though, A couple of mobile vendors could do the front of the stands, a standalone beer bottle kiosk could go behind the RRE, there are ways and means.

I go to gigs and you have these blokes walking around with beer things on there backs dishing out beer... Would reduce queues for people who want food... It ain't rocket science is it...

Would reduce queues for people who want food... It ain't rocket science is it... And would get impulse purchases. If you were 50/50* about having a pie or a beer and someone walked past you flogging them you would most likely go for it. *Obviously if you were unsure about wanting a pie and a beer then there would be something seriously up with you, I mean if you pain of queueing was weighing against it.

Standards slip everywhere when you have been stuck in a :censored:e division for 12 years... Security/Stewarding is not exempt... Its clearly against the ground regulations...

In this instance I'd say it's more a case of applying obvious common sense rather than poor stewarding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Now, I really don't want to upset everyone here but I managed to get a pie at 3.15pm yesterday and I was sat in the Chaddy End :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics_Fanatic Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Dont know whether its been said but at halftime in the main stand at the counter nearest to the chaddy downstairs, they had no pies for 15 minutes because they had put extra in the oven. But they were still taking peoples money and they were being forced to stand in the rain waiting for their pie, missing some of the second half. Absolutely disgraceful catering! - Makes you wonder if they'd stocked up on all the pies in the RRE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alwaysablue Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) I tried to buy a hot dog just before half time but was told whlst I could have the hot dog there werent any buns left to put them in. Kind of makes sense to buy as many buns as you have hot dogs right...or is that just me. Edited November 2, 2009 by alwaysablue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
