    But you don’t get the luxury of a carpet that your feet stick to at VP?

    Neverspoons is off my bucket list!

    There's running as a business and then there's taking the proverbial piss.

    The stadium owners that have the catering rights, WHU make a very small percentage on concourse catering. Lounges and dining are another matter however.

    I love swilling beer, it's a great past-time. However, I don't get the attraction for drinking overpriced crap lager in a plastic glass stood on a cold concrete concourse.
    A cup of crap warm tea does me, then a gallon of beer after the game.

    Really. £4 for a beer and £3 for a burger. Fairly reasonable. Depends on the burger though

    Not great prices but par for the course at sporting events and entertainment venues so, in that respect, we’re only doing the same as others.

    I took the family to York racecourse the other week and that was a fiver for one can of Dark Fruits. Burgers were over a fiver.

    city is a bargain by comparison.

    are there no longer chips in the Sunwin? One of the USPs for selling a seat switch to the kids was chips lol

    I wish we’d do cheesy chips. Not like that place that puts a cheese slice on top, but grated cheddar. A tray of those at HT would be a winner. Perfect filth for a ht footy snack.

    How much are City charging for a lager? Don't see many pints out and about for under £4 these days. Even for brands like Carling it's around that price.

    Agreed. If you went anywhere else you’d struggle to get a beer and burger for £7

    Why were most of the drink and food kiosks closed in the lower kop.

    Big queues causing unnecessary congestion at the one near the entrance, very poor.

    I couldn't believe it, really poor planning. Hundreds of people trying to get outside to smoke and hundreds of people trying to queue up at the kiosk by the entrance, it was completely unnecessary and could have been avoided if more kiosks were open.

    No hot drinks today! WTF. I always have a pre match Bovril but today no can do.

    One lad ordered a cider next to me and they gave him Carling instead :eyes: as there was no cider on sale today!!

    And the pies were not yet warm enough to serve-this was at 1.45-the gates opened at 1.00pm the pies should have been heated up and ready for 1.00pm

    Honestly not right impressed so far.
