    Good news but had to chuckle at the choice of wording in this paragraph!

    The announcement follows feedback from supporters in an attempt to improve the quality of the products on offer at home games – the standard of food previously had come in for plenty of criticism. :)

    Tiffin reminds me of the Tiffin cafe on Valley road where the Shipley travel coach picked up for away games, Happy days

    Our last co-owner pissed this company off with his rediculas demands, they were goings to revamp the kiosks etc and provide a decent product as you say a Bradford company from humble beginings, well done Ryan/ Davide for not accepting the norm and bringing a new local company in.

    I believe Tiffin are owned by Doug McLean who also owns loads of Bradford pubs (City Vaults/ Lord Clyde/ Ginger Goose/ Old Bank/ Headley Golf Club) and he is one of the key drivers behind getting Market Street pedestrianised. Looks like he's set up a new company for this called Tiffin Stadium Co.

    Great that it's gone to a man/ company that has such belief in the City as a whole !! :)

    Suppose it will all be down to how the service goes. Will it be quick which means burgers etc sat there waiting or bit of a wait but fresher. Hopefully they can get the happy balance so people are t having to leave ten minutes before half time to guarantee service

    Are the bar kiosks separate or are they just one for burgers and beers?

    Your post has connected and resonated more with myself than that from the football club. A background, story, journey of a local business(man).

    Why couldn't the club await a completed kiosk, with examples of food displayed, pricing etc before putting out a half baked menu?

    Reconnect.

    Can it be any worse than the last caterers, the service in the 2012/13 suite was poor can't imagine what its like in the midland road/Bantams bar etc.

    I know for a fact they'd love to have their products on offer, but have previously been unable due to the terms of the commercial agreements in place with alcoholic beverage providers.

    Is it? Really poor offering for me. Its poorly timed, basic bluster.

    Not going to get into an argument which I know is the purpose of this but having spent a big part of my life in this sector and I think we have got on board with a great local company.
    Of course you won’t please everyone because on a once or twice a fortnight venue it’s impossible to do so but for those that want it the food and service will be good

    Not an argument pal. That first line is unnecessary and deflects MY issue here.

    It's concept is basic Imo. I don't purchase fast food often so what is on offer and how it is portrayed to the CONSUMER is important. I amongst all, am a consumer and I'm disappointed. Reflects badly on Sparks watch.

    If a new convience outlet selling this type of fare was to open up in an existing premises at a venue you enjoy, highlighting it was selling burgers and hot dogs with a picture holding a couple of boxes, with promises, what would your initial perception be of this outlet be? An area in Filey maybe?

    As for the local business buy in, I'm good for this.

    Have a good day

    They have lead with typical food stadium Fayre tiffin sandwiches have a broad range fulfilling all catering needs no doubt they will be available if there is a demand the purpose of today’s announcement was to reveal the tie up not set out a detailed menu

    You are correct on all counts. They also run the Tiffin Coffee houses which are really nice.

    They did have a deal agreed and a company set up with James Mason until Edin scuppered the relationship. That damage has taken some repairing but it's great to see a brilliant local brand working with the club
