• Refreshments in the Ground tomorrow

Posted: **Fri Aug 13, 2021 7:38 pm**

I assume drinks, food, twix's etc won't be available to purchase inside the ground tomorrow, to avoid congestion on the concourse ?

Posted: **Fri Aug 13, 2021 7:40 pm**

they were open as usual last Saturday

Posted: **Fri Aug 13, 2021 7:48 pm**

Will there be a fanzone?

Posted: **Fri Aug 13, 2021 8:11 pm**

Fanzone opens at 12

Posted: **Fri Aug 13, 2021 8:18 pm**

Was there much change in terms of what was on sale, last Saturday? Hoping we might have some improvements in terms of food and beers - some local ales etc wouldn’t go amiss rather than bloody Tetleys and Carlsberg!!

All seemed the same to me on Saturday, including running out of hot food 3 minutes into HT

They will never shake off that small club mentality. They would rather under order and sell all they have got with hundreds missing out than be left with a hundred pies at fifty pence a pop cost price. Amateurs.

Yes sadly that is the truth.

The club is run in sections and each has it's budgets. That's the answer when Chris Gibson is questioned about it on twitter.
Not as simple as saying a club that earns millions can take a loss here getting fans local produce for instance.

Bud light is flipping awful.

Well if that’s the case then Chris should be requesting a bigger budget, especially if there’s evidence that sales can be generated.

Hope to see a finer selection of beers but we’ll see. For some context at HT during the Cadiz friendly I tried to order two teas but could only have 1, as they had run out of tea bags... I’m not holding out much hope.

You could always order one of the burning hot pies with the black, burned pastry on the bottom.

Why on earth would you want to buy refreshments in a football stadium, gets yourself into Tesco and get yourself a drink a pie and a chocolate bar.....you'll save yourself a fortune....it's even worse at rock concert....rip off merchants.
And the pies are burnt and the ales shite.

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2021 10:51 am**

wil the fanzone be open?

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2021 11:00 am**

It never crosses my mind to get food and drink at the Turf, it's just not something I go there for. Might get a pie purely for warmth in the middle of winter but that would be it.

It all went downhill when they stopped serving mushy peas with your pie

Is the pie used as a hand warmer Notts

The club get enough of my money, I prefer to support other local businesses for my pre and post match refreshments

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2021 11:38 am**

Just read all the kiosks inside the ground will be open for food etc, no cash payments though.

I’ve said it before, my mate still brings this up every match, I’ve no doubt he will mention it over the next few hours

I agree btw! Plenty of brown sauce and pepper

There is a fairly strong ethical reason why the club may not want to waste 100 pies every game.

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2021 1:07 pm**

Haffners pies are a million times better than the crap they sell in the ground.

Order more and give the leftover ones to the homeless. PR wise, it's a winner.

Hope that Carlsberg is still the beer of choice at the Turf. Need some good news after the result today

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2021 6:20 pm**

1 bar open in Jimmy Mac lower, need to go down there at 30 mins if you want a beer......1 bar open on 1st game of season !!

Scolding hot too, everytime I've had one I've burnt my mouth. No idea how they make them that hot

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2021 6:54 pm**

Not refreshments but empty soap dispensers in the Bob Lord loos. First league game after a global pandemic, I’d have expected simple things like that to be checked.

I fell out with the Mrs last week over the heat of my mashed potato, it was one of those plastic ready made tub ones from Tesco, I swear she put it in for 15 minutes instead of 6, burnt all my mouth

No excuses for that.

There was 2 bars open in JML but they both had only one member of staff operating them.

Aren’t the pies supposed to be oven heated?

Anyway, the service in the JMU concourse today was abysmal. The queue wasn’t particularly long but the amount of time it takes to serve people a bottle of beer or a Bene and hot is a joke. I’m not particularly blaming the people working behind the bar, but surely they can implement a quicker system.

In a nutshell it is a lack of effective management. This is prevalent throughout all of our commercial activities.

I'm sure the quickest way to purchase alcohol tea coffee and snacks would be to put Vending Machines on the Concourse areas.

Hate to say it, but last time we went to bollewood they had it spot on under the concourse. 2 Pinter options to stop people going back as quick, can bars as well and also pre poured pints. It really isn’t difficult.
