It's just not as simple as that though, is it?

My post-match WSL (North end) experience was woeful. We didn't want to join the big train queue and are happy to linger, chat and have a pint or two.

But the queue for the train probably moved quicker than the catering queue I was in. Having seen people join the adjoining queue considerably later than I had, reach the front and get served we played the odds and I joined the back of that queue, leaving [MENTION=249]edna krabappel[/MENTION] in the original queue. I got to the front of my queue quicker than Edna who, by this time, had probably been queueing for close to 15 minutes. The guy then proceeded to get me a pint of Harveys - I wanted 2 pints of Strongbow. He then returned with 1 pint of Strongbow and I had to ask for the other one. All the while this was going on there must have been 8 catering staff gathered around a Harveys barrel/keg/whatever trying to get some out.

It was all painful and slow.

After the first pint we headed for the more welcoming (and efficient) environs of the Battle of Trafalgar.

I'm happy to give the club money and I've no issue with paying a little over the odds to do so, but sometimes it feels like a real fight to actually get my money to them.
