Precisely. A summary of this event could be "Parent of the year, raspberry nominee, makes mistake and then compounds by stupidly informing a wider audience of his error." All very odd! In other news, I had too much Chinese last night and slept badly because Sodexo food ran out so I was starving having skipped breakfast. Clearly sodexos fault As I was expecting to luncheon at the Amex yesterday.

Legal obligations aside, the club must be losing a lot of income, from not having enough drinks stock on site, for match days..? Would this put people off, from going again?
I'm sure bottled water keeps for more than one game, if stored right!

I'd stop digging if I were you...you've made two mistakes, three if you count abuse, and unless you contact the club directly that'll be no.4. Really that was all there was to it!

Dicks was a shambles early on yesterday.
They poured 3 pints of water before any guinness came out for my first pint!
Then a member of staff tried to put 2 glasses of wine into a pint glass wtf!

I can't make out if you're suggesting I do or don't contact the club but it's been pointed out on here numerous times that they are interested in the catering and travel threads as it affects the "matchday experience". Anyone reading this thread intelligently will already have gleaned that:
- the experience between stands, kiosks and individual servers is different. Might just highlight some training needs.
- some serious cash may be lost out on. Take the emotive bit out of my post (and kids do make you emotive) and you'll see that the club could have made a LOT more on drinks yesterday (and Paul Barber is very fond of telling people NOT to bring your own food and drink but to buy from the club).
Were you one of the guys that passed me wearing a "Dad of the year" t-shirt and clutching a 10 litre bottle of water? Couldn't move for 'em yesterday

OK, maybe you could have played your cards slightly differently, but total respect to you for doing your level best to keep your young son hydrated on the only fiercely hot day at the Amex that we're likely to get this side of next Summer or the Summer after.

PS: Did anyone try/notice that the beer stand in WSU now offers you the ability to pre-book drinks for half time. Bit like Theatre bars for the interval.
If you pre-book then you just join a collect queue at half time and hand over a voucher.
Did anyone try it ? Did it work ? Did it reduce queues. ?
(I didn't try it in the end but it seemed like a smart idea)

Was that facility even advertised in any meaningful way? First I for one ever heard of it. Not seen anything on here either
It's hard to thing of the club being so money driven it gleefully rubs it's hands together selling water as fans are close to passing out.I can't make out if you're suggesting I do or don't contact the club but it's been pointed out on here numerous times that they are interested in the catering and travel threads as it affects the "matchday experience".

That's certainly not the case in the ESL as I'd imagine all the free water being handed out probably stopped sales.
Probably keeping it low key so they can see how it works.Was that facility even advertised in any meaningful way? First I for one ever heard of it. Not seen anything on here either

I don't know. Agreed. First i'd heard of it.
It was advertised prominently at that particular drinks stand at least. Perhaps they were just trying it out for the first time to see how it goes.

Are there discrete lines at the bar for Amex card holders? Think i saw it advertised in the programme but havent seen any at the ground
Catering - no water on the hottest day of the year.....How about if the Headline was..Father takes eight year old for afternoon out on the hottest day of year without ensuring the lad has adequate to drink[/U]
What would people say then?
