Queues in WSU north bar were made worse by lack of tills,two staff were taking turns to operate 1 till.
Cold pie today. Waited 20 mins at half time for pie. Then finally got it, also tried for food before game, only chips on offer. Staff member didn't care less.
In summary. Sort it out, terrible. Spoke with senior steward, was that peed off, will the board listen. What a disgrace
You got a pie? None at all left in ESU half an hour before kick off. In fact, the only food they had were those inedible hot dogs that taste like plastic. Never understand why they just don't make MORE PIES.
Agreed, no pies whatsoever in ESU at 2.30 pm and whilst I do understand that is nothing to do with the supplier ( PP ), someone needs to take responsibility for this recurring failure. Anyone with an ounce of common sense should realise that a sufficient number of pies should be organised, that is sufficient not only for pre match but also half time and post match. Someone needs a kick up the backside !
No pies so I opt for a cheeseburger - total rubbish hence never again !
I was caught myself wanting food that was unavailable in the ESU at 2:30 but how can it be a recurring failure, that's the first time this season they have been open and they did get more stocks before kick off and at half time.

"Recurring failure" quote:
I think Ferring mean't that this happened last season and the season before. This "recurring failure" is why many choose to drink and eat elsewhere before the game. Unfortunately we have to get our beverage and pies at the ground at half time. What is so hard (after two full seasons) calculating that you need to have enough kiosks, staff, pints previously poured say 5 mins prior to half time, a steady supply of pies READY etc.
The club are after making money, but seem hell bent on missing out on a handy windfall at half time.
But it's a new company so they need a little while to get it right surely
NO Martyn, NO IT IS NOT A NEW F@CKING COMPANY.
It specialises in stadium catering, it is NOT a new company. Please stop defending everything about the bloody catering when it is indefensible.
It's a new company in the Upper East concourse. I got up there at 14:25 and I have never seen queues up there so long, everyone wanted food at the same time, I don't think many had arrived early for sure. As we got closer the food just disappeared off the heaters, Dad and I got the last steak and ale and last veg, I wanted 2 burgers. 25 minutes later people were again passing us with pies and burgers, they got the estimates wrong and had the correct food up there but not at the correct time. After the game there were loads of everything again.
I doubt that will happen up there again they clearly lost out on money so I am willing to give them a little time to get it right. I am not kidding the queues were right across the concourse, everyone wanted food at the same time.

Sounds like this was your first Albion match. Queues in ESU were no different to last season. Of course everyone wants food at the same time...they are all attending a football match that kicks of at 3pm...
