    If little demand won’t be as many staff, the recent good run of form means more people going - football fans are a fickle bunch

    i think Rolands a wanker as much as every other Charlton fan. but a few 1000 extra people being in attendance is going to affect waiting times for catering outlets.

    Those games are miles apart.
    Plenty of time for the caterers to train up extra staff so they are also proficient at;

    Not knowing how to use the tills
    Not knowing how to use the beer pumps
    Failing the H&S course required to use the boiling water device
    Jamming up the lil printer on the card reader
    Not knowing how to count
    Not knowing how money works
    Not knowing what a Cornish Pastie is...

    what happened to a complete boycott of all purchases at the valley

    i only ever buy a ht pint which is hard to fuck up but in north upper they seem to be proficient enough

    not that it is an excuse but they are minimum wage agency workers max 4 hours on a saturday at the minimum wage not going to be that skilled.

    .

    I think you just answered your own question.
    i have never said that i was going to boycott, i have given my st up and may of attended a few games this season with a ticket that does not suit my age, i think as a fanbase their is a lot of " im only attending away games " and " not a penny more "

    also on something like a pint they probably are making 50p which he is welcome to i have a beer with my mates at ht as its part of going to football for me.

    I would never buy in the ground,take a flask for ht,buy tea for £1.00 outside ground,chips for £1.80 in church lane,far superior,with regards profit margin,Witherspoons sell s for 1.99 pint,and make a profit,he will be making at least £2.50 a pint.Bottled water at cash and carry is around 20p a bottle so once again prices are extortionate applies to crisps and snacks)all clubs are the same.

    With kids for a quid type games, a lot of the newbies do seem to buy refreshments.

    "Right son, off to Charlton"
    "I don't want to go"
    "I'll buy you a burger"
    "Oh all right then"

    Couple of things:
    Spending at the ground is prolonging roly’s toxic pantomime so don’t do it FFS
    The catering shambles is contracted out so there’s virtually nothing CAFC and its absent management can do about it.
    Whatever your views on either of the above the available fare is overpriced ullage at best. Needing booze before or during games is indicative of bigger problems closer to home than douchebag’s or Delaware north’s

    I’m not sure I buy that not spending money in the ground/on tickets is “prolonging roly’s toxic pantomime” anymore.

    It seems as though the one of the main stumbling blocks to a takeover is based on the high asking price, which I am assuming is linked to the desire to recoup losses. Therefore not spending money and increasing losses leads to a higher asking price which in turn reduces the chance of sale.

    Yeah, I'm not judging, people are free to do as they please.

    I recently had my mum send me over CAFC stuff for my son, some of which came from the club shop.

    For the true Roland Dutchelet dining experience have an overpriced horseburger slapped between two soft half buns with a slosh of tasteless ex onion with a dash of Best Bargain red sauce, whilst half a dozen chancers sing "Roland Out" four hundred times...

    Food and drink at football grounds has always been overpriced s***.

    Eat/drink before and after the game to ensure better value PLUS his lordship is not getting any dough.

    Simples!

    I drink at half time to make the football enjoyable... It seems to be working more this year!

    When we had seasons tickets,I had to do that bribe with me little girl for awhile when the Douche 1st turned up...but it was a hotdog,in the freebie games we get too...she is more than happy now to get one outside from the burger van as she knows I won't put a penny more into the club at this time...

    Saw ‘blimey’ being used on this thread.
    Anyone know the etymology or origin of the word?
    Clue, it’s normally ‘cor blimey’.

    I was told the answer by a teacher at my school about 15 mins before he told me my grandad had died, which is why I’ve never forgotten it.

    To each their own but don't know why you'd bother.

    Long queues for shit beer and shit food at extortionate prices.

    Plenty of places to go before and after - rather keep my money in my pocket to go there.

    Never understood the half time pint scramble. 15 minute break to queue up, get a shit pint and down it before the next half starts.
