    Just curious what exactly is ‘extra pouring equipment’ that the article references? 
    More pumps? Someone with 3 hands?

    I guess that was my point. Wouldn’t you just say ‘pumps’ if that is what they mean?

    Could it be something in the back room to speed the pumps up too?

    Hopefully it’s guys with ‘Backpack pourers’ - so much quicker - 30 seconds a pint

    Someone with the ability to use 2 hands would be an improvement

    A couple of non alcoholic alternatives are the nice little cafe in Charlton Park, or buy a bottle of water in the Co - op in Charlton Village and then get a small portion of chips in the Charlton Village chip shop. If raining eat the chips under the sheltered bit at the back of the Co-op.
    Alcohol in a hip flask if needed.

    That chip shop is great, I'd always go in there after a night game before getting the 54 home.
    The wedges used to be nice as well.

    Not just pumps but also probably the coolant, the couplers, more gas, possibly bigger/better generator etc etc

    There was me thinking a pump is a pump. 

    So maybe G&G have agreed to spend on infrastructure on the basis the contract presumably benefits them if they sell more?

    Strange it’s not something they thought to do before. 

    But it all helps I suppose.

    Be interested to know if the club are now being charged more for this by G&G.  Was the original contract for far too few resources?  Or have G&G just been taking the piss in trying to eke out every last penny?
    I think they pay the club to occupy its bars rather than the other way around. I don't know if the club receives a % of the income.

    Pre-poured pints will help with the wait time. But with the skillset involved, I can just see them sitting there from tonight, tasting a tad warm and flat come tomorrow!

    Two queues then: 
    - pre poured
    - I'll wait

    😆
  • AlwaysneilAlwaysneil
    Two queues, those that want to be sure their drink, however foul tasting, is all from the same pump (waiters) and those prepared to take a chance on snakebite
  • ElthamaddickElthamaddick
    Whole new bar open in the NU and a lot more people behind the ramp 
  • GreenWithEnvyGreenWithEnvy
    Not seeing pre poured in AC stand but queues seem to be moving quicker 
  • ChunesChunes
    The beer is coming out faster, which helps a lot.

    Anyone got the Kenneth Williams gif?

    Much better in Fan Zone today in terms of speed of service. Beer in 3 or 4 mins as opposed to 30. They had pre pours ready to go. Good stuff. Hats off to Gavin Carter for swift action.

    Noticed the fan zone was being advertised as being open at Half Time yesterday…

    did anyone utilise this? How was it? 
    How did it work with tickets and ground re entry?

    I wondered the same...would be great to hear of anyone's experience of using it?

    I noticed that fans were let out to the Fans Zone at half time for a drink and bite to eat. Seems like a good idea to relieve the queues in the west stand.

    This is a very good idea, hopefully they'll make this a permanent fixture.
