    I mean not to annoy people further (that’s so not me) but these are the prices for home supporters in the “main” stand at my nearest premier league club…

    Until such time as we start serving beer in bottles the service will always be an issue.  Give the beer in bottles and have one person taking the money then sales and service will go through the roof.
    And it probably wont taste like p~ss

    Surely Yeovil Town haven't leapt into the Premier League !

    I think it's how the brand of cider they sell spells it. Doesn't make it any less of an abomination, though. I'm only letting them off because of how reasonably priced their white coffee is.

    Be interesting to see how the catering is at West Ham and Spurs.

    Spurs have machines that pour pints through the bottom of the cup in about 7-8 seconds. It's what you'd expect from what is probably one of the top 3 stadiums in Europe.
    Our lot can't even pour a pint through the top of the cup!

    The whole food & drink offering needs sorting. The beer being pre poured for god knows how long is not good and should not be required. If the coolers can’t vend the beer quick enough without foaming get bigger coolers. Had the chicken & chips in the fan zone and I think it was about £14.00 it was ok but ffs £14.00 ???

    Short of gutting out and starting again, in every way possible, nothing will change as it has been going on for too long now.
    All the while people still continue to hand over their money things will stay the same.  The only way to make the club have a rethink is if fans do the sensible thing and not use the kiosks.

    Noticed the Venison burger place in the Fan Zone has gone yesterday and replaced by a Halloumi Grill, maybe they decided it's too overpriced? 

    Did try the Jerk Chicken place which I have to admit was pretty good actually, it's never going to replace my love for Chicken George but was very tasty, and far better than the food in the ground

    Apparently there was no 0% Peroni or similar anywhere in the ground yesterday.

    Tried one of the Burgers in the North Lower Kiosks…
    could have played ice hockey with that puck! £7.95 for a hard roll, tasteless and solid burger patty and a scraping of burger sauce - really bad! 

    Genuinely don’t understand how the catering lot get it wrong time and time again, year on year! Over priced crap food, that would be somewhat more palatable if it was a few quid- makes a McDonald’s cheeseburger look extravagant

    Tried the tipsy bakery, cookies were good, biscotti pie thing was a bit dry. 

    Is the merch kiosk usually open ? Seems like a absolute no brainer to have one open from a hour before the game.

    You say you don't understand how they get it wrong. All the time people like yourself keep buying it, means they can keep buying the cheapest ingredients, the lack of qc in the preparation and the hiring of the cheapest/not trained staff.

    If everyone stopped purchasing both the catering compnay and the club would find better alternatives.

    Until this occurs we stay on this same cycle we have been on for years

    Why should fans have to stop buying? Surely it is incumbent on the club to provide decent food, drink and service? Why should we not expect it when tbh we get to experience better on just about any and every away trip these days? It really needs sorting, especially if the club are serious about being “Premier League ready”. At present we’re still way short of “Championship average”

    One thing that's struck me ... you can't buy a coffee without joining the (usually long) queues for those who want beer.

    So you don't bother.

    Isn't there value in having 'coffee only' or 'food only' selling points alongside those which sell everything?

    Even beer only. Plastic bottles. Fast moving queue.
    So obvious….

    You can get a good coffee from Perkalicious in the Fans’ Bar

    Nail on head, Weegie ! 

    It isn't "just" the catering issues but also the incredibly poor level of communication from the club on just about everything thus far this season. It is unacceptable & treats the regular fans like after thoughts.  

    Too many tick book exercises , no joined up thinking, not listening even after asking for our matchday experiences etc etc. BIG ideas but lack of thinking them through properly. 

    Somthing needs to change before it's too late & the taken for granted lifeblood of our club say "that's enough"...

    Just ask a certain Belgium resident  :|

    Because the club are not taking this seriously or they do not have the knowledge of how to put it right.

    Too many times and too many people in CEO,Marketing, Catering, Charlton roles have said this season (over rather last 20 years) we have learnt from the past and it will be better, and nothing changes.

    Gavin Carter made a lot of statements on this issue 12 months ago, and yet here we are again. Says a lot
