Nice to know ends are getting full ☺

 

Already flogged more than Rotherham game.

 

Queing up early for their half time pint?

 

They'll still probably miss the start of the second half.

 

I hope they've got plenty of staff on ...... I just cant possibly last a full 2 hours without a pint and a pie !..Oh brainwave,I'll have a quick pint before the match and grab a bite to eat en-route , cracked it .

 

It's an evening match, loads of people will be coming straight from work and will barely make it to the match on time nevermind supping a pint and calling for/eating some food beforehand.

 

And an awful lot of people will have paid well over the odds to attend the match, which i believe is now classed as being part of the entertainment industry. You know, you attend the theatre to watch a show and half way through there's an interval when people enjoy refreshments.

 

Yeah and loads more will finish work, go home have some tea then have a couple of pints before the match and still need more food and drink at half time ,and to finish it off have a good old gripe cos there's a queue . Kill me now !!

 

The interval at the theatre is usually around half an hour long but the bloody queue is still a mile long and £4 a pint for the pleasure . Why people bother is beyond me . My dearest always takes her biggest handbag to the theatre . Chin chin !

 

I have the solution, 1 hour half time interval. But then some would complain about not time to get 3 pints in?

 

Up until around 10-15 years ago people were paying to watch a game of football, at an appropriate cost: you didn't expect much else. Things have now changed dramatically with the hugely inflated prices. Heated seats at least.

 

Or waitress service like a trolley dolly . Or even like the staff in the cinema used to do throughout the film , go down the aisles with their torches selling refreshments .

 

That's not a bad idea actually Get a load of burgers made up and get someone to stand with them at front of stand near pitch, same with bottles of pop. Beer can't be sold that way of course because of the law but I bet they'd shift a load of stuff that way to people who can't be bothered to go to concourses/don't want to miss the half time entertainment. Of course the problem has never been that they can't sell enough though, more that they don't have enough to sell.

 

That's exactly how they do it at German matches......not forgetting the bloke that goes around with a barrel of beer strapped to his back

 

You can drink (alcohol) in your seat at the cricket, rugby etc etc in this country, but not football. Pretty damning indictment really.

 

They could come down the aisles or the concourses with their empty trolley in front of them shouting ....WE'VE GOT NOWT LEFT ! .
