Well done Elliott, officer material there I think.  I can't believe that they manage to sell so much food of such a dubious quality. I do think increasing the price of a coffee from £1.20 to £1.50 is pushing their luck though. Not if people are buying it all (as described by the comments of running out of food etc). Supply and demand - although I would guess supply is a little short. The burger van oustide the DR's does a decent enough burger and a Burger King is just over the road. Most grounds provide poor quality, it's what you get in a strange set-up where they effectively only have about 30 minutes in total of selling time.

I agree with what you're saying - my surprise is that people continue to buy the crap on offer.

I very rarely buy anything in the stand now as the prices seem abit stupid, I used to have a bovril or something in Winter but with things like that costing £1.50 it's a bit stupid. I don't really understand our matchday pricing policy if I'm honest, with matchday prices £22 and the price of food escalating it seems as though they are trying to subsidise the good season ticket prices by overcharging elsewhere. I think the boards strategy is to spread the cost more than reduce the overall costs so if season ticket prices come down something else will go up and so on.

the arkells is loud and piercing on the ears.those that can hear fuck all are better off. has the catering improved?i dont think it has. the coffee is vile and luke warm,the hot dogs smell awful and i wouldn't feed it to my dog.and i bet those cunts serving dont wash their hands either.
Some of the workers don't know how do add. Nearly everything they advertise in the South Stand, they don't sell. There is always a queue of people waiting for chips to be cooked, then they only get half of cup.

soem of the people selling look like they dont know how to wash let alone cook or add up! the adverage age must be 12?  On the rare occasion I buy a hot drink I end up trudging round the stand trying to find adequate amounts of those little milks - Mr Elliott will vouch for me on this! I bring my own goods from home!

Did anyone fill out that survey they did a while back? I did, but I must admit I haven't bought anything at the ground since.

I filled it out. But last season was a little tad better than now. They didn't do any of my suggestions, boo.

Quite a few people have been complaining about the food going up in price and portions going down
They ran out of Burgers & Hot dogs in DRS just before half time and was giving out hot dogs in burger buns for a while - very poor - and why dosen't the food counter at the end of the DRS do chips but they do all other food ?
Do you mean the one right in the far end, the town end, of the DRS. If so that is meant to be for the disabled supporters, perhaps they don't like chips!
