rossafc92 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I was once charged £8.40 for a hot chocolate and bar of Dairy Milk at Pittodrie. Link to comment
buchanskii Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The service I received from the African gentleman in the kiosk beside Y last wednesday could only be described as lackadaisical. We should draft in those guys from marmaris to serve kebabs, pakoras, pizza slices - they deal amicably on saturday nights with the alcohol fuelled clientele so should cope nae bother Link to comment
Redstar Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 There is a plus side to the African Gentlemen...my loon went to purchase a burger with a fiver and got change of a twenty...doesn't make the pies any more edible but certainly cheered the young loon up. Link to comment
Zeus Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Goit a telling off from a steward at the Partick game for standing next to my old man in the pie queue in the south. Single file only apparently Last had a pie about a year ago, steak, stuck to the foil. Gads min Link to comment
BWG Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Amazes me the amount of folk who need to eat at the football. Survival min. Eat a hot pie and a bovril or freeze to death. Link to comment
dazzy_deff Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Service is shocking like. Has been for years. I missed the whole of the first half of the Motherwell game when they beat us to 2nd on last day of the season standing in the fucking queue. To make matters worse, the pie was fucking shite.

ollie1903 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Amazes me the amount of folk who need to eat at the football.Agreed. They know the queues are ridiculous, and the food is shite, yet still moan like fuck about the food and the queues. Bizarre. Survival min. Eat a hot pie and a bovril or freeze to death.I haven't had a pie this season yet. Still here Link to comment
looksgoodinred Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 i don't understand why, in addition to the kiosks, they can't send sellers into the stands with insulated packs selling hot pies (exact change only)? sell what you have through the stands and go back for more. they'd cut the queues at the kiosks a fair bit i'd imagine as well as making it easier for fans to get pies.

Bluto10 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 canna beat a good pie but you really need a pint to wash it down. Best leave pie eating to outside the football. Link to comment
The Oxford Don Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hibs have pretty much the perfect catering model... all we really need to do is copy them: - Have more, better-staffed and larger food kiosks- Much better selection of particularly hot food, things like pizza slices, hot dogs etc- Wandering sellers during the match like LGIR suggests. I was at ER for the game against Falkirk just before Christmas, and their catering kinda puts ours to shame. Which is a bit of a farce when you consider where the two clubs are at, finances and footballing-wise. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Ajax have the best system.I was thoroughly impressed by the system they employ in the Amsterdam ArenA Link to comment
dave_min Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Ajax have the best system.I was thoroughly impressed by the system they employ in the Amsterdam ArenAIt's the same system in pretty much every decent sized stadium in the world. We've got smart cards to get into the ground, why can't they be used to buy things? You ask for a pie, you swipe your card, they hand you a pie. Takes 15 seconds. I swear at Schalke they served 60,000 pints this way in 14 minutes. Link to comment

Well staffed, great food and fantastic value, you can't ask for much more than that (well you could but you can blame that on the scum of the old firm putting paid to the option of buying a beer at a game here).

Biggest game of the season (league wise) and you wanted to stand in a queue for 45 mins? As said above. I just cant understand why people are so desperate to eat something at Pittodrie.

Foster14 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I've got two free pie and hot drink vouchers to use sometime this season. Might sell them to someone in the queue for a couple of quid. Link to comment

Could still see, just a restricted view. Lesson learnt though I get my scram when j enter the ground now. Link to comment

ericblack4boss Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The service is fucking horrendous, at the partick game I was in the rds, stood in queue before game no lie didn't move at all for ten minutes, the guy being served had two hot drinks that was it, Another annoyance is when a whole family queues, say mum. Dad and however many children they have produced, yet while one of them places the order with dinghy lips behind the counter, the other members who are a queue decide they are in that queue for no other reason than to be unsure of what they want, despite the list of offering being exhibited, at the kiosk and having been stood with everyone else for ages , they have elected NOT to use the down time constructively by deciding on advance of reaching the point of being served, and then hum and hae about what to have, Then upon finally deciding their role in this queue lengthening and time wasting exercise is over, They leave one person to order and pay for the stuff, all this time remaining in the queue as it lengthens considerably, They then decide that they will play a far more productive and positive role in the exercise by carrying said consumables to wherever they happen to be Sat, Here's an idea cuntos, one person queues, right?One person waits OUTWITH the queue at a practical distance for speeding up the task, with a view to hauling the stuff back to the remaining family members who are at their specified seats awaiting the return of the stuff, Ok that would help everyone's enjoyment of the whole sorry process Link to comment
Robbie Winters Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Why don't folk just fork out for an upgrade to RDS dining instead of making a such a song and dance about itYou get in for free drink couple of hours before game, a 3 course meal, ample PIES at half time then more drink full time Link to comment
The Boofon Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm normally too out my nut at the fitba to be worried about eating anything although plenty fluids at half time is normally required due to some crazy disco foam shenanigans. Link to comment
zander Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 We should explore healthy options as pies etc just don't cut it for our calorie counting fans. Link to comment
