This is an interesting watch.. a chap who visits grounds around the country and reviews the matchday experience (atmosphere, food etc)

To be fair I thought some of the scores were generous!
He didn’t catch us on the best of days though in terms of atmosphere - as he says, those quick fire goals really sucked the life out of things.

Perhaps someone should make sure Tom G sees this. They’ve been banging on about improving the match day experience for us. Now they can see how their efforts stack up against other clubs…when you add in the monotony of repetition of this poor quality match after match they should realise just how far they’ve fallen short. Remember when our pasties were the envy of the football supporting community? This expensive, tasteless and poorly filled pie/roll fare is just one of the many additional embarrassments we’ve added to our grim basic facilities on offer.

Piglets Pantries got quite defensive when this review was brought to their attention. They don't seem to take criticism well |

The video pretty much sums up why I never purchase food from the ground any more. Big queue, cash only, no cold drinks apart from water, overpriced pies and pastries that claim to be award winning but are actually mediocre at best. If the offering was a bit better I’d happily pay and support the club rather than spending money elsewhere.

Not seen the video (yet! Looking forward to watching this evening with great interest) but Piglets Pantry started off great but I’m pretty sure I picked up food poisoning from a gourmet sausage roll preseason 19-20 and since covid it hasn’t been great.
I’m sorry but the match day experience is going downhill. Improvements have made it worse rather than improved it in recent years.
I love technology and work in what most would describe as ‘IT’ but the new ticketing systems are a farce rather than a benefit.
At the ground catering is getting worse, staff at the huts seem to be largely disinterested and disorganised (at least they got rid of the stupid double queue system on the East Terrace nobody followed)
Efficiency of security at the turnstiles is poor at best - against Newport they just weren’t paying much attention, or at best indecisive and pointing people around without any real organisation. They let people pile up instead of directing them into small sensible queues. It’s havoc.
Haven’t used the bars since covid so can’t comment.
If this was a bog standard commercial company I wouldn’t be back.

I saw Smiv at the Newport game walking past the club shop.
Love his videos. He does a lot of non-league as well as bigger clubs, and enjoys the old-school atmosphere at smaller traditional clubs.
Shame he had to visit us before the new stadium is built. Of course he'd be a very old man by then.
Not surprised Piglets were offended because they have a great product, but sadly it's destroyed in the nuclear cooking and drying out process at the Mem.

I personally enjoy the cheese and onion pasty every home game. More so in the winter months when I cradle it for a good half hour before consumption. The heat always proves a lifesaver.

Well that was a depressing watch.
The board should be sat down and made to watch this.

We were rated lower than Ware FC, Brentwood Town and Bromley and every other ground he's visited this season. Not surprised the match day experience at the mem is awful. Bath City's twerton Park is better.

Very annoying voice but fair play for making this video, not enough coverage like this of lower league clubs.
Summary of the experience was as expected, terrible ground, pish poor food thats so say award winning! and awful facilties. Sadly until we get get things moving behind to scenes this club will never progress and lose supporters for generations to come because of this.
1000% this should be shown to the board, we are bless to have thousands of loyal supporters turn up week every week at this dump and with out them this club really doesnt have anything to offer to wider audience.
