They ran out of crisps on Saturday. And Coca-Cola.
It's inexcusable.

I expect the catering manager to use his noggin and get closer to expected figures than selling out by HT. There are shops on Glos rd that boxes of crisps could be sourced from when numbers get low. I wonder if these guys actually look at the figures and make educated predictions?

I was being sarcastic.
Crisps have a 6 month sell by date and are easily procured.
You'd expect the club to hold enough to last 2 or 3 games average sales minimum.

I know. I've got this problem whereby when I say things people always assume I'm being sarcastic. It's really sad. Thanks for being understanding, I really respect you as a person.

Yeah, we had a roaming refreshment thing at the first game of last season*, presumably in response to this sort of complaint. My wife loved it coz they had popcorn. She was all looking forward to the next game, where she planned on buying three tubs of popcorn, and we never saw it again. *Either that or it was just some unofficial chancer trying to earn a few bob. Sorry Antonio but you may have been at the cinema. he must have been at a different ground in Bristol...

LOL it's hard to believe how badly we're run as a club, no wonder we loses so much money as we're probalby even worse behind the scenes! It's almost as if the club forgot the new season was starting.

I have to admit, I did take a look around myself whilst enjoying a beer in the club bar after the game and think to myself "we really are rag bag rovers in our set up". It feels how I would expect it feels at Paulton Rovers, almost as if the club is stuck in the 70's or something. I looked at all of the mismatched tables and chairs, looked at the laminated leaflet for the Christmas cabaret night, the stink of chip fat that stinks out the whole bar and then memories of Santa's grotto come rushing to mind.... To be honest, it is all a bit embarrassing. I also can't help but glance admiringly over the garden fence at the plans that lot have for their club. We are a long long way behind the trend sadly. We are stuck in the 70's - look at the fashion tastes and business practices of our board - they really are a bunch with no idea on how to maximise the myriad of opportunities that drift past them, new ideas on merchandise put forward by the retail panel, shirts for Wembley, kids shirts for the fun day, all the examples on tis thread at the first game back in the league. If we had the support of the average League one or two club they would have taken this club into Admin years ago I'm convinced of it. It's only we have twice the gate of many others that they can be so poorly organised and get away with it, whilst happily collecting the interest on their loans to the club.
For many years I had given them the benefit of the doubt - they are fans, they are doing it for the love of the club etc. - but they have taken us on a downward spiral and not getting the basics right in maximising the earning potential of the club has now taken us to a point where I fear we are on the brink of disaster.
