Be good to see independent local vendors there, do you know if this is the case or it’s all club catering, bar etc? i should imagine it’ll be who ever does the catering already or they could be breaching already signed contracts 🤷♂️ It's separate from the in ground catering contract...........

Average is very kind. It's dreadful IMO and any of that filth in the fan park would seriously drag it down IMO.

He said to me it would be independent vendors, because I suggested the whole craft beers thing but I'm not sure about the licence issues. The aspiration was definitely more like a music venue with independents mixed with some volume suppliers. I have a lot of faith in him to get it right.

They missed a trick with Ricardo's, should have called it Fullers and got the massive London brewery on board.

Have many season ticket holders moved to this safe standing section does anyone know? Got to admit find it strange the seats are left in position. Cost more money to take the seats out, also if we ever qualified for European competition again (unlikely i know) you need to be all seated nowhere have i seen who have put safe standing in have removed the seats. Oh right that makes sense.

I thought when it was first agreed the club were talking about independent outlets. But I don't know. They were also talking of bringing all the catering in house too. All the catering is already in house - it's run by ABM Catering, which is owned by the Coates family.

I would hope there is a chance eg for local breweries to have a stall and Carling will be limited to the stadium itself. It makes no sense to build a new outlet and just to hand the stalls over to the current contractors without them putting in a bid.

The food & drink offering throughout the ground is horrendous and the corporate f&b isn’t much better

Does it matter what the beer is when it just gets thrown in the air?

Have they started to build the new fan zone yet. Isn’t it meant to be ready for the start of the new season ?
