burger van at ground

Someone should bring up this vital issue at the fans forum.

Quoted from Dan

Someone should bring up this vital issue at the fans forum.

They would need to be fat though.  Just to prove they know what they are talking about.

And also it would add some weight to their arguement !!!!!!




TAXI  

Why the hostility towards to initial post?  

This is just another example of how poorly run the club is and also how many fans have accepted poor service and/or quality over the last few years.  

Just because we are a non league club doesn't mean we have to put up with non league facilaities, does it?  Only recently FiveStar has gone public with this we must have faith speech and how the club needs stability and be sustainable.  Well how about allowing some initial outlay to be used to get the pre-exisint facilities upto required standards and get some decent food made ala Kidderminster.  I don't think it would take too long to get the money back and start making a profit.  

Instead we allow the pre existing kiosks to become unusable and stand their geting rotten whislt we ship out to some fairly rubbish company that fails to spell cheese, and, provides a crappy product at over the top prices (sound familiar).

In fact, the whole thing sounds familiar, money isn't spent in the right areas and we end up bringing something in  without an affinity to the club that takes our money and lets us down.

Those who are dismissing this as trivial are in a way correct, but back to my earlier point, we shouldn't be accepting anything substandard in Blundell Park - whether that be stewarding, beer, food, or, the football. We let this go and next thing the bars are outsourced, and something else and something else all with not a single sign of it being for the better, or just as importantly, the money coming back to the club.

All those further up saying that the gentleman should either take pack up or wait a couple of hours.  Well that isn't always an option if people have come straight form work, or football, or elsewhere.  Those saying he should go to Maccies - yes let's encourage our fans not to spend their money inside Blundell Park!  I know the kiosks are a seperatle entity but surely this is another example of the club losing money.  No wonder the budget looks so bad and we hope for a cup run if we can't even make some money on selling decent grub!

I would only correct one thing, the van will have to have tendered for the site so he will be paying the club.

What went wrong, well at a guess (and it is a guess) the guy tendered too high so he's trying to make his profit out of buying crap ingredients and flogging them at a high price.   You apparently can get a happy meal and a drink at McDees for the same price as the burger van is selling a cheeseburger.
I might say that I consider neither of the above to be decent food and prefer my Haddock and chips from the local chippie before I set off for the game. Can't beat a decent haddock. However some of the junior Icenians have been known to risk botulism by munching a pie.

I'm sure the club did follow procurement rules and the best (in terms of value for money and quality) tender subsequently won the right to sell food at the ground and the club receives an appropiate fee.

I suspect one of John's mates was offered the contract for a small fee - this of course is only alleged and my opinion.

Also I would agree that the fish and chips option would be far better, why couldn't we go a step better than Rochdael and have a chippy within the ground?  Obviously not in the wooden end though!

Forget the Burger Van and Mc D’s.

Three John Turner Pork Pies does the trick for me at any Home or Away game.    

fu#k it,i'm going to raise this at the fans forum and say i was nearly killed by a undercooked excrement burger at an extortionate price,will the club look into this serious allegation?
