I’ve got to ask about this. As a usual late arriver (this WILL change), I’ve missed out on the whole fan zone thing so far since the new owners came in, but seriously, where’s all that quality food shown on social media last season gone? I see we’re back to having the drivel again (£4 Pukka pies reheated to nuclear levels, inedible for half an hour, and even then with pastry like rubber).

What’s happened there? It’s shite.

Was you in the Upper Findus? It seems Social Box is not in the kiosk there anymore and they've gone back to more 'traditional' football food.

The rest of the stadium had street food stalls though. The Scotch Egg in the fan zone was it's usual high standard

The Project Pie from Harrington Corner was nothing less than superb - chicken lemon thyme and craft beer, with mushy peas - looking forward to the next variant

I do find it really annoying how excrement the situation is in the upper now it's sold out every week. We seem to get the short straw on catering because the tiny kiosk doesn't have the room or facilities for any decent caterers to inhabit it, the bar is always rammed full, and the concourse area and stairs are cramped and busy making it hard, if not impossible, to try and get food and drink unless you arrive well before kick off. The whole interior of the stand needs looking at cos the fan experience compared to the rest of the ground is very poor. Very annoying to see the chairman going on about how great the locally sourced pies are in the main stand  when they're only serving overpriced pukka pies to supporters in the upper.

Short of demolishing the stand I’m not sure 1878 can do much about it - the stand is poorly designed and that’s one thing we can’t blame JF for.

There’s plenty of space on the corner next to the Osmand for more food stalls  and toilets.
If they’re not going to use it for seats in the future .

The tea is like gnats urine.
Better off bring a pocket flask in, and get fish and chips before the game.
The queues in the lower bar are horrendous, people walk in see 2 people behind the bar and walk back out, potential revenue walking right out the door because the club can't staff it properly, it's not as though they don't know they got 3,000 new season ticket holders.
The club is going in the right direction,but some things remain frustratingly tinpot.

I’m sure there is something that could be done with the Upper, there are 3 exit points to ground level and at half we only open up 1 of them, I’ve always wondered why TBH.
