stupid chip cones

Why have the caterers started to use stupi bloody cones for the chips!

I go into the game and get my ticket, I get my programme, I buy a burger and chips. I decide to get a bottle of water and they take the friggin lid of it.

I then have to carry the programme under my left arm, carry the burger in my right hand, the bottle of water in my left hand as I can't pocket it without a lid, and now I have to stick the cone of chips in my ear or something.

When I manage to balance all these thing I am walking crab like to get to my seat, I get to the braemar stand and the bloke wants to see my bloody ticket. You can't even put the stupid cone on the floor as it will topple so you have to put it all down, dig you ticket out and they try to rebalance it all again!

I will not be buying chips again..more lost revenue, will you never learn brentford!

yeah right on Mhead Bee ! Romes burning so lets moan about the chip cones ! :) You could always turn it up side down when empty an make a nice little hat .They are a bit of a pain though, but theyre easier to carry normally.Also its better profits for the caterers as although the cone is full , it doesnt hold many chips,just looks like it does.A bigger negative is only being able to ketchup on the top layer.I must of been peessed as I dropped my guard on the way out and bought a burger,Jeez even in my state it tasted crrrapp

The revenue lost from food is something that BU need to look at. I'll be the first to admit i am a fat pig, and if the food was better i'd have lunch down at GP. Instead i have stuff at the Griffin sometimes or eat at home before I go out. I can't think that I have spend more than a tenner on anything save hot drinks at GP in 11 years going.

Its a serious thread............. the catering is getting worse which must affect the clubs income.

Latest wheeze is to store the hotdogs pre-prepared in the hot oven so you get a sort of non-descript dried up toasted roll which tastes much like cardboard.

May sound petty but this is all about the match day experience is it not...........!

I may be wrong,but I can't believe that the fact that chips are being served in a cone is even worth starting a thread about.

:nono: The catering contracted out. So the Club's income is safe, no matter how crap the catering is. The contractors, however, get better profits if they charge the same for a crappier produce. Simple.

Unfortunately Banana it is still a problem whether it is contracted out or not.

Whilst the current contract may be safeguarded as far as income is concerned, the turnover from that contract will be used as a basis for the next round of letting contracts. Anyone bidding or negotiating to take over the catering will base their projection upon what is currently happpening. If they see few people using the facilities, they will only be prepared to offer a fee or concession charge based upon what they can generate. Whilst they may consider that they can generate more income than the current incumbents, they are starting from a lower base. They consequently take more risk. Risk is priced and the income to BFC is reduced. However, if the service is seen as a buoyant and sustainable income generator they will be prepared to pay more to get the contract. Even if the catering is taken back in house, if it has been decimated due to a poor product, service or the like then it will take to time to grow the customer base back to what is was.

So, crap service and products now, have a long term impact and do not just affect the present contractor! That is why BFC must be procative in ensuring that the products and services they offer are not seen as being poor value for money or just crap. Retaining customers should always be a priority over attracting new ones. If you lose a customer it is 10 times more difficult to get that customer back than to attract a new one!
