EMails do have their use, but where some strong words are needed they fall short in so many ways!.

Dave !...as I have previously noted, it doesn't take much to have me, in my dotage, totally confused !...and as usual you have managed to achieve this, although I'll join you in a yoddel-de-ho- Ho, which sounds vaguely musical to me !. Taking a more serious tack though, I have no idea who the one purporting to be the Fans Liaison Officer is, but to have achieved this position he or she must have impressed the powers that be that they possess the mettle needed to face up to the challenge of any fan-related problem, and so I look forward to a ditching of EMails as a solution to the one in question, replacing them with a robust and firm criticism of the sad efforts of those providing this Season's Ground-based refreshments. Perhaps we will see results on Saturday ?....I'll be watching !. |

Re: Who ate all the pies?
I don't understand what's so difficult about sending the club an email?
If the club received an email, I imagine they could treat it like a proper complaint, as well as have it on hand and discuss with the caterers. The alternative is either printing out every page of this thread or attempting to remember individuals members posts from an unofficial forum? People want change but keep expecting the club to come looking for problems? |

Re: Who ate all the pies?
What does it matter by what medium we express our concerns regarding the terrible catering facilities at the Wham Stadium this season. What strikes me is that this so called "Fans Liaison Officer" is well aware of the issue as he's obviously been reading the thread, but instead of living up to his "Grand" important sounding title, his first reaction is to make sure correct procedures are being followed. Sounds to me like he's more biased towards the club than the fans.

People expect the club to act more professionally, So in my opinion have done by asking fans to email them directly which is the professional way and you still aren't happy!
The clubs best ever league start and the busiest thread on the forum is how hot the pies are at half time...Just about sums a few people up on here!! :rolleyes::rolleyes: |

What is needed is direct action from the Fans Liaison Officer and any spare Manager to do the rounds of the FF Outlets tomorrow afternoon and ensure that the quantity and quality of the comestables on sale are of an acceptable standard !, and of more importance, that the Fans are happy and satisfied with these provisions. JC is often declaring that the Fans are of paramount importance to the Club !. So would this action not echo his sentiments precisely ?.. |

Re: Who ate all the pies?
You really are dense, the object is to make new people happy to come, who is gonna do that if they dont live in accy? if they are not regulars then the probable outcome is they won't come back, think about things before opening yer gob.:rolleyes: notice the clowns joining the circus. I also know quite a few people that aint got computers, never will have, they reckon they are too old, daft but true, you only think of yer own clowns baldy.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
This seems to be rumbling on for a while and, whilst I can see that an emailed complaint is more official, I think we are missing the point. We are grumbling about the standard of catering at Accy but, no matter how bad it is, we will more than likely be back because we are Stanley fans. Rightly or wrongly we have put up with no roof, poor toilet facilities, poor catering and on accaison no beer but the club means more to us tahn all that.
The problem we have here is we are trying to attract new fans and neutrals/fans of other clubs on a day trip. at the end of the day even good football may not be enough to get them to come back because at the end of the day it is good league 2 football not the Premiership, Championship, Bundisliga, la Liga, Serie A or any of the other big leagues on TV. Facilities do matter to people and businesses and if the facilities are sub standard most people don't fire off an email they just don't come back. Personally I'm not too bothered as I only get something to eat inside if I've been on the bevvy and a bucket of ale can make anything taste not too bad. Likewise the cost can be expensive but I hand over a fiver or tenner and pocket the change so I've no idea how much it was last time at the Wham. If I don't have a fiver or tenner I don't bother or just pull out a handfull of pound coins which I seem to accumulate - probably because I keep using a fiver or tenner and pocketing the change :D. Perhaps rather than argue about whether we need to email or post on an unofficial forum the club should try the catering before the game and at half time and report back. It's not rocket science however if the club get paid regardless of how much or little is sold and what is sold would they want to rock the boat because at the end of the day they need the money and doing it themselves probably isn't an option regarding infrastructure and potential losses in winter. Anyway despite the catering I'll be back tomorrow!!! :D |
Re: Who ate all the pies?
Yeh nailed it bang on in the second paragraph, I'm struggling to understand how some can't get it, cos surely no-ones that stupid?
|
Re: Who ate all the pies?
By the way i just checked back and it was the same two so-called fans, that were opposed when i complained about the 50-50 draw, it seems to have worked better now tickets are being sold inside, therefore generating a bit more cash for the club, the same two are now against trying to keep new fans coming, complete waste of space in my book.:rolleyes:

Whilst all on the pie front seems to have been resolved given that there aren't any further complaints forthcoming, i feel I must bring up the delicate subject of no chips being available at the main stand refreshments van, apparently anyone enquiring about the availability of said fried delicacies was being directed to the Clayton end if they couldn't make do with a hot dog, pie or burger - who'd be a fast food vendor these days eh??
|
Re: Who ate all the pies?
Must bring up the no chocolate bars, asked before the game had even kicked off and they said they had none, also noticed the baps we're getting stored on the floor at the side of the van
|
Re: Who ate all the pies?
I had my said PIE before the kick off.
My marks; Warmth = 6/10 ......Could have been hotter!:rolleyes: Taste = 8/10 ......Quite good:) Texture = 7/10 ......Nice crust but inner was a bit of a mush.:cool: Service = 8/10 .......Pleasant...Mr Grumpy was absent!:) Overall = Could do better, (see me after school!):rolleyes: Did they still have enough stock at half time?:confused: |
Re: Who ate all the pies?
is our catering any better or worse than other clubs in our division and what do others charge. don't go to many away games due to us being in league division 2 south. but it would be interesting to compare. if ours is worse could the supporters club get involved as a group has more clout than an individual.
|
Re: Who ate all the pies?
£5 for two coffees is a bit of a joke !!!,no wonder Yonmon sidles upto his lady friend at half time when the flask comes out :)
|
Re: Who ate all the pies?
Well done Choirboy on your survey, a very clear scoring system.
Negative comments still being expressed so by the look of things the situation continues. Following Tuesday night's fiasco I gave the Clayton end van a wide birth. I did notice however that the van had been relocated and possibly it was a different vendor (not Mr Grumpy). Perhaps someone can clarify. I think the supporters club are well aware of the situation and agree with monkey hanger that they could use a bit of clout, particularly since we haven't heard another peep from the Supporter Liaison Officer. |
Re: Who ate all the pies?
Well as yeh did actually send him n e-mail, yer saying yeh still aint heard a peep?

I visit a few southern softie grounds and the fare is variable. But what is a fact is that I remember the places that offer better fare or service. Places like Dagenham are reasonably priced, as I recall, Brizzle Rovers have the best pasty anywhere, the sausage rolls at Crawley were monstrous, and Wimbledon and Wycombe offer good value. For somewhere with a ground that is barely Conference standard to charge £2.50 for a cup of hot water and a few grains of instant coffee-like substitute is beyond a joke. The answer is simple, just don't pay it. |

Then Accymad, with a rather sad countenance, reported to me the startling fact that NO Chips were to be had from the outlet behind the Main Stand !. I offered to negotiate with the Steward guarding the Clayton End to see if he might purchase a few from their Van and pass them along to the Chipless standing around, but this offer was, as often happens to me where young ladies are concerned, treated as a bit of trivial banter on my part !...but I'm glad to see that AM has not let this absense of fried Potatoes go unreported !... So folks, the Club is,I am assured, on to it, and things should improve !...Incidentally, Oxford were better than us !. |
Re: Who ate all the pies?
I have to say, the stink from pies,etc make me nearly throw up when eaten nearby on the Clayton End, but that's probably due to my medication, as it never used to be a problem. I give my gold medal, incidentally, to the Balti pie supplied at Elland Road when we played Leeds in a cup match a few years ago. Now that really was something to salivate about, thinking about it now.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
I'll never forget an incident way back when, we were in the NW Counties first division. At that time as some on here will remember, we could walk round to the opposite end of the ground at half time.There was a guy who attended regularly, he was quite a big lad, wore glasses and always had a Burbury flat cap on, I never knew his name. Anyway, he got escorted/kicked out of the ground from the Coppice end for chucking a pie at the opposition goalkeeper. Can anyone remember the incident? From that day on we Christened him "The Pieman"
|
Re: Who ate all the pies?
I have replied to those fans who have emailed me and passed on any emails to the vendors. The vendors are keen for fans to give them feedback directly. Eg They told me Clayton Park pies are now being sold because fans told them they didn't like the pastry of the Pukka pies.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
Clayton Park meat and potato are far too peppery.

Re: Who ate all the pies?
Heard a Cambridge Utd fan on Radio 5 today discussing this topic who said that the best pies he'd ever had at a football ground were at Kidderminster Harriers.
Amazing, but I came away from my one trip to their ground (it was Stanley's very last game in the Conference, so 10.5 years ago) thinking the same thing. I recall all the food on offer was way above anything I'd ever seen at any ground, anywhere. It wasn't cheap, but then if price is the only test of whether food is good or bad, there is little hope for human health. Having said that, having fantastic pies doesn't seem to correlate with a successful team. In the Conference at least, that seems to depend on being vegetarian!:rolleyes: |
Re: Who ate all the pies?
Looking forward to an Ivor Dewdney Cornish Pasty tomorrow afternoon from the van outside the Britannia :)

Re: Who ate all the pies?
Kiddy's pies are sensational. The expense story on the BBC is misleading. Yes they are 50p to a £1 more than most other clubs but instead of hot air and meat scraps you get a meal in a tray!!
