Hopefully just some early teething problems, but service in north stand concourse was f***ing diabolical. I know some people at HT that gave up queuing. It was like the staff were having a nice relaxing day. Absolutely no urgency.
Loads people commenting it was worse than last season.

Queues weren't helped at on bar in NS (think it's next to Porterfield mural) which for the life of the stadium has had a red metal barricade in front of it and everyone has always queued length ways (as opposed to head on like a normal bar).
Turns out theyve removed the barricade, but no regulars knew and were queuing the historic way.

What's the situation with these advertised self serve stations? Is it all a load of marketing bull shit and they're only in select parts???

I was in the premier concourse and there was no self-service beer stations I take it they must just be in the lower tiers

Watched a couple of videos today from WHU's view and they can't see the scoreboard, don't know how to fix that like. The paint job in the north stand concourse is class, the service at the bar was incredibly slow, mind.

The club have caused their own problems by removing the barriers in front of the kiosks in the North Lower. People are now queuing 5 or 6 deep in front of the kiosk, so even less room to get past at half time.

It has made the concourse situation even worse. It's a really bad experience down there like, it will be costing them a fortune in lost sales and is the main reason why so many stream down from 35 mins onwards. Concourses need extending desperately.

The talk at the ground was that there were a few in West stand lower, but not sure where else
Also, on a slightly unrelated note but beer and kiosk related - im not one usually for criticising other fans behaviour, people are different and can do what they want but....... I honestly think they should close the bars as 2nd half kicks off.
I cannot believe the sheer numbers of people getting served pints as 2nd half was kicking off (I'd left it till late as I could to go for a piss as it was rammed, but I ran back to my seat).
But people were still queuing for beer as the match is kicking off!!! There's a few religiously come back to seats on 55 mins where I sit.
It's me one bug bear, & imo worse than early leavers like l

Whole new set of fans for PL. newbies sat next to me talked to each through most of the game only reacting when we scored.
The droves coming back to their seats on 55 mins after their refreshments was staggering

I really don't understand the clamour to have a drink at half time, especially how long it takes to get served and the price of the pints.

You've hardly got time for a pee at halftime the only way to get a pint is to go down before halftime and miss the start of the second half
 
Drinking alcohol in your seats would alleviate the queues at the bars, both before the match and at half time. It’s about time this Tory enforced despicable law was changed. It’s been 40 year the knars
