    The reason for Kieffer’s sale becomes obvious. Overspent on the fan zone and need to pay the bouncey castle man!

    Great effort by the organisers, loads here, obviously work needed on the sound system and extra bar capacity, but for the first ever fanzone it was brilliant.

    I doubt the fan zone were bringing empties in to the ground to fill the bins, so we just have just had more drinkers than usual at the game.

    It is a real shame though that we still sell drinks in single use plastic cups in this day and age.

    If I were the organisers I’d defo stack more bars and space to stand alongside some nice street food places straight away and capitalise on the demand from the fans.

    Looks good. Takes up a fair bit of the car park doesn’t it!

    How long did it take to get served out of interest - the queue on pic above looks long!

    The queue was off-putting, there definitely needs to be more serving capacity.

    Yup. £1 return plastic ones - a bit thicker so they can be put in a glass washer.

    Like you do at beer festivals.

    I’m sure they’ll do it when they get settled in though.

    Same all over the ground. Plastic bottle drinks have gone up 10% to 2.20 a bottle and club shop still sells replica shirts and other stuff in plastic covers that get put straight in the bin. We could do a lot more as a club for the world.
