Is fucking hopeless. I went down 5 minutes before half time and it took 20 minutes to get to the front only to be told there was no beer left. It’s a combination of fucking idiots fucking about ordering a load of shite and the staff being completely useless, they look like they weren’t expecting the half time rush. We went to Norwich on Wednesday and they have it down to a tee. No one waited more than 2 minutes to be served. How fucking difficult can it be!

I don’t know where the secret pub is. Is the beer so strong that it keeps you intoxicated long enough to enjoy the boring possession football?

l know one of the bar managers and ask about why its so bad.
Apparently, they employ students who are as thick as shit and plenty who struggle with English.
They give them a hours training but get different ones all the time, plus if they report them they say "its racial discrimination". so don't get sacked.
Diversity working for you !

I sometimes have a pre-match pint on the concourse, when I've mistimed it & arrived a little early.
In my experience , it isn't the people serving the over priced piss that's the problem,& I've never had any language issues either. Its' the whole rigamorale involved.
When I've completed my purchase & wander across to the bar, my pint is never ready.

He's obviously as enlightened and open minded as you are.
I think it’s more drinkers desperate for a pint to numb the boredom Snooty

Were you really bored watching that display of total control yesterday?

Why do you describe it as a pint of piss ?
It’s stronger than Stella, Budweiser, Carlsberg, Fosters, and most of the best selling lagers.
I do agree though £6:50 is taking the piss.
It's piss coloured for a reason

The toilet system is shite as well at Ipswich you go in one door and out another and not have to push your way through people trying to get out.
If they employed their own staff as they used to do it would be much better than farming out to the lowest bidder there's no loyalty to the club.
As for the ticket system bring back the pensioner on the turnstile a few on here could do with an extra few quid.

The problem is they don’t manage them. So there’s loads of kids standing around adrenaline free and not bothering to use any initiative and nobody organising any systems or cracking the whip. I don’t think diversity has anything to do with it, it’s management that’s needed.

I've known quite a few bar managers there and the temps are fucking useless, its pitiful watching them..
They are basically unemployable slugs.
How the fuck they are in higher education is a mystery.

I never see anyone managing. If you have staff standing around looking gormless you need to be on top of things and if they have no adrenaline the boss has to give them some
I don’t doubt they are fucking useless, but all the more reason to actually manage them in that case

Those new “push” style beer taps they’ve got installed are also shockingly bad bits of kit with staff using them who haven’t got a clue what to do when it ejects huge amounts of gas into the pint, which then gets tipped into a giant container on the floor before being topped up and repeating the process! Thousands of pounds of waste being poured down the drain every home game.
The whole process needs to be scrapped, reevaluated and restructured because at the moment the cue times are a joke, the prices aren’t great, the staff need more training, the equipment needs changing or upgrading…it’s a mess for the “food and beverage manager” to sort out but…money says they don’t

Member of the lark around club.
Interesting to read your comments.
Never used the catering facilities and from what I have read never will.

It’s one of life’s great mysteries to me that so many people, despite the crap food/drink and customer service, spend so much time and money on the concourse instead of watching the game from their seat. I appreciate there’s a socialising element to the gatherings below but it all strikes me as a bit weird that people feel the need to do that on a regular basis.

Leaving at least 5 minutes before half time to avoid the queue, then returning to their seats at least 5 minutes after the 2nd half starts so everyone has to stand up again.
