Part of the upgrade is for another outlet in the Nevada stand.
Already in place and could even 'possibly' be open for tomorrow's game. It's next to the Match Day office, just beyond the trurnstiles for the Nevada Stand and should double the capacity for that area.

Tbh, I’m wondering why we don’t do more to improve the pathetic food offering in the ground

It really is the lowest level of options, I get the restrictions but it misses the mark once inside
Please be so knid as to explain your whinge complaint and provide an alternative that is workable, profitable and practicle? Employing Micchael Caines MBE as Catering Director could be a little bit of overkill for football ground catering.

Which will be shifting the same poor quality/low choice options

Why does exeweb always go down this route, it's very childish for a man your age

Wonder if designer has taken into account possible L2 next season where "One man and his cat" only turn up !
There’s nothing like being optimistic

Even a basic upgrade to the offering would help.

Surely our club could go further than a couple of microwave items and a bovril? It's 2024.

I've been to plenty of grounds that are bad, but I've also been to grounds that have offered proper burgers, proper pies, pizzas... it doesn't have to be fancy just beyond the absolute bare minimum.

Even some nice fresh chips with some options of sauces, or something like currywurst; street food that some guy with a hot plate can serve up on a Berlin street corner can achieve... whilst our large "kitchen" remains largely useless.

As usual, you have club acolytes like Holloway go on the defensive when actually this is feedback that could so easily be acted upon. This whole development is based on improving the facilities... the board are bigging up these kiosks, but I want to see a tiny bit of creative thought about what goes in them for once.

The catering at the ground has been a 1/10 for years, decades.

There are zero options for anyone with a food allergy in the Stanno Stand. Not great considering it's a family stand with kids. It's not even very hard, just stock more packaged goods beyond KitKats, Yorkies and Mars Bars with some random crisps. Had better choice at car boot sales.

I currently cannot eat anything in that ground because I'm celiac. I get it's more an edge case, I'm used to being limited to where I can eat but at least have a chocolate I can buy 😂 Before anyone says that it's fancy specialist stuff... it's not. A Crunchie or a Wispa would do... There will be others who have worse issues than me, but lets just cater for the fat blokes with a stomach lined with ale ;)

Look at these unprofitable, football behemoths wasting their time with edible items

Micheal Caines must be proper busy going to ground to ground

I definitely like the look at that pie, mash and gravy so fingers crossed Harrogate join our league soon.
Mind you for that jerk chicken dish I wouldn’t mind us being relocated to the South East and then relegated to Tooting and Mitcham’s Combined Counties Premier South League.

Damn middle age has hit you hard Max. Unfortunately it has also hit me and I find it difficult to disagree with what you say.

The peak of cuisine at SJP was the boil in a bag burgers that Lindley(?) used to serve circa 2003. Peak filth.
