Probably right there ha ha!!!!

God help the LSV if we`ve got the England V France match.......

The Lager and free lobby was very nice in thr britt after the game

I dont believe paying for that overpriced that the caterers serve up

I chose Bovril on Saturday for the same reason!!

the more people don'y buy the products the more chance the price coming down. £2.70 for a pie is scandelous stop buying

At least they do have a price list..................the chioce to buy or not to buy is YOURS....................no one is

forcing you !
One day (hopefully) as with a lot of other "issues" at the LSV the penny will drop !

I refer to my post from previous week after the Barrow match, (and all other games!!!) my experience of catering at LSV is poor - bad service - bad ale - expensive - and can only assume visiting fans are having pretty much the same experience and going away from the LSV with a "bad taste in the mouth" and not just from the food !!

Why?

The cost - the quality - waiting times - running out of food, beer, brews, pop etc. not a good experience for anyone - I know at HP Cheshire catering gave a decent quality at reasonable prices with minimum waiting time, exactly what everybody wants !!

To me all that's 'food' related when you previously said visiting fans were leaving LSV with a bad taste not just from food, I thought there was other issues.

Sorry Glow for any confusion, am sure any away fans enjoy the experience and quality that a new ground the likes of LSV offer, unfortunatley the catering within the stands at LSV, at the moment leave a lot to be desired, Iam not havin a go at LSV, the point trying to make the catering company running this need to look at the issues and resolve them accordingly, gone on for far too long.

By all accounts things are already [url=http://viewtopic.php?f=15&t=447351on the slide[/url at The Shay already after EMC (I think it is?) have taken over the bar.

No need to apologise, just interested to hear other fans opinions of their LSV experience, the problem with food is LSV like almost everyone else these days will sell the outlets to the highest bidder, and its then up to them how they sell their products.

Next time you visit try Leigh East you’ll get yourself some food and a beer at a more reasonable price, or even the hotel both are on site.

i am sure that the catering company do Bradford and Huddersfield aswell anyone know there prices.

What I struggle to understand is why they have so many people behind the counter but only 2 or 3 serving the rest of them just stand there looking gormless!.

Here's an idea all serve the people and the queue will go down quicker

What I struggle to understand is WHY there is a queue in the first place with THOSE prices

I asked the same and was told he was a 'supervisor' though what he was Supervising I'm not sure.

The LSV Supervisor (steward) in fairness went out of his way to resolve the problem especially as people were wanting to use the West Stand kiosk instead because there was no hot food or lager. Top marks to him. I still think there are far too many of them but also know there are rules for the numbers required for the Safety Certificate etc, but this bloke was professional and polite.

yes when he put them signs up somebody said to him have you got one for the bogs which reads Pee here

well i stated from day 1 i would not purchase any food or drink on game days, and have stuck to that decision, like people have said if nobody bought owt tjhey'd soon do something about it, but to just keep buying it and then moaning about helps nobody, except the caterers who think, stupids buggers these leythers, we're serving up crap at inflated prices and these lot are satill paying for it.

Similar prices at Huddersfield and Doncaster, and they've just got the contract at Halifax for the new stand.

Well they must be making money.

Over the last week or so I've had email corresondance with Chris Smith of LSV and I'd like to publically praise the efforts of him and LSV in dealing with it head on and professionally. I'd sent it to Allan Rowley first, as it happens their Darren had rung Allan when it was happening to tell him it was another shambles, who then raised it at their weekly meeting with LSV. Straight away Chris got in touch.

He said they were going to open up the other bar, stock them both properly, emply more staff, guide folk into individual till queues rather than having one long one, and put the game on the TV's so anyone queuing didnt miss any action.

The TV didnt quite work (it was Basils interview on a loop but I'm sure thats simply a technical thing) but everything they said they would do they did. There was a small problem with the 2nd bar - only one lass could serve beer for some reason which held things up a bit but on the whole the result was quicker service and less folk grumbling. Well not me anyway. Pretty much straight in and out 3 times.

Hats off the LSV for listening and doing something about it. The club have also had better dealings with them. LSV have taken enough stick off us, me included, so deserve praise when they react positively.





I'm now on a crusade to improve numeracy skills in our schools. After handing over a £10 note for items totalling £4.80, the young lass serving had to ask her mate how much change I was due.

Bought a pint in the main west stand, was a good pint (best yet). Served by a smiling face with a please & thankyou.
Not so much an issue at the moment, but at the forthcoming international queue control could be a disaster.

I really hope they are told to get their finger out for the international because the LSV and Leigh as a whole could miss the chance to show the rest of this sport what a fantastic place it really is.
