The food and drink service inside Goodison

Problem at virtually every ground I've been to tbh, including Wembley.
I've worked a lot of bars over the years, it baffles me that they don't line up stacks of 3/4 filled pints before the main rush then top them up, just have some staff dedicated to doing that, some dedicated to finishing and serving. You know roughly how many you'll be knockin out and over what time. Basic bar management.
This is precisely what they do at Twickenham. The difference between Twickenham and Wembley, in terms of service speed and product quality, could not be greater. 70,000 people go to the bar at half time and I'd guess there are 40,000 pint pots three quarters full of Guinness ready and waiting for them.

Thinking about it, Twickenham is probably the best large stadium in the country.
 

I haven't read this whole thread so it may have already been suggested but surely the simple solution is to just allow alcoholic drinks in the stands, this way there wont be a 15 minute window when EVERYONE wants to get one and the stalls can supply it at a steady rate. In most countries u can take a beer to your seat, why not in England.....you will be in the ground for what, 110 minutes, theres not enough time to get paraletic AND watch a football match. You cant do anything at a match these days, drink, smoke, stand up, moon

I think it's banned by law at football games in this country. I may be wrong but I think this came in with all seater stadiums etc post Hillsborough
