Crikey, someone who gets it! FFS its done in all retail sectors when someone dabbles their toes in a market with a sampler (A few barrels) with a view to seeing what happens. Although I would prefer to use a Sheffield Brewery myself to support local business, the basis of the idea is spot on. And if they happen to need to offload a barrel or two surely they could open after the match until the bar runs dry. Or if you let people take the stuff back to their seats I'm guessing this never need to be a problem. Lets face it at the moment the more pissed you are the better it all looks in any case.
I also think a bit of astute thinking like this would change peoples perspective of food and beer at BDTBL. Good grub and beer would make people want to turn up earlier and not feel like they were having guns held to their heads every time they imbibe a bottle of the pisswater they serve currently.

Embarassing..... or handy?
I know you purchase most of your "requirements" via a man at the back of a stand somewhere but don't judge us all by your poor standards

The problem with people taking beer to their seats is that it's illegal.

Shame really, at Euro2008 in Austria they brought it to your seat for you, suggest that to compass.

You can suggest that one to Compass all you like, and I'm sure they would like to do it...
However, they can't simply ignore the rules imposed on them

Yes I know, just another example of how uncivilised this country is.

Verdict on Headingley Catering.
Food purchased, nil.
Beer queues too long, fast pour rendered useless by gentleman purchasing 4 pints at a time, attempting a sychronised effort to attain an advanced state of refreshment simulatenously.

Is it too late to add to the ideas?
Anyway, here's mine.
How about moving the pumps for the draught ale at the John Street end of the Kop closer to the wall so that the queue is not blocking the Stairs. Also that their is more of a selection of beers, Ciders and Alco pops in bottle form, they'll sell more.
Can we also have staff that will serve you with a pint without a pie if their is no queue at that stall? It's not rocket science and will rid the length of the queue.
ALSO and this is a huge bug bearer of mine. Can you have staff that can acknowledge that not everyone in your round will want a pie with their pint, so if we join that queue and ask for 2xpint and pies and a further 4 beers that we don't have to queue up again for said beers. Also not rocket science!!!
Other than that, just a kids stall with kids style portions of pie's, Sausage rolls and burgers, not foot long Hot dogs and huge burgers, cause kids just won't eat them.
Oh and while I'm involving kids, can we have fruit shoot style drinks with self closing caps as opposed to lids cause Coke with no cap soon gets left, spills and sticks up the steps and seats area, also attracting vermin.
Thats all for now

I am aware, but only at football matches, which it surely cannot be difficult to challenge and away you go.

Football shot itself in the foot long ago with this arguement and seeing as missiles are still thrown, I really can't anything changing anytime soon.
Sitting on the South Stand or the John Street stand with a beer during a Rugby match is quite surreal compared with the following Saturday sat on the Kop and can't even get a decent Draught ale at half time, let alone on the actual stand.
What about dropping 2 quid in a box and having a buffet. It would be quicker than the present queuing system without the delight of having to face some shuffling geriatric or spotty chav at the till to grudgingly pass the 'food item' to you.

Think this may still considered to be illegal but it's not enforced as I think the law covered rugby and football plus others but not cricket.

I think most places enforce it, signs up everywhere saying no alcohol beyond this point and stewards seem to be always on the look out for people straying in with beer.
On the kop the other year my dad got a right mouthful from a steward for standing a foot over the yellow line that's not meant to be crossed with alcohol and mate got kicked out of Preston this year for supping from a hip flask, tho he did have it on full display so it was quite easy to spot him!
Sorry didn't make myself clear. I think it's vigorously enforced at Football matches only.

Hehe, Frustrated from Fleetwood?
Tbh, I find the curry pies good and the fact the sauces are served in big tubs, so no messing about with plastic sachets, is good too. It's still 10 times cheaper than Paris so the prices don't bother me. The main problem is the booze. Do they deal with that as well?
