And of course pubs like the lion.

56 pints a minute with this little dispenser

 

Surely it's more like this - and I bet the beer is better

Two words you don't expect to see in the same sentence ,
Swizzler and queues ,
thought your man would go and get you , your refreshments mate ,
perish the thought of you rubbing shoulders with the likes of me , in a queue . tut ,tut .
;)
 
I don't understand why they don't have more vending machines, surely it's a good idea. Could get around licensing by having to scan your season ticket or just selling non alcoholic drinks and food, could sell hot food by having a system similar to on the continent, having kitchens behind constantly filling up.
 
They had something like that at Durham last year when I went to the Test Match - with a sign 'You wait no longer than 2 minutes or Free Beer'
Absolutely Superb !!
 
I've not had a beer for 3 days, had no thought to have one, but after seeing that I really need a pint.
 
Also went to Headingley last year for the Yorks v Lancs T/20 - average time to get served 25 minutes - Worse than the Lane !
 
My beer glass always gets filled from the bottom up.
 
Wouldn't work for real ale. Only sh*t lager type stuff.
Still, that's all you get in grounds. Anything to avoid waiting 20 minutes for sh*t lager stuff is ok with me. :-)
 
Beer snobbery is bullshit. I like real ales. Well into it. All about the pale ales. But lager is also good. I know Carlsberg ain't exactly gourmet, but it's drinkable. Proper lager is probably better than any other beer. But after 6 pints and a poor showing in the first half, I'm all over that shit.

I'm a lager drinker, always have been, and I've no idea why because it's shit. Most of the time I get sick of it after 5 or 6 pints and can't drink any more.

Decided to try beer the other weekend (Boddingtons, it's all they had) and I quite liked it. No idea whether I'll like Stones, Smiths etc etc though!!
 
The problem is not the technology, it's the half brain-celled slack arsed workers who seem to be solely trying to prove that evolution can in fact work backwards employed at the club

Completely agree, The best signing we could make this summer is the woman who managed the bar at Port Vale, she had so it under control I could have gone back several times during half time and it was busy.

That and realise that fucking voucher system on the kop isnt working, surly they know they have only sold 5 vouchers so why pay some gimp to stand there and wipe the bar all half time. he should atleast go and help on the other tills rather than just standing there for the sake of it.

As they dont pre poor any of the pints for the vouchers either it would make more sense to sell books of vouchers that could last all season, or atleat a few games. you could buy these online instead of having to get into the ground early which is also fucking ridiculous as the majority who want a pint at HT will still be in the pub anyway and not get a chance to buy any. you could even have it so you could buy the vouchers but then activate them with a smart phone app during the first half so the gimp behind the tills gets a message telling them to pour a drink.

if they want to cut down on queues, just have one or more tills work with contactless cards. either those that we get from our banks, or incorporate the technology into season ticket/membership cards as well. if people aren't ****ing about with cash that'll save so much time. works perfectly well overseas, a ton of clubs ONLY accept this sort of thing and not cash at all
