Looks like they didn't cater for the huge crowd, which is silly really. You'd think they'd be more prepared than that.
I don't think our ground is set up very well for us to be too much more efficient (have only ever been to three of the bars around the ground though) but I think we certainly could have done better yesterday.

Jesus you blokes like a whinge.
It's not so much about having a whinge it's that we need to take advantage of these opportunities when they arise. This is the sort of thing that will stop some people coming to the game which is an issue we want the stadium full every week. Unfortunately as I've said above there's only so much we can do with our facilities, to get us to an elite level in regards to pumping this out would involve major costs.

This is the major concern, there's no excuse for this and could possibly even provide legal ramifications (I assume there wouldn't be in this instance but a pub for example would be in major strife if they didn't have water).

Personally I don't really care that much if there is a wait for a beer as it's to be expected (you just grab a few at a time to counter it) but I'd like to see us improve on it as much as possible without major expense.

Small carts around the ground that sell water, soft drinks, packets of chips, chocolates and ice creams (Like the hot dog carts you see in the movies). They wouldn't be too expensive, won't take up much space (other than storage between games), and will help with Q's and income!

Beer lines weren't too bad where I lined up.

Compare it to Suncorp and that was about on par IMO.
Yeah the beers kept flowing between Pops & me hitting up the bar.

My one visit to Suncorp was unbelievable for service, it was just like going into a semi busy pub.

Yeah to be fair though they have 10 bars and 4 tills at each bar with a staff member on every till at all times just on the bottom deck alone. Unless it's origin or a sold out house the lines aren't bad there. The way they do it is the best way though, fill up a massive tray of about 30 beers then everyone can pickup how ever many they want and then line up to pay for said beers.
