THE DIRE STRAITS OF NORTH FOOTBALL

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

The facts speak for themselves;

Elgin bottom of Division 3

ICT bottom of the SPL

Peterhead in no man's land

Ross County out of two Cups in two nights

but even worse...........................................................

and I quote from the Ross County website

'We have been asked by G & M Whyte, the company responsible for running the matchday Tea Bars, to post on their behalf an apology to all fans for the extremely unsatisfactory standard of catering which was on offer to fans attending the match against Airdrie United on Saturday the 01st of September.

They accept that neither the selection of food available nor the standard of staffing was at the level which fans have a right to expect when attending Victoria Park, and are already putting in place measures to ensure that these problems will not occur again. In addition to rectifying these problems, they are also working to identify a suitable way to make up for this to fans in the near future.

Ross County wish to stress that we are committed to ensuring that fans have an enjoyable matchday experience at Victoria Park, and we recognise that the catering on offer is a key part of this. We will be working together with G & M Whyte to ensure that not only that these specific problems do not recur, but also that the standards meet the expectations of both the fans and Club alike.'

And that's not to mention that a can of Coke at Victoria Park is ?1.20!!! And it's not just that, they also pour it into a plastic cup for you just incase you throw the can at the players!

Don't laugh....these are the same guys that operate the Tea Bars at ICT  :029:

My Niece works for them, apparently their was a mix up with the pie and sausage roll order.  She was in stitches because she's never seen so many grown men throw such a strop over not being able to get a pie and that they seemed more interested in standing and shouting and bawling at the counter staff than watching the game  :015:

What corporate claptrap - thewhole world's infested with it - mission statements and all that p1sh. I imagine G&M Whyte have a byline of "Corporate Catering Solutions" or some such shecht - they sell tea and pies at football matches ferfecksake.

You've got to laugh.

The home fans have just been finding out what away fans at VP have put up with for years.

The away toilet facilities were rubbish too any time we've been there.
