Just walked in here after the game and some massive geezer in a straw boater hat was telling the bar staff to go f### themselves, then threw his pint over one of them.
Wtf was that about?2 -

The bar staff in the fans bar after the game are just appalling, who hired these people, incompetent and slow is their only mode.
Had chicken George in the fans zone before with my son, very good, will try the lush burger van next week0 -
Who’s chicken George?shine166 said:
Tbf, after banging on about how good chicken george is, wings and a pint in the sun does make more sense.cafc-4-life said:

But they will have a pop up bar at the Fan Zone so you can drink and sit outside.1 -

After game, people taking there drinks outside from Bartrams and sitting in the fan zone in he sun, the food stalls still open.
I assume after a 3pm kick that will not happen even in say September.0 -
Whatever the service, that's out of order. Just because they are bar staff, it doesn't mean they should take abuse. In my very first job behind a bar at 18 a bloke asked to be served after time had been called. I told him it was not possible, so he pulled me all the way over the front side of the bar by my hair, in full view of all the other punters. I went and found the bar manager and told her "Some cunt has just pulled me over the bar" "Right" she said, "just point him out" When I did she announced, "That's my husband" I was sacked the next day by pub landlord for 'not getting along with customers'.Chunes said:Just walked in here after the game and some massive geezer in a straw boater hat was telling the bar staff to go f### themselves, then threw his pint over one of them.

Hope the club support this poor worker (however poor they are).33 -

What if they'd said something inflammatory and/or sexist/racist? Would you still want the club to support them then?The Prince-e-Paul said:

The bar/catering staff at sports venues are always going to be a bit rubbish, as they're temporary workers (zero hours?) who go from venue to venue when required. You can't compare them with the workers at a restaurant or pub who who there all the time as their main job.11

North stand lower.at half time we ordered 2 pints of lager.
Not the most challenging of orders, but the bloke attempting to poor them was only pouring froth.
After about 5 minutes he done away with the glass and got a bucket.
This resulted in a bucket full of froth.
Why don't you adjust the tap I suggested.
Don't know how was the reply.
Then nothing came out the tap at all.
What's up I said.
Barrel needs changing came the reply.
Change it then I said.
Don't know how to he replied.
By now there's about 50 people queuing behind me thinking what's that fucker ordering.
Eventually I had to settle for a couple of pints of pale ale.
Never again will I bother with that load of bollox.
A couple of miniature bottles of whisky in my pocket from now on.9 -
Methven talks about fan experience. Seriously. He needs to walk around the stands once in a while to get himself a bite to eat and a bevvy
Shokin!9 -
The staff did not do a thing wrong, the big geezer was well out of order, in fact, they laughed it off after having the drink thrown at them, though obviously not happy with him.Off_it said:

I was second in line behind straw boater man, he should get a permanent ban in my opinion, the bar staff will be on minimum wage i would imagine and don't deserve that.16 -
So it was Methven then?cblock said:

Queues seemed a lot longer in the North Lower (fight me) today. If I’m looking to get pissed before a Charlton game though there’s absolutely no chance I’m getting a drink in the ground. Royal Oak is great since it got taken over and they no longer have two staff wearing pyjamas serving 200 people0

what is the bloke wearing a straw boater doing there anyway? wrong end of the Thames for a regatta.0

North Stand Lower today - left our seats after 40 mins to get a drink - had to wait 15 minutes before I got a beer - there were 5 in the queue before me.There is no feeling of urgency at all from the bar staff. The club could be taking loads more money if they do some simple things.Pre pour drinks at half time.
have one person on the till and one getting the order.Introduce some feeling of urgency - competition between the tills with a decent prize for who takes the most money / serves most customers.It’s pretty simple12 -

“Our vision for Charlton is for the club to become the most cohesive and sustainable community-driven club in the UK competing at an elite level. For us to reach that level, we need to continue to drive standards on and off the pitch.
But actions rather than words of course 😉🙂0 -
We almost sold out today - thank you to everybody who bought from us.People loved our 2 for £6 victory offer! - I encourage everybody else to try! ❤️24

The only thing with pre-pouring pints is getting the timing right. When we’ve been to some away grounds that pre-pour before half time I’m pretty sure I’m getting a beer that was poured 45 mins ago and is now flat.Fanny Fanackapan said:
