Seat Serve
« on: September 20, 2018, 06:17:41 pm »
The latest innovation from the club: https://seatserve.com/

"With SeatServe, fans get their food, drinks and merchandise delivered right to their seats at the stadium, so they never miss a minute of the ballgame."

Sounds great right? who likes to have to queue up at half time for a cool bevvy to sooth your aching throat after singing yourself into a stupor, or doesn't prefer talking to your mates about the reds' second half strategy in the comfort of your spec over a steaming hot tea on a freezing December afternoon?...

So I downloaded the app to have a play with it, and lo and behold, the entire ground, every single block is now covered... so for shits and giggles I decided to see how much it would cost to have a coke zero delivered to 305/74... turns out, its exactly the same as going downstairs, £2.60... fucking get in!

Until you realise that all the "delivery" slots are all DURING the game...

Oh yes, you can have your delectable delivered to your spec "Now", 10 minutes into the game, 20 minutes into the game, 30 minutes into the game, 40 minutes into the game... then NO option for half time... then 50 minutes into the game and finally 60 minutes into the game...

Anyone else find that a bit bizarre and a bit problematic?

That we will have hawkers running up and down EVERY stand EVERY 10 minutes bringing people food and drinks? and we may potentially be expected to pass people their purchases, if they are in the middle of a row, or have to get up or move around, to let them out? What happens if they attempt to deliver drinks and hot food when Liverpool score or concede a goal?

The Southampton game awaits...

Firstly, unless you have mobility issues, you'd have to be a massive whopper to do this.

Secondly, it's not feasible from a health and safety point of view for this to happen. And in the Upper Main Stand especially, would be extremely dangerous. 

I very much doubt this will happen in the long-term.

Its happening for the Southampton game... you can log in to the app now and place your order ready for Saturday...

I agree wholeheartedly that no self respecting red should or would utilise this, but there is a certain logic to it, if you consider the number of fans going to the game, who are not fluent or confident in their use of English.

I'm sure this demographic would love the possibility of getting refreshments delivered to their seat, without having to interact with anyone in an alien language, over a financial transaction. These fans wouldn't see the problem in utilising this service, and wouldn't see why the rest of us would get upset over it.

Don't get me wrong, in a stop start game like baseball, you can totally see the validity of this, but in my opinion, football by its very nature does not lend itself to the concept...

And as we all know, there are certain areas of the ground that will rightly, not lend itself to the concept either...

Very much a U.S. thing. From a middle of a row people pass money to the vendor, he passes the beer (usually) via all the other people to the person who bought it. Typically only happens in breaks and mostly for beer. Never seen it for soft drinks or snacks. Don't see how it's practical for footy.

I gotta say, the language thing and demographic thing isn't really an argument for this being used, and honestly can't see why people who don't speak the language would be that arsed either!  These days, and at all big sporting clubs and events, people expect and are ready for all nationalities, and getting a drink or food at a concession isnt that hard, you just have to point, and most of us can figure out the word for pie or a beer  ;D 

This just seems ridiculous.

In the US of course, it's normal to have sellers going up and down the blocks selling drinks and some foods, but usually the sports in the US have more natural breaks in them and the games last much longer cos of it.

This is different, being as you order time slots, uttelry bonkers. Can imagine people getting very annoyed, and rightly so.

If someone orders this I hope it gets lobbed on the pitch. Watch the fucking game. It’s forty five minutes a half for fucks sake. Completely unnecessary. Fine for stop start games that last hours like NFL or baseball. Ok for cricket. No problem in Wetherspoons or Norwegian Air. Do I want to pass a hot dog and a Bovril along the row to some greedy bastard who can’t wait twenty minutes to fill his face when we’re pressing for a winner in the 70th minute?

As annoying as a vendor passing food down your row might seem, it's far less annoying than people constantly getting up and walking across your line of sight to get food. No one minds it here. But it started as a baseball thing, and it's American, which means that 95% of you will automatically hate it. ;D

As time goes by, I'd guess it might only happen once or twice a half in football. Will be less distracting than you think.

Yeah, any significant numbers start doing that and you're queuing to avoid the queue.

I'm all for innovation and that but this just seems completely unnecessary and unworkable for a host of reasons. I'd be stunned if it caught on.

If it were restricted to before ko and half time then I dont see the problem.

Fcukinell I remember the outrage on here when we introduced the digital clock  :o

So long as its done properly then no problem.

Might even encourage those freeloaders in the main stand to get back to their seats in time for the 2nd half ko ?

Wonder what they can do about people leaving 10 mins early, then again thinking about the PSG game  :lmao

Handy if you have kids though. A fella was sat next to me in the Kemlyn years ago, went to get his little girl some popcorn and missed Torres' debut goal v Chelsea. ;D

Seriously though, they can fuck right off with this. It might work at Fenway for the baseball, but it won't work at the footy.

Used it at the Brighton game for half time. Placed order before the game, took me a minute to pick it up at half time and get back to my seat. Please continue not to use it so I don’t have to queue. 😉

They were offering delivery, but I can’t recall if they were offering the every 10 minute thing, which I agree is a bad idea. However delivery at half time might be the way if it does get popular and picking up means queuing.

I don’t think the pricing was any more expensive, but you can leave a tip.

The ordering for halftime, then not having to queue goes against what they're trying to do with this though doesn't it? They'll have to employ more staff to work at halftime, ready to serve all the lazy arses who won't line up for their food and drink.

My guess is they probably know there’s plenty of people who won’t use it, and are happy to continue to queue. There’s also plenty who can’t be arsed queuing who therefore will save spending their money until they’re out of the ground on the way home. This way they get the money from both of those crowds.

It perhaps also means less queuing for those who don’t use it, as some who currently queue at half time will use it instead of queuing, which probably means they just divert current staff.

I dont see how using it for half time is a bad thing.

2 piping hot bowls of Mulligatawny soup
2 Candy floss
A 99'er with cherry sauce and nuts
12 bottles of beer
A fruit based drink for the lady

Please.

In the old days of the Spion Kop, those lads who walked around on the touchline with confectionary would have lashed that lot up to you without spilling any of the soup, your fruit based drink, your beer and without damaging your 99'er or your candy floss. I've seen cruise missiles with worse aim than those lads.  :D
The light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long, and you've burned so very, very brightly, Jürgen.

Very much a U.S. thing. From a middle of a row people pass money to the vendor, he passes the beer (usually) via all the other people to the person who bought it. Typically only happens in breaks and mostly for beer. Never seen it for soft drinks or snacks. Don't see how it's practical for footy.

Happens at baseball games for everything.  Hot dogs, beers, cotton candy, soda.  With peanuts the guy selling them will just throw them at you and you then pass the money down the row to him.  I can’t see too many people at a football game happy to be passing money or food/drink down the row to someone.
