Video on the OS regarding this and talking about it in more detail. The opportunity to meet the man of the match, to have a lovely meal and obviously free drinks goes down well. I done it myself about 9 years ago and although as an 18 year old I didn't value it too much I think it's nice what they do and Evertons hospitality is rated the best in the country.

However:

It concerns me that football fans who sit in the stands, paying their season ticket prices and normal match ticket prices get absolutely sh1t on. You walk through the turnstile and the only available options are a hotdog priced at £4 which is a dodgy one on a roll. Drinks are scandalous also, never bought one so don't know how much but we are the true fans here. I'm not saying we deserve to get it for free etc and have the same privileges these tossers have but I think Everton should realise how much it costs us to attend games all year round and to sell the food and drink with at least 40% off its current RRP. These hotdogs must cost £1 for a pack of 10 and they are making a profit of £39 on one pack.

It really annoys me seeing all the privileges these people get and we get absolutely nothing. If anything we get treated like dirt. We really do. I was speaking to a West Ham fan last season and he pointed out the unfair treatment of football fans.

The guy on the video points out how the food is the best, why can't we have the opportunity? I'd pay for the food if it was good. But no, they look at us and think "just give them rubbish"

Price the food at a lower price because it is simply disgusting. I won't buy it again anyway, it was only an emergency. That menu can improve so much. I'm gonna write to Everton.

Email address please?

We need to speak up, they must think we are happy with a pint and a pie, yet the country bang on about healthy living. It's a football club, promote the club and the sport across the board, healthier options. We are all not pie eaters who don't care about our physique. I'll be bringing my own stuff anyway until something happens.
 
Ye, we could have them drop down tables like the Airlines,knife and fork do,three courses like

Surely I have a point? Doesn't anybody else think we are treated unfairly by clubs? Not just Everton but everyone.

I think I've made a serious argument here and there is good things to pluck out of what I've said.
 
I've never really sampled the hospitality suites at Goodison

I just imagine them to involve some tressle tables, with nice Everton tablecloths (but still with Danka on because they haven't had the new ones done yet)

few nice little sarnies, some sausage rolls cut up small, maybe a bowl of crisps, and a few cans of warm Skol

Your point is somewhat confused imo, as corporate hospitality & the crap served around the ground under the vague heading of 'food' are 2 completely different issues.

With regards to the first one, if you pay top dollar you would generally expect to get quality service.

The junk served around the ground at the snackbars is awful, but so is football fodder in general, we're not unique in that regard & the pricing is about par.
 
Christ, I dread to think what you'd have made of the bogs at some of the older grounds/away ends.

Perhaps swerve e-mailing the club, but write to that bellwhiff Jamie Oliver. I'm sure he'll champion your cause.
 
Football is a multi billion pound business which without us would collapse. We shouldn't be treated like cattle.

You aren't treated like cattle. They sell overpriced food to those who want it. If you don't don't buy it. If you want a better standard you have to pay extra. Simple.

Dont think we can do anything about the catering Everton outsource it to Sudexo, think we get a certain percentage of the sales..

I agree here. I pay the ticket price to get to see the match, and getting a hot dog or pie is not my priority. If I have a pint pre game, I go to the Thomas Frost.

Are you walking round with your eyes closed? It's not necessarily about food, open your eyes,it's other things, football fans get treated atrociously whether its by our own club, another club, the police, etc. look at the facilities they provide us with, we pay our prices like everybody else, not as much as the corporate areas but other things. The West Ham fan I mentioned earlier told me a story from
Earlier in the day when he arrived at Everton's ticket office to pick up his tickets. It was 12:30pm and the conversation went like this.

Fan: hello I'm here to pick up tickets west ham supporter.
Ticket Office: Sorry, they haven't arrived just yet they should be here in 10 minutes.
Fan: Ok, no problem
*ten minutes pass*
Fan: Have they arrived yet?
TO: No not yet, we are still waiting
*20 minutes pass*
Fan: Look love, where are the tickets? We've been waiting half an hour.
TO: Someone's gone to pick them up they should be here in a minute
Fan: You said that half hour ago, what's going on? Where has she gone to get them? Manchester?
TO: She won't be long, you've got an hour and a half before the game starts, why don't you go for a walk round the stadium?
Fan: look, don't insult me, that isn't fair, I'm supposed to be in the arkles with the other fans, I don't wanna be spending my day waiting around here. The way us fans are treated is despicable. It really is.

He is right. Nobody cares about us. We deserve more respect.
