LOL. No it was running out of pies for a home game after 32 minutes. I think JWP suggested I should have got haribos instead!



Dave's always good in replying to emails but it looks like it is not sorted out and it needs it (assuming the above is correct)

There is a real polar opposite with Heathcotes. The concourse side of things are pretty poor, but the service and quality in the hospitality side of things in the North and East Stand is pretty good.



I assume their General Manager oversees all things, which makes it even stranger.

I would say the hospitality scores 7/10 rather than top marks GDMM. It's OK. Wine list could do with improvement together with table service. But you get what you pay for I guess.



The concourse offering is abysmal at times.

I attended the HJ yesterday and as always stood in the South Stand.We have gone for the last 2 years to the finals, this year was different, and I don't think I will go next year. During the first half of the last game I felt so uncomfortable that I asked the steward to move myself and my daughter to the East Stand which they kindly did, I felt it could have got out of hand. At half time I went down to the toilets, and never, have I seen the toilets at the HJ in such a state, I was also informed that the police had instructed the kiosks to be closed, due to the crowd behavior. I dread to think what would have happened if Barrow had lost. Cannot comment on other fans as we were not near them. This is only my opinion so will not get into a discussion with anyone. All I know was that last year we were in with Salford, Celtic and Oldham fans and had a great day.

There was at least two arrests from the South stand yesterday, one of them being a streaker. Perhaps some of Barrows' 100k prize money [imay[/i go back to the RFL if there's a probe into their crowd.

I would say their fayre/service is of equal standing to that on offer at Old Trafford. Mass catering in a very specific time slot cannot be easy.

Be moaning the grass is to long next on the pitch. you use our stadium then slag it off. thank you very much

there to watch rugby league for god sake. take some buttys next time.

Never had a problem at the HJ myself.



But at Boundary Park on Saturday, they ran out of pies BEFORE half-time, which I wasn't impressed by.

moanin s, not happy unless theres summot to moan about

It does make me laugh how there are 2 threads about the HJ at the moment. One supportingg/complementing saying how good of a stadium it is yet this current one is moaning about anything and everything there is to moan about.

The HJ is not perfect, no ground is. They all have their 'little' problems but it's a place some fans like to call home, even if they do run out of pies.

Imo, it's always been fine but that's just me.

I would suggest running out of food and drink before the final game at an RFL event is more than a little problem. Is it not reasonable that supporters can get a pie and a pint if they want one? Surely it makes commercial sense too for both income and to ensure we get the gig again next year?



The issue is that Heathcotes would rather sell out early rather than carry unsold stock and they clealry err too much on the side of caution in predicting demand. It appears that they do not suffer any consequence from running out either.



Mind you greasy spoon stalls at the side of A roads seem to manage...

is this the second or third time this has happened at the NFP finals? i remember the widnes fans kicking off about it.
