Is the food actually any better/diffferent?

I emailed the person in charge of catering and she said they were reviewing the menu ahead of this season. Is it still the same shite?

Admin of the Dons FB group was complaining about the hot dogs, but I can't say myself as I didn't get any.

When I suggested to the guy behind the counter that I'll just have to remember to bring a bottle top with me next time he basicaly said "yeah, it's so stupid, you're not even the first person to say that to me today". Not that I'll be in a hurry to buy anything, mind :lol:

Absolutely detest the removal of bottle caps. Bought a water today and spent most of the time trying to avoid it being knocked over by my daughter.

Exactly what damage am I going to do to anyone with fucking flimsy plastic bottle cap?!

That was my first home game since last November and organisationally, the club is a fucking shitshow. To add to the comments above (and the car pass mess):

£6.15 for a Pale Ale? You can get someone killed for that.

A programme was shoved under my nose at one point. £3 for a piss thin 32-pager, of which 17 were adverts. So 20p per editorial page.

The new shirts look so bad, no wonder there was so much interest in the retro stuff in Hawkins' Bazaar upstairs.

I understand it took about an hour to get the telly changed over for the lunchtime game 'because the IT Department were busy'.

At one point just before HT, the tvs in the cowshed bar were streaming the video advertising hoardings.

Plus Mr Health And Safety having to stand over the smoke bomb and let it burn out before picking it up. :lol:

I like to think the club care, but all I keep hearing is they don't listen or aren't willing to make changes.

The most frustrating thing is that it would be so easy for the club to just run some of this stuff by the fans and get their "customers" inputs. On catering menus, new initiatives and technology, even the kits.

Honestly it's the principle of it as much as anything. I expect the consession stands to be expensive, but the prices they are charging for what's available is ridiculous. And they're too stingy to even give us a 5% season ticket discount. Some egghead in accounts thought to himself, oh look, we can make an extra 'X' amount by getting rid of the five percent discount... Well you won't if nobody bloody buys anything!

One addition: WellDon, James and everyone else involved with the MKDSA should be proud of what they've created up in Lewie's. It looks the absolute dog's bollocks up there.

If volunteers can put that together, what's the club's excuse for the last 15 years? Lewie's is the only good thing about the matchday experience atm.

I heard some stuff today about the culture within the club and their attitude to us proles that was frankly alarming. This was from someone ITK I would say. I won't name the person, or the specifics of what he said, but I don't see anything changing anytime soon.
