In all fairness, The Hibs Board have got much , much more right than they have wrong over the past few years, but like ALL workplaces, there will undoubtedly be room for improvement in some areas.
Rather than grab a pitchfork, a reasoned approach may put it back on the club’s agenda.
Complaints about catering can be very much in the eye of the beholder, with a common defence by the caterers to be advised of ‘specifics’ which tend not to be forthcoming.
Maybe the board can engage an independent company to carry out a ‘secretshopper’ Type exercise and provide feedback to them.

I find the title of the thread somewhat confusing.
I would have entitled it 'Lack of catering', or' Unsatisfactory catering'.
To describe what is on offer at Easter Road with catering, as I understand it, is extremely misleading.

You can learn more here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_language and here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBb_jKKCcC8 if you wish.Last edited by Ross4356; 11-10-2018 at 12:06 PM.

Nah, it was auto correct on his phone.
Even still, no one actually writes in “Scots Language”, whatever that is.
It looks crap when written down and as someone else said it’s cringey.
It’s also damn hard to read compared to using normal English.

"All posts must be written in English"
I fail to see why text speak should be banned but equally unintelligible "Scots" is not only tolerated but folk are criticised for taking issue with it.

I don't understand how it looks crap when written down, would it be safe to assume you think all non English languages look crap {maybe because you find them hard to read}?
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Clearly I wasn’t talking about Burns, Wallace, Welsh or whoever.
Don’t take everything so, erm, literally.
Chill out.

You're okay with Burns, or even writers like Irvine Welsh or James Kelman being promoted into the respectable literate classes while still writing in something akin to the dialect they originated from. Heaven forbid if an actual, real-life schemie or Hibs fan should attempt to transcribe their own speaking patterns, though. If they want to write, they should learn to write like you and me, is that it? Their dialect is there to be written about by others, not by themselves.

A boycott would hit the caterers profit and would leave them with one option, improve the quality to improve the sales.
Hibs do need to look at this, everything to do with what happens in the stadium affects the reputation of the club.

Several pies were tried and tested by the caterers also involving the club for their opinion. The current pies came top in the test results.

I never actually buy food at half time. Do they actually just leave the pies in the oven for the entire first half meaning they are brick hard or burnt?
I'm no michelin star chef but that seems extremely stupid to me.
