The long answer involves me going into my usual rant about the benefits of the catering being brought in-house, an idea which I have pretty much given up on with the current owners in charge.
Dartford in a friendly after the way they treated us? HAVE A WORD. I hope when we segregate them we give them a crap area and poor view and refuse their people access like they did to some of ours.
Charlton, Gillingham, Maidstone United, Guernsey, Rangers, Bournemouth, or a decent premier league mixed team.
I rarely make use of the catering facilities during a match but if I ever do get tempted I am usually put off straight away by the queues and the time it seems to take to get served so more and better catering will be an essential improvement needed for next season.
What is up on the one wich is near the other entrance who dose belong to ?
Both burger vans are owned and operated by different people. The club had the foresight to bring the second van in for the Grimsby game and it proved a success and has been brought back ever since.
The position of the van on the new stand side helps should anyone fancy a burger during the game as you can still see what is going on. Agree that they do charge different prices but this is not unusual. I once commented at Sutton a cuppa was £1 at the outside van and 80p at the inside tea bar. At least the charges are reasonable compared to the rip off merchants at certain league grounds.
Yes to another catering truck & yes to more beer as Kevin mentioned. These two are a must for next season IMO. No doubt a catering co would jump at the chance to do it (thats if we cant bring it in-house so to speak).
Also WHY cant a deal be done with using the E&B clubhouse as well as the Wings bar? To me its total madness how that can be locked up / not used on busy match days when we have a Q round the block for our bar.
Anyone agree with me?

What are we talking about here? He said "I needs to be moved defiantly". Why is everyone calling him 'it'? I know his first club is Aston Villa but show a little compassion to the young man.
No of course we don't need another burger van one is quite enough - we need another van to cater for more discerning tastes - noodles, curry maybe but one burger van suffices
Could do with more beer in the bar, lost count of the times we have sold out during this season, and with the large crowds next year if we don't sort things out it's a massive missed opportunity. I can see us running out this Saturday which would be VERY annoying.

At the first PSF against Charlton that I went to the E&B bar was open. I think there was a massive thread on the forum as to why was it open and we don't want it open again. I am talking over 10 years ago but there still seem to be a faction who do not want E&B anywhere near PVR and would have heart failure if their bar was open. Personally if it opens to give visiting fans a chance for a drink when segregated or at the CAFC Pre Season game I would not object. Of course they should pay a fee to Welling as it would bring them in a few bob.

and these people need to grow up as the alternative is running out of beer and stupid queues in our clubhouse plus we need the money (although with segregation next year it will have to be opened up anyway)

Agreed
As much as i agree with your sentiments i dont think we are required to provide a bar for away supporters. I hope we do to show our new friends in the north what southern hospitality is all about.
hang on if segregated the Erith bar most certainly won't be open. When we've been segregated away we've been banned from their bars.... Dirtford, Woking, luton etc . And we would be stupid to segregate then let them get oiled up or tanked up. And furthermore give Erith nothing until they do anything for the benefit of Park View Road. Simples put the bar down steps long ways in the summer, we've got chippies and joiners in our network
