Personally I like my tea black with one sugar, others like it a bit different. The 'like' was for the image of you trying to do a selfie with a mug of black tea in your hand , not for the video , which i didn't press play for ..

Ewe Ram Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Are we on the way towards the American way of servers passing amongst us throwing hot dawgs with huge tanks of Coke on their backs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine that Mel has brought in some railway style vending trollies to be wheeled to the bottom of the staircases around the edge of the pitch. God help us all if said trollies are as effective as South West trains. Capacity of 3 cups with hot (definitely not boiling) water dispensed at about the same pace as a labrador drool.

Ewe Ram Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I've also wondered how they managed to get the hot drinks so damn hot. I thought boiling water was just that, very hot and that was it. But when you get a hot drink from the concourse it's so exceptionally hot you can't drink it for about half an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammieib Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Its clever from Mel. Assuming 10,000 take up this offer, you're probably talking in the region of a cost around £500 to Mel's pocket. If 500 of those 10,000 buy something else food wise from the Kiosks over and above the 'regular clientele' the additional cost of providing staff which I imagine the catering company are providing will more than be off set. Its a win-win. Mel is no fool - this will give him good 'street cred' at very little cost. I'm not knocking - just being realistic before someone comes down on me like a ton of bricks.

ossieram Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Cracking gesture from Mel, but the problem won't be getting it served so much as people getting down there in time to get the drink. I never leave my seat until the final whistle at the end of the game and getting down the stairs from the top of the south stand takes ages and that is with people leaving the ground. Imagine how long it would take if everybody took up the offer and instead of leaving the ground, queued up for a drink instead! Can't fault his generosity though.

I'm not sure but I don't think DCFC have catering in-house, an external company manage it on a license basis. So what Mel is doing is effectively buying a drink for everyone from the catering company, and if fans spend more it'll go into the pockets of the external company.

Like in the cooling system of a car. That's why you should never open the radiator when the system is still hot. You release the pressure and the coolant vaporises and you get a fave full of steam.

davenportram Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I fact at altitude, lower atmospheric pressure, boiling point reduces. increased atmospheric pressure increases boiling point of water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
