Norn Iron Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 My mate, his daughter ( our goddaughter) and son treated themselves to the Hospitality package today (Swansea FA Cup). Approaching half time and his teenage daughter knew she was going to throw-up and not because of the football on offer. She made it to the gangway before vomiting. The steward called for a cleaner which was the right and proper response. Currently only the young son is ok. The family have suggested that the only item of food he didn't eat were the sausages. The evidence suggests the illnesses are food related especially within the time frame of eating. If anyone else has a tummy bug/been sick as a result of today's visit to Ashton Gate's food outlets, please write to the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Food poisoning doesn't usually take effect for several hours, if not a day or so - so someone being sick at half time, after a pre-match sausage is unlikely to be as a result of food poisoning. It's far more likely that the household had contracted some sort of bug or virus - which they are probably now responsible for passing on to others - although, of course, they wouldn't have know it if they were feeling fine before the game.

Bar BS3 Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Yes, of course it could be - but it would be more unlikely than likely for food poisoning to kick in as quickly as that. Especially with the early kick off time meaning food has less time to sit around after preparation. It would be extremely negligent if food hygiene safe practise hadn't been adhered to at an outlet such as Ashton gate - of course not impossible - but unlikely.

Bar BS3 Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Sorry, my quoting replies have gone to pot since I got a new phone! Keeps jumping all over the place and not letting me type what I want. Management level 2 in SFBB food preparation. I'm not saying that it's not FP, but it would be a very quick reaction if it was. It's far more usual for it to take several hours, if not a couple of days. Edited January 8, 2023 by Bar BS3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebounder Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Possibly the food, but also there are a few bugs going around at the moment where sickness and nausea are a key component. Friends been sick a few times with their bug, and both me and my partner have had a similar/the same bug without actually being sick.

Port Said Red Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 It's less about the food, more about the type of infection. staphylococcus aureus can produce symptoms with 30 minutes, given the right conditions. It is usually caused by poor sanitary procedures by the staff or other customers, i.e. washing hands and moving between work stations. It's more likely to have been caused by something that wasn't cooked, salads, sandwiches, buffet type food. At the risk of sounding like I am pulling rank, I have an Advanced Food Hygiene qualification and could use the letters Member of Royal Environmental Health Institute of Scotland (MREHIS) after my name, if I could be bothered. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to give you a laughing icon as the last sentence made I laugh. However, I thought a like icon would be better because of the info. Sadly, I can only give one..... but I can't be bothered to make decision! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkev Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Is there any real need to post this on a forum without 100% certainty of the cause , even then why not just report it to the club. It just seems like another stick to try and beat the club with whilst things are not the best on the pitch . With the power of social media before you know it there will be 50 people in hospital on deaths door after having a meal in hospitality as Ashton gate or some sort of scaremongering. In my opinion not a great post . Personally have done many corporate days at the gate over the last 25-30 years and have always thoroughly enjoyed the occasion the experience the food to varying degrees and Paul cheesley . What comes after the meal on the pitch well that has been a bit 50 / 50 and that’s being polite . 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was posted just in case others have reacted badly to a meal today and were wondering why. It was a buffet meal with food brought in uncovered apparently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma WN Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 This is quite an allegation and I'm assuming unsubstantiated by a visit to a Dr, hospital or another medical practice. This should be taken up with the club direct and not via social media. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
