Malty Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I took my son to his first game since before covid this Saturday. Shame about the result, but the rams did ok second half and made it interesting at least. However the highlights for an 11 year old very much include the half time chips and of course a program to remember the day. I have to say I was a bit disappointed that both seem to be missing from the match day experience. I’m not knocking what DCFC do and I completely understand financial pressures, but it would be nice to know what has happened to both?!! I still managed to spend nearly a tenner on drinks and maltesers at half time !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, changed to a monthly magazine which is still for sale outside the ground and covers multiple games. richinspain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a Shame. I probably should have bought one of those for us. I guess they must have a lot of waste on match day programs which is why they stopped them? Plus I guess they are becoming less popular than they used to be as everyone can get up to date news and team news on smart phones.

TigerTedd Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Genuinely thought this was a nerdy thread about geek stuff that I could really get into. Have you seen Apple’s latest chip? It’s awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Folks near us pop out to one of the vans for chips at half time. Not sure how many of those there are around the ground? Anyway, if you buy stuff on the concourse it benefits the club directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I know nuffin Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Programme was stopped during covid and replaced with the monthly rampage. August and September issues of rampage were sold outside the ground, all issues sold on line or from the club shop when open. Was told the administrators were asked about returning to a match day programme but this clearly was not approved. Maybe the new owner will see the advantage of having a programme in the new year.

On Friday we were in the club shop buying an away top for me and a third version of my son. That plus tickets, plus the half time snacks. They did ok! Hopefully money we’ll spent, but can’t help but feel that a good chunk of income is going directly to the administrators! They’re not cheap! Anyhow, it was gladly given. I was just happy to be there … with or without the program and chips!! angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistoldPete Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 They don’t print the programme any more. And with nothing to wrap them in any more , there’s no chips either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I need to start taking my glasses with me. I queued for 20 minutes, missing the second half kick off, looking forward to my half time chips and a pint, only to find out that the sign actually read "Chip and Pin only"! ?

Mucker1884 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I'm assuming each stand has at least one van outside, that you can nip out to at HT, for chips? North stand does, for info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
