Anyway as someone who has to console themselves with a chicken tikka pukka pie sometimes at PP as I’ve not had chance to eat in town, where in the bloody heck is someone getting these from? Last time we were on was for a Christmas dinner in a tub from inside the stadium! One for the connoisseur. ………...any chance of a pre season friendly?

MadAmster Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Taking flasks? Still do, a hip flask. Bottle closing mechanisms? Always been a bottle top to me. Is "bottle cap" something the younger folk use? Match day scran? Usual start is a full English. Either in Brenda's Caff on London Road or the Bab, all depending what time we wake from the night before. Then, again dependent on the time, a couple in the Neppy before heading to the Brunny for beer, one of their wonderful cheese n onion cobs and a pork pie. If hungry, a burger or hot dog at the ground. Then back to the Neppy for a few before ending up at the Viceroy for a curry. angieram and Pikeyram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram59 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I hadn't bought a pie in many, many years at a football ground. At Barnsley one of my lads decided to have one and I was tempted, so I bought a Pukka meat and potato pie, expecting to find pieces of meat and potato in it, all I found was meat and potato mush, I needed either a spoon or a straw, not a fork!?

Boycie Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 We were about to enter the turnstiles when the apprentice wanted a burger, there was a queue at the burger van so I told him to get one inside. I went for a Jimmy while he went for a burger. Only one of us completed our task. How can a football club not sell burgers in the concourse? shambles.

Probably because they dint sell em before so nobody asks for them? I wish they sold Gluten Free food, they’ll sort the Vegans out no problem. Sigh.

I normally take extra bottle tops to events so I can have a drink in a civilized manner. Edit: I see you already do it and others have suggested it. But these rules are utterly mad and there's an issue that no one seems able to change them. They just come along and make everyone's lives just that little bit worse.

Do you usually eat between 3pm and 5pm, just thinking and this might sound crazy but hear me out…..eat before or after the game, you know, what people usually call……dinner time or tea time?

As we have a bit of a trek to the match usually need something and would rather give the club our money but its unreliable and poor The catering is contracted out anyway isnt it, so wouldn't make any difference to the club if you purchased food in the ground or not (if my point is correct of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t have anything to eat before the match no, but you’ll be pleased to know he did get a greasy burger after the game outside subway. £4.

I'm not certain that its correct but know at some point in time it was contracted out to Delaware North (or something along them lines) although I believe at some point in time DCFC did have a stake in that business.

I agree. Although I do have the advantage of living local enough to have lunch before setting off for the match (Or my tea, before an evening game). But it seems most who need to travel some distance also need to factor in an early arrival to secure a parking spot and/or to ensure an adequate buffer against traffic hold-ups en-route, thus generally having time for a bite to eat before entering the stadium. Particularly a stadium with surrounding eateries such as ours? 🤷♂️ I do often wonder how desperate folk are... and why... to feel the need to buy the hot food in a football ground, but I guess they must have their reasons. I guess I shouldn't knock it, but it still leaves me a little intrigued as to the reasoning behind it (purely in a nosey-parker kind o' way!) As you infer, with the possible exception of a noon/12:30 kick off, it's rare for a football match to coincide with "recognised meal times".
