Eating food at the match

[WrongIslander]

Bang on with the hot dogs mind you. Nothing wrong with them per se it's the muppets that instead of leaving the queue and walking around either try and push through the queue or lean across. Just wait and walk around, nobhead.

There was one game where we scored after about 7 or 8 minutes and I was showered in pastry from the fat pig who sat behind me. Just as well he didn't have a drink with him or I'd have also got soaked.

 

Urgh. You know he pure spat it out as well. Pastry, phlegm and fatty sweat probably

 

That would be me being banned from the ground for flipping on someone

We used to have a really good spot where we'd stand every week at half time and talk about the game until they put the accessory corner near us. The ketchup, mustard, sugar, milk etc.

 

Now we get to watch the rabble fight over the last sugar sachet and laugh at the hilarious fart sounds the pump action sauce dispensers make when they're low on product.

 

I understand the logic "give them their food/drink, then get them away from the counter and make the queue go down" but I'm sick of being asked "is the sauce behind you?" No it isn't mate, just follow the smell of boiled pig rectums

If it's a day match I tend to go the chippy before hand and have curry and chips before I go in.

 

If it's a night match I tend to go after the game for the same dish.

 

Funnily enough, you can actually bring a hip flask into the ground as opposed to a bottle of diet coke for example.

 

Not many people know that.

When I was a sprightly young lad with a season ticket, there used to be Sayers in the ground. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

Sausage roll and a cuppa = £1.

 

Fucking great days.

Food and drink before and after games, not during. Chocolate bar retrieved from your pocket at half time is acceptable.

[Guest PurpleNose]

As unpopular as this inevitably will be, I'd trade it all in to be able to smoke.

[Ace]

Im even more unpopular, Im one of the people who stand in bogs for a smoke at half time if its a stressful game.

[dennis tooth]

anyone ever had the misfortune to have a sausageroll at Sheffield Wednesday? fucking awful

 

and that Chippy outside Anfield (that one with a sign saying they don't accept Scottish money) should be done for fraud cos I'm not sure what they were but they certainly wern't fucking chips, mind it was about 2005 I went in there so might be different now

 

Maybe they were scottish chips?

[Total Longo]

Paulie Hitler.

 

For the record, just a half time bovril is perfectly acceptable. Why waste your time queueing to be ripped off?

[Mike84]

I don't have anything. Yesterday the chippy near the kop smelt fit but I resisted.

[Pidge]

Paulie I totally have your back with Tea, mainly because a good cup of tea needs to stew with the bag for a good few minutes before you add the milk, therefore it would be impractical to have a proper cup at a game, and if you're happy with pissweak, milky shite then you dont deserve to be at the game.

 

Disagree on soup though, if it's in a lidded cup and isn't lumpy or have croutons (and there can not be a spoon involved) it's fine.

 

A bag of chips is fine too, as long as it's not accompanied with something else (sausage etc), keep it simple and you can hold it together if the team scores.

 

as for individual sweets, is a few in the pocket okay where a full bag is not?

[RoboRiise]

Why not tea?

If im driving then i can only have a few pints before game to calm me nerves and then a brew when i get in to warm my hands.

I dont like coffee it smells like a history teacher.

 

 

If you're driving you can't have 'a few pints' of anything unless it's Vimto mate.

[23_Carra_Gold]

I never understood why people feel the need to sprint down for a pie or a pint of piss water. Can people really not last in the ground for a couple of hours without stuffing their fucking face?

 

All wankers

If it's a day match I tend to go the chippy before hand and have curry and chips before I go in.

 

If it's a night match I tend to go after the game for the same dish.

 

Food before or after the match is my preference. I'm not much of a fan of noshing on a pie when watching the football.

[sir roger]

I was on the Kop for the Arsenal game and there was an elderly couple ( and I'm no spring chicken ) sitting in front of me.

 

All was fine until half time when they produced a large tartan bag of some description, laid a napkin on their knees & proceeded to have a 4-course banquet , starting with soup from a flask , leading to a sandwich & scotch egg each & then 2 individually tin-foiled apple pies. A bottle of water each finished the repast.

 

I was flabbergasted & asked them whether they had planned to go to the Opera in Hyde Park but used a Binatone sat-nav. They never laughed.

[Faustus]

The pies at Arsenal are fucking immense. £4 a pop, but they're worth every penny.

[Strontium]

I hate pricks who eat from the cafe at the match. I bet these pricks have missed a few goals over the years trying to beat the queue. If you want something to eat get it before the fuckin game or bring it in with you. KNOBS

 

 

Amen to that. Fucking sick of being up and down like a tart's knickers for the last 5 minutes of the first half and the first 5 of the second half, and all because some greedy fucker needs to eat so often that even 90 minutes is too long to go without sustenance.

[mattomac]

I was thinking about drinking it in a match scenario and it just didn't sit right with me

 

 

 

Yes because it is a standard sized chocolate bar

 

What if you have a tea before the match because it's freezing say half an hour before so it's almost gone by the time the players stroll out.

[Pidge]

This, you know these fuckers wait until they're in the cinema before deciding they want a piss as well.

[Lucky Pierre]

I'd like to plead the case for sweets like worthers. The old fella who sits next to my dad brings then to matches and hands them out to a few people so it's not all bad.

 

I've made it my aim this season to sample a bovril at all the PL grounds. Had about 5 last year and City's was the best. It was horrible last week.

Thanks for your time. This will help you not be a whopper

 

Who made you the food police? Fuck off. Let people eat what they want.

[ChunkyMonkey]

I'm not into all the extras offered at football stadia. We're already treated too much like 'customers' anyway.

 

I remember the quite sophisticated enough three-tier service we used to get: Bovril and tea, pies and pasties, programmes. That's all I ever needed. Mind you, I'm probably out of step since as I'm as old as the fucking hills. And not your Johnny-come-lately hills either - I mean the big, fuck-off, granite ones.
