Palace Old Geezer Midhurst 29 Sep 21 11.10am
Call me old fashioned, but I don't understand the need to eat and drink at a football match. Eat and drink before you go, then enjoy the game without risking your health with a dodgy burger or starting a fight by spilling your beer over the bloke next to you. OK, maybe a bag of roasted peanuts in their shells from the vendor wandering through the terraces. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

It’s the same mindset as people who are unable to visit a garden centre without having to stuff their faces in the cafe while they’re there. Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham

Especially those that don't do anything gardeny while they're there. Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.

Originally posted by Dubai Eagle One sat afternoon on the way to the ground, coming out of Selhurst station, through the alley past the railway club, just past the overhead bridge, on one of the roads there was a guy on his front driveway - he had glad all over blasting out from his boom box (on repeat) & he had set up a makeshift burger / hot dog grill- I only saw him once so my guess is that either he didnt do any business or someone came along asking to see whatever vendor licence is required for that sort of outlet. Where was he again?

OK, maybe a bag of roasted peanuts in their shells from the vendor wandering through the terraces. I don't tend to eat in the grounds either, usually because it's crap. However, if the club were able to set up area in the stadium/stands where you can get half decent food, a seat and beer from a glass (like in the red n blue bar) it would create extra revenue for the club.

As another chap has said, given our yank connection, im suprised weve not upped our beverage & food game? Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents? Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

Ah but you need a game of 4 quarters to be able to properly appreciate the American Way..... so far the suggestion of having this has been turned down by FIFA et al. A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

I quite like the steak pies on offer. But I don't like queuing 20 minutes to get one as I did in the fan zone prior to the Brighton game.

As for the peanuts in shells from a vendor? Maybe USA. But never here.
