I feel very sorry for you if at your time of life you've only had sex once

I’m going to email them.

Let us know how you get on. Last two times I tried, I got no reply. In fairness though, the Box Office has always been prompt and helpful. Just the club itself seems to have no interest in fans' opinions.

Red and Blue Army!

Daneagles Fish & Chip shop in Whitehorse Lane is excellent for a pre match meal or snack.May not be the cheapest place near the ground but a good choice on the menu. The chips by the way are excellent, well worth a punt.

I cherry picked this from the minutes of CPST meeting with the club on 6th Oct

Food and drink outlets and provision.

While the Trust appreciated that, in the current market, that there may be problems with supplies of food and drink to the Stadium for match days this must be known in advance. Therefore, information could be provided to fans beforehand so that they could make alternative arrangements. In these areas the rules, not allowing food to be brought into the ground, could be relaxed. It is unfair to ask fans to arrive early only to find drinks and refreshments normally expected are not available.

A new catering manager was in place and indicated that although some suppliers were suffering difficulties the Club had over ordered and the Club indicated that there should be no shortages of food or drink in the future and that food should be readily available when gates are opened. They would welcome reports of any specific problems, even using the match day text number. The Trust welcomed the fact that some bars were at last pre-pouring beer.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

i am a GM at a large catering site and understand this inside out.

food at football stadiums really only serves one purpose, which is to soak up beer, the clubs work on the fact people will pay silly prices for what is essentially a s*** pasty/pie you could buy for 50% of the price outside the stadium…mainly because the consumer just shrugs off the price & quality and accepts it for what it is.

i was at the NIA arena in birmingham on thursday night and paid £8.(f***ing)80 for a filled flatbread, which pains me, however, at least it was nice which softened the blow somewhat.

when i go to watch my local non-league team rugby town play, they have it right…chip butty for £2. there is absolutely no reason any large football club couldnt do that and still make the same GP they do on pies & pasties, in fact they would probably make more GP on that than the pies/pastie.

the clubs do a “dirtburger” including bacon & cheese for 75p cost price, or a s/f chicken burger with mayo & lettuce for £1 cost price. they would also buy the pasties for approx 90p each, they would be able to buy chips for 40p a portion

if a club really wanted to produce a really good quality homemade beef burger or southern fried chicken burger & chips for £5 they could easily do this and make a great GP, the customer would also be impressed and would buy again.

its basically a case of the club being complacent & the customer being lazy.
