Good. Hopefully more football food is highlighted for how pathetic but overpriced it is

10 for 50p in the Aldi

People are daft enough to buy them, same with the piss they pass off as beer. Stop buying the stuff & the catering company will up sticks. If people had any sense they'd fill up before the game, far better quality from the burger vans dotted around the ground.

Plenty burger vans outside. Cheaper and far better. Why people buy food in there, for what it is, does baffle me. Ale is ale, when you're on it you keep going.

Compass don't give a fuck though.

Hot dogs, Compass hot dogs, the dogs Blades think are shiiiiiiiiiiiiite

I never understood the people who would leave the first half early to beat the queue for the food. Like that is the experience they came for. I can understand with kids but the adults just going for a pie or whatever just eat before you go.

I left the first half early on Tuesday to get a beer and still nearly missed Anel's goal

Have a 'like' for the post, and an angry face for the use of 'line' .

Only decent food I get

I would imagine 30p Lee is pretty much the stations poster boy these days, so the FACT he can get the best part of 17 proper meals for the price of 1 Hot Dog will draw a certain level of ire in frother world.

Very true. But going back to midway through last season, when I arrived straight from work and had no time to go anywhere else, I bought two minging hot dogs and we got a class win (may well have been 2-0 v West Brom).

So I'm now stuck wi' buying 2 shite hot dogs for ten bleedin quid every big match to get us a result (100% record across about 10 matches by the way). Any big home matches where we've not got a result (Forest matches at home) they'd sold out. Caterers fault we didn't go up.

Boro, Watford, Spurs, West Brom, Luton- bloody expensive few weeks coming up.

food prices people pay in England are self-inflicted wounds if they aren't challenged
on returning from my break in England we returned via Leeds Bradford airport
there was a Greggs in the entrance where a coffee and a bacon butty was 4 quid , a pound more than the one on the moor Iin Sheffield
but once through security into the departure lounge 2 food outlets, one was 4.80 for just a white coffee and 11.50 for a coffee and bacon sandwich , proudly advertised as on a special offer
the other one was an eye watering 14.95 for the same thing
both places were busy, personally didnt bother and waited till I disembarked back in Spain to eat Had a good night out at Spoons on ECCY Road on friday where prices were really good ,9-50 for a bottle of sauvignon but a Bottle of Pinot in Crystal Lounge cost 32 quid

They’re inedible.

Was desperate the other week so bought a hot dog. The roll was rock hard and crumbled into saw dust at the first bite and the sausage was what I’d imagine chomping down on a great big rubber dildo would be like texture wise.

Managed two gob fulls and into the bin it went

 

[CrookesBlade]

Everything they sell is shite bar Neck Oil at a very reasonable £5.

I occasionally have to resort to Henieken when on the BL Upper.

Guinness Export would be good next season but I expect SAG would take a very dim view.

Have you tried the outside catering at Reading ? It is very good, so again no need to get anything in the ground.

 

[KeithEdsgoalWards]

I work 4hrs then have a half hour break. I then work another 4 hrs.
I don't eat during either of those 4 hr periods.
This training regime i've kept to for around 40 years was solely aimed at getting me through the 90 minutes of a match, without dying of starvation.
It takes discipline, but it can be done.

Definitely. My choice is usually Middle Eastern Shawarma on London Road.

I stopped buying them years ago after I got dodgy stomach and sick for 3 days.

Dare to say it but best catering I've had at a ground was Elland Road. There pies are really tasty.

Why are you watching gb news ?

Catering at the lane is embarrassing . Poor offering compared to most other grounds. 28,000 + customers is a great opportunity . If they offered the bars to independent event caterers they would flourish. Street food etc like at festivals .
they would have a vested interest in offering best service and not just be un motivated youngsters trying to earn a few bob.

That's been suggested on the footy scran thread. As usual, despite it being a brilliant idea, it's shot down in flames for multiple reasons. In this day and age, with lots of street vendors and individual businesses, like at festivals, the potential is there.

The South Stand in particular has a good sized walkway. Rip the lot out and just have a load of vans parked in there on a match day (oh won't somebody think of the pollution!!).

Beer tents can be lobbed up in a couple of hours (like at festivals). The club won't bother because it would be seen as stepping on compass's toes and it's probably a bit more hassle than it seems.

But pies burgers and sausage rolls is just so shit and boring it's borderline unacceptable

I'm a bit disappointed that Dozy didn't list this as a top priority.
