Can't you go a couple of hours without food?

I have had a cunning plan the past few weeks.

Went to the shop and got Cheese Burger flavoured crisps  ;)

didn't really think much, until realising both sets of tongs were in the onion tray, you ask for one without onions, and you still end up picking bits of onion off your food...

I would never eat from one of those vans.

Bring back the jacket spud counter!

The food is crap Matt, you know it, I know it, everyone knows it. Next time just leave 5 minutes before full time and pick up a Maccy's  ;) ;)

i got a beef burger yesterday and it was absoloutly disgusting it was horrible and the price was a rip off this was before the game and then i was in the family lounge as always and i was having a cola and i heard somebody say the burgers are quite nice and i choked on my cola

Quoted from MarinerMatt24

My 13 year old lad did exactly the same!

He normally eats anything and everything...but last night was different....he ate half of the hotdog and chucked the rest. He said it was chewy.

For my lad to bin a hotdog or burger...it must be bad.........SORT IT MR FENTY PLEASE.

quite a funny thought, that

Worldn't waste my money on that crap food. I was told that one of the staff of the catering sits below view of the fans scoffing his McDonalds while paying supporters have been told not to eat McDonalds in BP. McDonalds drinks can be taken in the ground though because the stewards do.

Quoted from Fishfinger

quite a funny thought, that

its true i was quite happy sat there drinking cola then i heard somebody say it and i spat it out and started fighting for my life

Nothing will change regarding the burger vans as the club appear to get the pitch money up front and have no over heads as such...

The quality is shite though, but then again, aside from Kidderminster i am yet to find a football ground which has anything you could call decent food

Bloody hell Matt, I can't speak for Southport but I thought the food at Cambridge was God awful but the worst for me all season has to be Wrexham. I didn't have any scran but I did pay £1.70 for a 'brew' served from a Portakabin!? The girls behind the counter didn't even bother making it for me. They just provided the raw ingredients for making a brew and I was left to do the rest! The water wasn't even flipping tepid, let alone hot! £1 flipping 70!!!!! After a three hour drive!!!!! ILLEGITIMATES!!!!

Sorry............. I'll calm down now.

I had the burger. I can only describe it as what I can only imagine eating a warmed up dog turd in a bap would taste like. I think my fellow Mariner had two burgers that night but I don't think he has any taste buds.

Top 3 grub for me this season was..

1) Kidderminster
2) Forest Green
3) Chasetown.

I only ever buy coffee at BP, and I grudge paying £1.50 fir that!

your thinking of luton mate, i had 2 pies there, just the one burger at cambridge, i would say the warmed up dog turd would be my preferred option if given the choice next year.

Clogged up communal spoon?  Could you stop right there please?  Someone 'treated' me to a hot chocolate the other week.  They used to do a nice Suchard if I remember correctly.  Now it's just ... brown water, to put it politely.  Try it, Mr Fenty.  Go on, I dare you.

Every Town game home and away I've been to this year the foods been excrement

This is a contribution to obese Britain,why do people feel the need to stuff them selvs with crappy burgers during the course of a football match?
I have a light lunch before I leave to the game and soon after when I return home I have my tea,you shouldnt need anything... else unless you want to look like beaver(former town fan who weighed 30st.)

I actually didn't rate kidderminster's grub. Probably because I asked for a chicken pie and they gave me a cheese and onion bap :(

That's fine forhome games, but at away games we need to eat. Granted, I'd prefer a pub lunch where available, but sometimes the only chance to eat is at the footy. Feel sorry for away fans at BP!

You can take a flask you know.... ;)

The ONLY way the food situation will ever change is if you all boycott it. Get something before you go to the game and take a flask or a plastic bottle of coke from the shop before you go in, the vendors will then make no money and JF will have to find another source of catering.

I'd organise a protest but.....

Just don't use them.  Won't last long without any punters.

How simple can it be? If you do not like them do not use them! Simples! 8)

Or allow your kids to go to them, buying verything each time thus reducing your redundancy payout by an exponential amount each time you bring them, to a game. Eh Tiny...?

Totally agree. I very, very rarely buy any grub at BP but at away games it's usually the quickest and easiest way to grab a bite to eat during the day.

Trouble is the Mariners fish bar (used to be Hobsons, then Josh's) has significantly gone downhill this season as well.

Quoted from maxfox44

Indeed, used it once earlier in the season, was god awful!

It used to be one of the highlights of going to the game.

Until I read this thread I didnt realise how important buying a burger from a van at the match was to so many people.

I bought a bottle of the coke from there and when i opened it there was a horrible taste i looked at bottle it and was out of date i told my mates to check theres also theres was the same £1.50 thats 3 bottles of drink that where sold wonder if anybody else noticed or if will still be on display at next game should get rid of these and allow mackys in ground

I think letting kids eat this muck, should be classed as child abuse.

Seem to remember Town fans wern't toooo keen on the burger stalls away at QPR more than a few years ago!

Were they really! did you take them back and demand your money back, they would have to refund your money if they were out of date, it all seems a little strange to me why would they risk doing that on a food stall and losing all, have you put in an official complaint to the club with the said bottles of coke. if not do it now maybe the food they sell could be risky

I`m not suggesting it is, but should this be fiction you could very well find yourself in the sh1t

Nothing like a Maccy's before any sporting event.  No harm in a one a week treat.

The staff can be a bit offputting as well. The one in the Main Stand looks like Danny North with Bugs Bunny's teeth. The lass he works with is nice though :)

Shows how good the football is at the minute when theres a 6 page thread about the food.

I remember slating these jokers on the fishy last year when my burger i got was raw,and got told to not buy anything again,i have not even been tempted to buy a drink as i am scared it could be rola cola..

it seems things have got worse and these fornicators will have a death on there hands soon,they are rip off merchants and the food is shocking..

JF needs to look at this seriously.

Yes there is that but it's not the point though

I mean I don't normally use them but I went past and it smelled nice so I thought I will treat my self, I expected it to taste like excrement but I don't expect hairs and other human drop offs

Pontoon kiosk today..

1.Kid sat on the side at 1.50pm inside the kiosk today eating in a food preparation area, waving his feet in the air banging his shoes against the door of a cuborad.
2.Woman in kiosk placing raw burgers onto the cooking area to cook them with bare hands, moving onto preparing a cooked burger for a customer handling the bun with her bare hands without handwashing inbetween. Not once have I seen the lady behind the counter wash her hands between handling raw and cooked food.
3.I guess its the boss man, regually behind the counter in his normal clothes chatting away to the women serving, door normally wide open, him normally eating as well in a food preparation area.
