Keepers Ball Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I really couldn't care less about the catering. And i really cannot understand why people gripe about. I go to the match to watch football. Before i leave home i'll have some lunch . On the way to the game I'll pop into the newsagent and buy a drink at half the price and more of a choice than in the ground. I might even buy a bar of chocolate or/and a packet of cheddars ....maybe when Im older i might take a flask uf i need a hot drink. Hardly tasking is it chaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave L Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 it's not going to change any time soon John, as I said in my blog, quoted above: 'Direct supporter feedback to those who make the decisions will result in changes'. Those who make those decisions will be there on Saturday. It's an ideal opportunity for supporters to tell those who are responsible for the catering exactly what you think.

pride of the west Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Pieminister would jump at the chance to get involved with football. Local firm who now have the means to provide pies for a matchday. Surely cant offer the club a worse deal than what they are getting at the moment. Id buy one. Probably two to be honest ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcsouth Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 There is a good pie and pasty seller outside the ground near the BS3 pub, perhaps they ought to get him in to sell a few. And for those who like healthy food, perhaps they could sell some lettuce. Yes , thats the Clark pie van. The shop is half wAy up north street. There is Also a clarks pie shop in Cardiff and somewhere else, but all shops use different recipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly tasking is it chaps I'm with you on this one, food and drink at football is nearly always overpriced and crap, why would anyone need to buy it. There are pubs, takeaways and newsagents all around the ground. A football match lasts ninety minutes, surely even the fattest of bar stewards can survive that long with buying an overpriced, crap hot dog and then moaning about it. For when we play them next, there is a sandwich shop near Sheffield united's ground that serves the best rolls, pies, cakes etc I've tasted at half the price of even cheap bakeries like Greggs.

Dave, I think many, me included simply don't believe for one second that anything positive in terms of changes to the quality of food or alcohol prices will happen. We've been down this road before with zero outcome and it looks like nothing more than a paper exercise. Surely Lindley's are aware of how unhappy fans are with their service. Moans and complaints about the crap overpriced food and alcohol have been around since they took over. They've not acted before so why should they act now?

swampy Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Let's be honest ... how many foodies off out eating discuss where to watch football? So why are footie fans discussing where to eat and what to eat? For goodness sake, it's only 2 hours for the match ... No wonder so many football fans are so fat .. But if I had to express a view then I'd say go for the proper chef at Kidderminster or the pasties at the Mem .. real food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I had to express a view then I'd say go for the proper chef at Kidderminster or the pasties at the Mem .. real food. I'm baffled by this "it's only 90 mins/two hours at the match". Well, I suppose it is if you live next door to the ground. If you're travelling there and back, particularly after work, it can be a damn sight longer than that. Why is it so difficult to make it a pleasant experience to go to the Gate? As you so rightly say, the pasties at the Mem are excellent. On the rare occasions I go there, I never miss out on at least one, and I live just ten minutes walk away. It takes me about an hour each way on our excellent public transport* to get to the Gate, and something marginally less disgusting than our current fare would be more than welcome. As someone else suggested, counter staff who had even the vaguest idea about what they were doing would be a major improvement, too. * that's irony, by the way.
