Aizoon Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Yes , for the "posh" people's food, us commoners have to continue to have the rubbish food. It was Terry Pratchett who pointed out that if pigs' cheeks, trotters and tripe are traditional dishes for the poor, someone else is eating the rest of the pig...

AshtonGreat Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 I had the worst hot dog I've ever had while at the Gate on Wednesday night. Add a sausage roll, a packet of crisps and a bottle of water and I was almost a tenner out of pocket. I must be a mug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne allisons tongues Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Thought Dave l said last season they were looking into the catering at Ashton gate. Did he ever get back with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcshorey Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 I was quite impressed with my cheeseburger at the rovers game... much better than the burger vans outside the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be a mug I've fairly often felt queasy after eating a hot dog (usually in a cidrous state), but only at the Gate have I felt sick watching someone else eat one. The consumer was sat in the row in front and the hot dog was covered with red & yellow stuff and smelt and looked disgusting As to the yellow stuff, Lindley's do their own brand. I managed to get a look at the container in the Glos CCC Hammond Room and it says just that on the container "Yellow Stuff". Eat your heart out, Mr Dibbler - CMOT Lindley is way ahead of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraham Romanovich Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 I think this takes the biscuit so to speak , cheesey chips at Stevenage. Just £4 - Orient fans not impressed. http://leytonorientforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, it distracted him from tasting the 'food' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 I enquired how much a bottle of water was in the Dolman kiosk the other night. The answer £2, that is disgusting. I walked to the gents and drank from the cold tap, there was no sign stating it was not drinking water and I've been alright since. I will now wait and see if that tap is rendered out of order to force people to buy water at £2 a bottle which is dearer than the beer in the bar.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe pubs are obliged to offer tapwater free of charge after some unfortunate incidents involving Ecstasy and wired-shut cold taps. That may not apply to football clubs, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Many years back, I was with someone who ordered the nachos in the Pump House (long before it was tarted up) the bloke behind the ramp opened a bag of Doritos, tipped them on a plate, covered them in salad cream and charged a premium, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might aswel allow fans to bring bricks in. They'd cause less damage than the pies if thrown at a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Very true. They have an incredibly sharp burnt crust and a "filling" hotter than the sun But which still manages to be undercooked. Baffling They are pies, Jim, but not as we know them...

That may not apply to football clubs, though. any bar/pub wherever situated are obliged to serve tapwater for free...though i did read of a pub in pembrokeshire(that shall remain nameless!)who charged someone not for the tapwater but to cover the cost of cleaning the glass!!..i kid you not.

WhistleHappy Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I had the worst hot dog I've ever had while at the Gate on Wednesday night. Add a sausage roll, a packet of crisps and a bottle of water and I was almost a tenner out of pocket. I must be a mug Unlucky, it being a trophy match n' all, if it was a cup game you being a mug wouldnt have stood out quite so badly... Why people waste money on rip-off 'catering' at an event lasting only a couple of hours max is beyond me tbh... Eat before or after elsewhere, get something palatable at a fair price, until venue cateres pull their socks up and are forced into offering better & cheaper matchday grub & drinks.... Its only the 'mug punters' putting up with it while paying through the nose thats to blame... Supply & demand for shite fayre is crazy imo.

TBF at least visiting fans won't know it's shite until they bite into it (poor sods) I understand that no one needs to have a coffee and a pie at half time, but it's always been part of the day out for me.
