Shelton’s Love Gravy Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 A young lad serving in the South Stand kiosk last night did not know what this was. Shameful. Bovril is the true nectar of the Gods. And should be worshipped appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southstandoriginal Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 True. It's THE football drink. Well, when the temperature drops below 1 degree Celsius. A bit warm for it last night I would have thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumRed Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 True. It's THE football drink. Well, when the temperature drops below 1 degree Celsius. A bit warm for it last night I would have thought! Think my sense of taste was permanently ruined by a molten lava hot bovril whilst stood on the open terrace in Stockport with sleet hitting me horizontally on an f'ing cold Tuesday night in the mid 90's.

RumRed Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Stone cold Bovril? OTIB is making a helluva run at the tag team titles... Mine was dry and a bit crumbly, think they were palming us off with OXO. Now there's a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK0wnag3 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 A few years back at home to Sheffield United I bought a Bovril from the PIe Factory in the EE just before kick off. Come halftime, I still couldn't touch the stuff it was so hot! I let out a frozen sigh, before watching the bloke next to me get back to his seat with an unopened Bovril, rip the lid off, down it in one and then stamp on the cup in triumph. To this day I don't know how he did it without dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumRed Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I knew a dope dealer in Canterbury who used the same tactic. I think I was thinking of 'palmed off' slightly differently... Also he cut bovril down, ten years m'lud, inexcusable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanham Abbotts Red1 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Think yourself lucky. It has always been part of my pre match ritual to have my bovril only to queue at 3 of the kiosks - one had run out of hot water and the other two had run out completely. Did not know what to do.

Whooooossshhhh Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 There's a lot to be said for a 'crew' that wear their caps at such a jaunty angle. I guess it's still like this oop in Accrington etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
