Guided Missile Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 There are some fantastic new food items to sample, including our locally-sourced premium hot dog, the top-quality Hampshire hog roast, traditional jacket potatoes and nachos with a range of toppings. Alternatively we'll also have mobile sellers making their way around the stadium bowl offering hot and cold drinks, confectionery, hot dogs and ice cream so you needn't even leave your block when you need refreshment. Oink, oink....
lloydie Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 Just got that email aswell, to be fair... does seem an improvement over previous years not that that's particularly hard.

Saint_clark Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 Nachos and hog roast are a plus, I might partake from now on. Hopefully there's some better drinks on offer. Excellent.....do the mobile sellers make it up to row JJ? They've covered that base, they said you don't have to leave yourblock, you just have to make it to the front.

Jonnyboy Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 When will we able to have a lager in our seats? Then I will get excited.
Window Cleaner Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 (edited) When will we able to have a lager in our seats? Then I will get excited. Take your own in a Camelbak, don't think they'd pat you down for that. Every time that ou feel the need you just need to have a pull on the tube. Edited 21 August, 2014 by Window Cleaner
Patrick Bateman Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 Gee that's awesome, premium quality food in the stadium bowl before September ONE! Personally I'd have preferred some greasy orange slapper grunting as she chucked a super hot balti pie at me, on the terraces.
Turkish Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 Seriously what's wrong with people? Fat, greedy, lazy wa*kers.
CB Saint Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 Seriously what's wrong with people? Fat, greedy, lazy wa*kers. shush, this is serious business
Colinjb Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 Seriously what's wrong with people? Fat, greedy, lazy wa*kers. The only person who cannot resist biting whenever food comes up. And you have the cheek to call other people greedy Turks.
Saint_Jonny Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 Hog roast sounds great thanks. I'll have ten, thanks. Then I'll squirt fatty feces all over Turkish's seat. With him sat in it. Greasy fatty turds. Squirt squirt squirt.
Golden Balls Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 The only person who cannot resist biting whenever food comes up. And you have the cheek to call other people greedy Turks. *like*
Smirking_Saint Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 shush, this is serious business We've bun over this and over this

Colinjb Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 When it comes to the subject of food at football, I've had a gutful Clearly not enough if you keep coming back for further helpings.
Saint_Abroad Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 Luke "make that 2 bear claws" Shaw missed out! He could have ordered a pukka pie, or two, right from the bench.
Turkish Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 Clearly not enough if you keep coming back for further helpings. You'll be dining out on that gag for years.
cellone Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 When it comes to the subject of food at football, I've had a gutful I knew when I saw the OP earlier that this would grate your ish. Fair play to you for keeping your stance on this issue. My only thought is an evening game for me when I could afford it, it use to mean that I had gone straight from work and needed my tea/dinner/supper what ever you call the meal you have after running around like a tit all day. I grab whatever is available and hope to swallow as much as I can before my hunger is sated and I consider the substance, nutrition or taste of this sustenance. I will say this isn't a problem for me any more due to my new plastic lifestyle. The mark up on fast selling, half decent grub provided at a rate to match demand is reasonable.
BlakeySFC Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 Fantastic news, now all the fat c_unts can get fatter.
cellone Posted 21 August, 2014 Posted 21 August, 2014 Fantastic news, now all the fat c_unts can get fatter. I reckon if Mc D's closed tomorrow they would still crack on gaining pounds. Greed is a bit different to a pie and a pint at a game.
Griffo Posted 22 August, 2014 Posted 22 August, 2014 "Stadium bowl" and mobile sellers walking round the ground. More Americanisation of football.
Plastic Posted 22 August, 2014 Posted 22 August, 2014 Selling food at public event shocker. Sack the board.
Whitey Grandad Posted 22 August, 2014 Posted 22 August, 2014 This is the real reason behind the stupid kickoff times. They set them at the times you would normally be having a meal. They'll be having games at breakfast time next, you heard it here first.

The9 Posted 22 August, 2014 Posted 22 August, 2014 "The Stadium Bowl" made me cringe a bit. Hog roast will be decent in the very unlikely event it's done well. There's no non-crappy shorthand term for "the area within the Stadium in which you can actually see the match but specifically excluding the areas you can't see the match" though, is there? They can't say "pitchside area" or "in the seats" because they'll be in both of those. Stuff like "viewing arena" and "stadium bowl" is all there is, unless someone can think of a better one?
CityRanger Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 Well did anyone have the "hampshire sausage in a brioche roll"? £5.50!
ashleyb5443 Posted 23 August, 2014 Posted 23 August, 2014 £4 for a warm Carlsberg. I don't mind paying over the odds for sh*t beer but they could surely serve it chilled?
Turkish Posted 24 August, 2014 Posted 24 August, 2014 So how was it? Who enjoyed the locally produced hot dogs, jacket potatoes or nachos? Did anyone take advantage of the mobile sellers so not that not only could they stuff their faces they didn't even need to burn a few of the calories off by walking down to get it. What with the new, larger programmes is it fair to say the matchday experience has never been better?
simo Posted 24 August, 2014 Posted 24 August, 2014 Was going to ask if they had any food left at halftime this match but at £5.50 for a sausage in a bun I'm guessing there would be haha
Golden Balls Posted 24 August, 2014 Posted 24 August, 2014 Hog roast stand in the Northam looked popular. Someone gave me a free beer too. Thank you to that man.
bpsaint Posted 24 August, 2014 Posted 24 August, 2014 At least they've stopped selling Carling this season. Granted Carlsberg isn't that much better but an improvement none the less.
whelk Posted 24 August, 2014 Posted 24 August, 2014 At least they've stopped selling Carling this season. Granted Carlsberg isn't that much better but an improvement none the less. No Carlsberg is the worst. Or maybe that is just the Wetherspoons end of life stuff. How come our official bookie William Hill wasnt in place. Still Sporting Bet who go ome at half-time. Would have thought being official partner meant at very least you got the betting custom.

What with the new, larger programmes is it fair to say the matchday experience has never been better? Queue at the stall was too long so while I fully intended to buy a programme as I usually do when I have the nipper with me (as he likes collecting them), I couldn't be bothered to queue for 5 minutes. Seems somewhat of a retrograde step as last season the sellers were more numerous.
Turkish Posted 24 August, 2014 Posted 24 August, 2014 Queue at the stall was too long so while I fully intended to buy a programme as I usually do when I have the nipper with me (as he likes collecting them), I couldn't be bothered to queue for 5 minutes. Seems somewhat of a retrograde step as last season the sellers were more numerous. Out of ten, how would you score your match day experience?
angelman Posted 24 August, 2014 Posted 24 August, 2014 Same as last season, save for the ice cream I got. The nipper wanted a slash so I trundled down from the top of the stand, saw the ice cream seller (with no queue - I'm not a great queuer) so carried on while the nipper went his way. As the ice cream might possibly have been the best part of the day, I would have to score it 10 out of 10, but maybe take it down to 9 as £2.50 for a Magnum Classic is a bit pricey. My local shop, which isn't exactly cheap, knocks them out for £1.85. Oh and let's knock it down to 8 for having a ridiculous queue. As I had lunch at home, I didn't feel the need to go for sausages or hog roasts (and who eats those at that time of the day? But come an evening kick off I might well get one) But seriously, I go to SMS to watch the football, and I have an uninterrupted view from a decent, if a few rows too high, of the whole pitch. So my match day experience is exactly what I want it to be (ie to watch football and food & drink doesn't come into it) so can't complain.
Batman Posted 24 August, 2014 Posted 24 August, 2014 Is there a Ben and jerrys stall selling their finest yet?
angelman Posted 24 August, 2014 Posted 24 August, 2014 Is there a Ben and jerrys stall selling their finest yet? Nope - only Cornetto, Magnum and something that he showed me for the best part of ¼ second, so couldn't see what it was. But sod the B&J, should have New Forest ice cream. Let's get our priorities sorted.

Its great to hear there is a full range of foodstuffs to satisfy every palate. You enjoy them pal. You seem like a good guy, you deserve it. Edited 24 August, 2014 by Turkish
