Maine Road tea trolley

[Gary James]

I have a vision of Swales wearing his shiny suit at the cash & carry loading his Daimler with all manner of value products. The wind blowing his combover so it points to the sky looking like an exclamation mark which appears to reveal his thoughts. A smirk spreading across his face he thinks about loading up those tea trolleys with his cheap gains, his mind consumed with how much of a mark up to put on each and how to sell out but claim only 70 - 80% was sold.

"Bernard, Bernard... get your felt tip pens out and change this 13p printed on the Wagon Wheel packet to 18p. Also, that Best Before Date... Can you make 1974 say 1984?"

City should organise a back to the 70's Nostalgia Special when we are playing someone crap (eg the rags), with tickets and everything priced as they were back then and all the catering, match programme etc all as it would have been.

We could reenact the Forward With Franny campaign…

We could also give the attendance as several thousand less than it looks.

Wasn’t there a perimeter advertising board for XL crisps?
Remember the minging klix chuddy
Tried a Bovril a few years ago - pre takeover and spent the second half slowly dehydrating because of the amount of salt in it.

The crisps, I'm pretty certain they were called CHIPMUNK Crisps Ready Salted.

They were

Wasn't there some bags of minging "fish n chips" snacks which were fish shaped biscuit type things?

In a packet with newsprint on it.

I worked - for Stadia Catering- on the trays around the running track - only heirarchy worked the trolleys! Worked all day on match days, setting up all the kiosks around the ground, then selling the food (and they WERE Chipmunk crisps) and cold drinks (plastic, no cans) until about 60 mins. My mother worked in the Kippax kiosk - the one toward the scoreboard end - until she "defected" to the swamp! I did 1970 -73 and left when I got a job that paid my travel/season ticket watching us around the country.

Sometimes there’d be a huge lump of flavour at the bottom of the bag. Felt like you’d struck gold if you had a bag with this flavour bomb in it.
