£4.20 for about 15 chips agai9nst Brentford. Absolute shambles.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

£6.50 for sausage, chips and gravy from the chippy next to Mary D's.

Was quite nice to be fair but should be about £3.50.

I had a pastie at the Brentford game which was awful.It must have been reheated from the Ipswich game as I nearly lost a tooth.Like someone else said, if you can pop into the Greggs in Asda which is what I did against Inter.

 

[MCFC Wirral]

I could stretch to £6 a pint in a venue ok if only having a couple.

 

[Penfold the Duke]

Was in SS 117 , first time in there. Due to traffic problems and only arriving at the Blue car park at 7:20 it was a toss up between something around the ground or inside. We ate inside (seemed a better choice than in other parts of the ground and bought the Korean BBQ chicken meal. Wished we hadn't bothered. Fries with a not very nice cheesy sauce coating, and 3 tiny fried chicken pieces (Farmfoods/supermarket standard) which had a very small BBQ sauce on them. 2 of these and 2 soft drinks £21.80. Food at any venue is expensive, if it had been any good then OK. It was gash and so therefore very expensive. Eat elsewhere next time (or at least try something else different). Just a point, If you've been used to eating around the ground, is that being impacted by the construction? Only get to about 4-5 games a season - but it seems a lot worse than in recent years.

The offering is what it is, and is much improved to what used to be offered, however I take issue with the service times, there has got to be a way of speeding things up personally I would make it only 2 pints or two lots of food at a time, how many times have I been waiting for a drink and someone in front of me is taking orders from all and sundry

 

[M23 Citizen]

Staff didn’t even know what a Bovril was the other day.

Three of them thought I was speaking in a foreign language at first, then thought I was taking the piss:

Me ‘Please may I have a Bovril?’
Her ‘A what?’
‘A Bovril, please’
*she looks at me like I asked if I could finger her*
‘No, seriously, please may I have a Bovril?’
‘Hahahaha, what do you want there’s a queue?’
‘Look on the screen, I’d like a Bovril, please’
*three of them turn around and it’s a picture of a hotdog because the screen has changed*
‘Hahahahaha, if you don’t want anything, we’ll have to serve the next person’
‘I want a Bovril, the beef drink’
‘Beef? Haha, come on mate’
*what must have been the manager walks over and apologises to me, gives one of them a cup of Bovril and gets me served*

Can you imagine back in the thirties that if you were stood next to someone who had just paid 1d for a cup of Bovril you could tell them that one day it will be £2.50.

Mind, blown!

Ha ha....

My ex-wife had a Black Country accent. Half-time at Maine Road one game, she asked for 2 balty pies and got served 2 Bovril instead!

What really fucks me off is when I’m close to the counter, 1 person is in-front of me, then their mate jumps the queue, and they end up order multiple pints for all their other mates who aren’t in the queue. There should be side barriers close to the counter so people can’t jump the queue and do that. I nearly got into a fight once when somebody did it, but when it’s you against a group of lads, you don’t stand a chance.
