The Taste of League Two

[shoddycollins]

Behind Morecambes away end it's a bit of a faff getting a coffee... They give it to you black and you have to shuffle along a bit adding your own milk and sugar ....surely easier to serve it pre white with black upon request ...We are talking a quick cuppa at half time here its not rocket surgery

We must have the same catering company as them... we serve black instant coffee, not even fully dissolved from the kiosk... next to which is a picnic table with some wooden sticks, a tub of UHT milk pots, another of sugar sachets, and a polythene bag you have to tear open yourself full of plastic lids.

Virgin Trains should donate their own catering facillities to us in return for the amount of front-page headlines in national newspapers with Jabo celebrating with their logo across his chest we've given them.

You can tell you're in league 2 when everyone is cockwaving on who provides the crappist service

I think it's a case of its the one thing that's wrong with your club that can be easily fixed , and quite possibly by yourself ...it really can't be that hard to get the basics right

I'm quite proud of the fact that I've not gone anywhere near the food at Field Mill in over twenty years.

In fact I'm seriously considering having a tiny sleeved, tight fitting t-shirt printed with - 'Avoiding crap overpriced rubbish since 95'ish'. - Not only is it a supremely catchy phrase but it'd be the ideal garment to wrap my lean hulking frame in to on a freezing December Tuesday night, whilst craving for something hot in my belly.

Only in the League Two forum do you get proper, serious fucking debate.

Bloke in the food queue ahead of me at Molineux couple of years ago asks (verbatim) "You don't happen to have horseradish sauce for the burger, do you?"
Response "You're fucking joking, right?"

Only a few grounds do I buy anything these days - York & Exeter for their sausage rolls, Hartlepool for their hot-dogs. Everywhere else I avoid, mainly because generally speaking everything is overpriced (especially Northampton).

We do pot noodles in the away end which people seem to like though.

Best food ever at a football match. Southall of the Combined Counties League Premier Division. If clubs at that level can do it why is it so hard for everyone else?

I'd forgotten that one - magnificent! Good point in your last sentence too.

You'd have to know roughly how many your going to shift , so a bit of a gamble ,but if I owned a football club I'd Tikka chance

So you don't actually go to watch Mansfield, then?

 

[Richard Cranium]

Not since 95. His post explains that

I remember going to Old Trafford with my dad to watch le'Arse get dicked out of the FA Cup. At the time I had gotten into a bet with a friend to see if I could do the veggie thing for a month.

At half time I tried to buy a cheese and onion pasty, and was told they'd run out. I was offered a steak and kidney pie instead. I replied that I was "vegetarian" to which the lad behind the counter replied "we've also got meat and potato".

He was being deadly serious.

They got it spot on. Naan left at the end though there was a bit of argy-bhaji as it got close to kick-off and people hadn't been served.
