When I've gone to NFL london or made the trip across its a completely different culture. But you do have a lot more time to sell. Football clubs here have to get it to you in such short windows its quite impressive how they do it. Spurs stay open after the game now to fans wanting a drink

I think spurs brew their own beer, so all the profit and it's a large one goes to them.

You should have the option to 'Butty up" you're order.
There's not much that can't be improved by sticking it in a breadbun

I think the dugout used to stay open. I know they're opening it now to members to watch away games on sky that cant make the trip which again is quite clever
I might try it one game. I'm not a huge fan of that bar. Like the away game idea
 
We've won awards for our food recently and visiting fans regularly vote it the best offering in the league, takings are well up as well, so it's clearly working.
It's pricey with a full family but the way I see it is the ticket prices are cheap for kids so I never object to buying them some food as I know the club need that revenue too.
 
Yeah, I can understand liking traditional things to an extent. But being mad about the food options being better than a burnt pie or a rollover hot dog seems an odd angle to me.

I can't speak for anyone else of course, but I can't see any taking an angle of being 'mad' or 'angry' here.

Granted, we seem to be on the cusp of a new age of extremes, but if we see anger in these discussions about food and its role in the changing times of football, then perhaps we are more ****ed than I thought.

gotta be the ribs surely

I laugh because they're so clearly targeted at a certain type of effeminate manchild with more money than sense. The type who collect Superman figurines and personalise their Nintendo Switches. That's why they have to sell ribs, which Englishmen have been eating since time immemorial, as 'South Carolina ribs' even though they've just slapped some plastic cheese and coleslaw (Dutch) on them <laugh>

We must have a different sense of humour
 
A quarter of Yorkshire Mixture was what I had when I was a kid.

And a Bovril from the kiosk on Kempton (was it a kiosk? Am I remembering that right?)


I do remember that I have never since bought a hotter liquid in a more flimsy cup.

No lid.

No heath and safety warning.

Full to the brim.

And you were jostled within seconds of your purchase.


I still bear the scars.

<laugh>

Have vivid memories of my mate experiencing similar in south stand.

Over filled cup of tea served in one of those wafer thin brown plastic cups. Zero insulation from the molten liquid contained within.

Even if he wasn't spilling it all over his hand it would still be pretty painful.

Pissing myself as he screams argh, argh, aaaaargh before dumping it on the ground.

Anyway, got the Marvin is a tiger email while I typed this.
 
I'm a little unsure about a Chicken balti pie being classed as "traditional food". Weren't they introduced by Pukka pies a few decades back and at best were "over-priced southern pies"?

As Erik suggested, we have a generation of adults who actually choose to go to sub-standard outlets like McDonalds when there are far better options available so can understand they are dazzled by the allure of the pretty pictures of City's food.

I'm from the generation that made the **** football a fun day out by leaving the pub for 90 minutes for a bit of a singsong though, so can't say I was any better I guess
 
What is the deal with food income now anyway?

Is it not externally catered any more? Do City make a bucketful of coin from sales?
 
I imagine the caterers pay a fee to set up in the ground. Same as happens at festivals and such like.

I don't think it is any more. City or the SMC have a guy who heads it all up and they make it in-house. A lot of the ingredients are supplied by Cranswick.

yea, cranswick provide the 'meat' so to speak i believe which is a pretty local company
the rest is in house
 
The problem now is because it’s popular people are leaving their seats 5 minutes before half time and coming back when the second half has already started …they have come to watch football not have a meal…same people usually leave early to avo8d tge rush at full time.
