Pies

I hardly ever buy food at football grounds. But roll on Forest Green! Decent food AND real ale!

Okies mate no probs just thought something i.d said in particular had upset you

I just think i maybe see things that some of you dont Being a Carlisle fan but one who soon developed a soft spot for Stanley when i moved here a decade ago

Personally, I wouldn't go vegan in a thousand years, but it's up to FGR what sort of food they serve. Nobody's forced to eat it.

Secondly, if they serve real ales, then more power to them. It'd make a refreshing change to have a decent pint of real ale at a football ground.

Finally, as someone who has sunk a few pints of real ale with the man, in no way can Mike A. be called a tree hugger or a hippy! 😉

While its often unavoidable that the end that they get will be open quite often thats negated by seats being made available if it rains and i.d say Stanley is one of very few grounds where the catering offer is totally different for home and away fans.

northernsoul , i agree with you.

so i encourage all away fans to look for opportunities

About the 3rd or 4th season back in the league, we played Notts County away and it was £5 in the home end behind the goal, but full price elsewhere in the ground including the away end which was £18 from memory.

I went in the home end behind the goal, used the superior catering facilities, then told a steward i was in the wrong end and they happily moved me to the away end.

I seem to recall nowt wrong with Wimbledon at the league match where Kettle infamously blew for half time. We were allowed to sit in the stand behind the goals with pretty much no segregation and a good view.
Some Stanley fans stood in a little shed to the side if memory serves. Not sure why as there were only a handful. Maybe it was a couple of quid cheaper there - if so, probably a false economy.

Also, referring back to previous mention of Morecambe's pies. I seem to recall me and Er Indoors sympathetically looking at some young kid trying to eat one of them. Dry, solid, inedible. Think I wasn't the only one who mentioned how poor they looked on the match thread at the time.

Unfortunately my first trip to Wimbledon was for the play off game Lord D, when we were herded into the corner of the ground which only afforded us a view of the game on the section of pitch directly in front of us, those who had preferred to get seated tickets were ok but one or two of our fans who, on arrival & seeing where we were stood asked could they pay to transfer to the seated area were refused, despite some seats being available - not a good experience

could say the same thing about stanley and their food offerings for away fans then. if anyone knows the geography of their ground its on top of a steep hill and you are a captive audience if you get there late or don,t fancy the treck from the village so therefore they should cater for the majority and not what their millionaire backer wants.

...and just like Stanley or any other club, if the food they serve doesn't prove popular, they'll suffer in terms of lost sales. But in the end, it's up to them to decide on what their food offering is. Not providing food with animal products on for a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon is hardly "forcing their lifestyle" on anybody!

[cashman]

no but if yeh dont provide for the pie@pint brigade, yeh got a good chance of some away fans not bothering imho. and if the provider aint bothered its our club that could suffer

That's good news. Can you elaborate, will it be in the club or the fan zone or both ?
