Ok, Ive just returned from Padiham FC's ground after taking Sparkie and Emily up to watch Blackburn Rovers Ladies Vs Newcastle Ladies in a cup match (Rovers were leading 4-1 when we left), and decided to do a comparison with the food prices at Stanley...........please remember though that at Padiham the food outlet is run by volunteers at the club and not a commercial operator, none the less it begs the question!
Seak Pie Peas and Gravy (in a DEEP dish).........£1.50
Meat and Potato Pie and Gravy ( DEEP dish).....£1.00
LARGE mug of Coffee....................................£0.70
LARGE mug of Tea.......................................£0.60
Service with a SMILE...................................£0.00
Total Spent................................................
£3.80
I have to admit that the quality of the food/drink was v good as well.
Now, the same amount of money that fed and watered two adults ( I use the word adult tongue in cheek 
) at Padiham would have bought a cheese burger (£3.00) and just over 1/2 a cup of coffee or 80% of a cup of tea at Stanley yesterday.
Ok so Padiham may not have the overheads that the Vans on Stanley do, but it still makes you think huh?
