Distgusting food van in north stand

[The Grub]

Recently I've been watching a few games from the luxury of the roofed north stand. What I expected to find was a higher standard of food stall on offer to match the higher priced ticket. Obviously I was wrong. Not even equal food standards as the south stand but worse, much worse. The problem is that as there is only one place to buy food, the standards can be as bad as they like and they will still sell that rubbish. I'm not going to go on for ever but does anyone else think we deserve slightly better offerings in the food dept. Even a few pies would be better than that rubbish, burnt onions, limp burgers, overcooked sausages and hard chips. The condiments were wet, messy or run out. The whole stall is a joke. Is there nothing we can do to get this improved?

Can you not go 105 minutes without eating?

Thats not the point though is it? They are there to provide a service.

That is not the point if the club are going to offer food or snacks then they must be of a reasonable quality and the food sold in the North Stand does not meet that criteria.

Yes, and I will be from now on but when you come straight from work and you won't be getting home till late, it would be very handy to be able to have food at the ground. I shall be planning further ahead from now on.

Oh, and it's the only food stall in the ground that does not have a queue at half time.

The whole matchday experience is a overpriced joke, but we still pay it!

Might have been taken in the wrong context. I've been going to The Albion (indeed any football) regularly since 1978, in that time ive bought about twelve quids worth (if worth is the right word?) of food in or around football stadia. It's shite and it always has been, i'd rather go hungry as it's never going to improve all the time fans pay it, it's up to you

May start calling you Bertie Smalls.

I think that's probably a very good idea.

 

[Notters]

Sounds better than food poisoning from the south stand's offerings!

 

[Hot Gossiper]

I'm amazed more people don't get ill from eating that crap. I've witnessed someone coming out of the blokes toilet without washing his hands, only to go and start serving food!! And none of the staff wear gloves and handle food & money. I personally wouldn't touch it........

get gordon ramsay or jamie oliver on the case. they both (?) have restaturants in town now, i beleive...

It's not just the quality of the food in the North Stand stall that is so inferior to what's on offer in the South Stand catering area, it's the quality and speed of service. Each and every one of the South Stand outlets manages to serve at least twice as many customers in fifteen minutes than the North Stand booth can manage in twenty. And I've known the North Stand place run out of basics (like cooked bacon) when there are still DOZENS of people in the queue. Cook some more? Nah. They can't be bothered.

South Standers would RIOT if standards dropped to the level that North Standers have to put up with. The place is a disgrace.

Tuesday night I heard the guy say they had no water as they had forgotten to get it out of the van!!!

Hot Chocolate is shit also.

 

[Turkey]

They do cheesy chips. Mmmmmmm.

 

[maidstoneseagull]

It's rubbish, I can't really believe that is an acceptable standard and not really sure why they are still there. I'm sure this has been put to Insider on a number of occasions and nothing has changed. Perhaps the club management should come and enjoy the delicacies they serve.

Best thing to do is avoid.

Not no more, it's a RIP OFF.

 

[Spiros]

I'm sorry, but the fact that the van sells over-priced shit food when it's the only choice is hardly a shock, is it? We all know it's crap and has been ever since we got back to Withdean, so it's easy enough to plan for it. If I go straight to a game from work I either make sure I get something decent to eat at lunchtime or go to a chippy on the way to the game. The only thing I ever buy from those robbers is an occasional cup of tea but at £1.20 even that's a bloody rip-off. Just give it a wide berth - if more of us did that then they'd have to improve it
