NSC - Chips - Yes or No?

[Whitterz]

Good marketing ploy by the club. If you want something hot to eat at half time, your only cost effective choice is a pie which is £3.50. Then you might aswell have a pint at the same time becuase you will save a few pennies, and before you know it you've shelled out £6.50 , when really deep down a £2.00 tray of chips would have sufficed.

Genius.

My answer is yes...................................................

There are 2 problems with chips, the smell (no ventilation on the concourse) and mess, drop chips, get trodden on etc. Good idea to leave them out if you ask me!

 

[Braders]

I would say yes , ESPECIALLY as the Burgers are absolutely vile (felt sick for the last two days after my debut one) - but I understand all the stuff about the fryers and what have you.

I sit in the "don't mind either way" category

This! I have never really eaten pies at a footy match (more a hotdog or chips person) but every game I have had a pie and pint.

Could the club not commision a Chip Vendor outside the ground, or would that be against rules and regs etc?

Bang on. Chips stink the place out.

Just wait until you get back into town where you can go to a decent chippy and get some.

Am I bothered that there are no chips: Nope.
Would I buy them if they were available: Yep.

Hmm. Curious.

 

[somerset]

No need, all the food is good.

 

[Simster]

Not sure whether it's been mentioned, but don't you need a special license to sell chips, because of the deep fat friers?

I guess the club assumed that, on balance, this was an unnecessary health and safety risk and not worth the financial cost. And anyway, the PIES are magnificent.

 

[Hiney]

To be honest, chips are not really a staple of footy grounds in my opinion. And further more deep fat fryers stink, and footy ground chips are always cold and soggy. I think the club have called it right.

Agree with this

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Not needed or wanted by the majority I feel. Think I like it how it is but guess if you get enough support go for it. Would think the pro chip voters would be more vocal and keen to reply here than those who don't want chips served (but the later seem to be in the majority by scanning thread).

Agreed!

I've never quite got to grips with a polystyrene plate of chips. Dull food and a complete rip off.

This isn't SPEEDWAY don't you know?

However, using the 'not in keeping' line is a bit off when you can buy BURGERS, HOT DOGS and PIES. Hardly the OXO Tower is it....
