I just don't get the food debate. If you want a decent nosh up whilst watching sport, go to a restaurant or bar. If you want to watch live sport, come to the stadium.


Yeah!

I don't get the food debate at all. The game is only two hours long FFS. Do people really have to eat every two hours. Most of the games are not at meal times.....stop stuffing your fat faces. If you don't like the food don't buy it. Eat before or after....

 

There is a few of us out of towners or up the coast who work funny hours that make getting to the stadium a logistical nightmare. I Get up, catch the train in and if I'm lucky I may manage 20 mins at the BB and grab one of their lovely fart-smelling burgers.

If I'm running late it's off the train and straight to the stadium so that will be like 8 hours since I've last eaten 10 then if I have to watch the match. My missus usually comes straight from work on Friday games so she won't have eaten since lunch if she's managed to take a lunch break.

Yes it's fine for the languid hipster types to shuffle up to Cuba before the match and have some toasted Korean Aardvark served on a bed of Egyptian roasted street conkers - that's greaaat. After all they can save some of the food for later, storing it in their silly wispy beards.

A lot of us have a busy lives and it's really not too much to ask that if we are paying a kings ransom then at least we get something half decent to eat. You've completely forgotten about kids also who usually have to be fed something to stop them getting bored and moany.

 

Don't get me started on the beer...
