Why dont people have lunch before they leave and supper when they get home? Eating pies between 3pm and 5pm why?

I always get peckish after an eight pint early lunch session.

Soak up some of the booze innit. Pies and beers, happy days
Doesn't really answer the question does it? I lived in London for 22 years so regularly left home at 12.00 to travel to Goldstone/Priestfield/Withdean yet I've never once eaten at a football ground. And going to away games can sometimes mean leaving at 7.00 in the morning (or earlier).
I really don't understand why people can't eat before going to a game, I go to watch football, not eat. For the same reason, I wouldn't expect football to be showing when I go to a restaurant.

What is the problem here ? If you choose not to eat at a football ground, then so be it. Don't. I respect your wish, and I'm not forcing you to do so. Your choice.
There are times when I do. My choice.
At Withdean, we used to have a meal in the Sportsman before the game - all part of the matchday ritual - but there were occasions when time dictated that we couldn't do that, so buying food in the stadium was an option.
At evening games, there's often not enough time between coming in from work and going off to football to have something to eat - so we get something at the stadium. Mrs Fef will sometimes insist that I have something to eat, as she tells me I become a grumpy old bugger when my blood sugar levels fall.
I think it's time for my elevensies.

A football stadium is a venue like any other. People go to the cinema, theatre, a concert etc and eat at a convenient location where the quality and choice available meets their needs and wants. If the football stadium can do that, particularly when it is "out in the sticks" and access and egress are likely to be lengthy processes, then why not?
Creating the Amex as a destination in its own right is something the club should be applauded for.

As we are apparantly the only club that bakes pies on site we should enjoy them as im sure they are brilliant
If you dont want to buy any pies, crisps, chips, burgers, nuts, merchandise, programme, fanzines etc & want to sit there with your sandwiches its a free country
However I wonder in time I would presume you would only be able to eat food that was purchased on the premises

It's the streams of people wandering down 5 mins before half time and coming back 10 mins after, getting in your way that will drive you nuts. I'm with Gwylan, but it's the same at the friggin cinema etc, can't people not eat for 2 hours?

Hotdogs, extra onions
Don't forget the 'hawkers' who will be up and down the aisle selling sweets and hot drinks! And we thought the metal barriers were going to obstruct the views!!
