Match day burger van told to shut shop .

[Herr Tubthumper]

Why is it that no one has brought up the fact that he was asked to close on the back of complaints of noise and mess from local residents, nothing to do with the club

Because I do not believe the residents. The real reason, in my opinion, they are complaining is because it's change. The public always rail agsinst change. They just dress it up as noise and litter. If it wasn't this it would be health and safety.

Who is organising the banner ?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Because I'm about to go out the door, and said that it was EITHER private land or railway land? Thank you for informing that it's private land, I felt that was more likely anyway.

Okay, I'll excuse you for making uninformed posts because you're in a rush.

Money can't buy you everything
Burgers isn't one of them: (no onions please)

Needs a bit of work

 

[Pevenseagull]

no burger vans outside the ground? Next thing you know we'll have all seater stadiums and cheerleaders. DISGRACE

are we talking, at the valley 30 odd years ago?, I remember a minibus turned over at Selhurst (about 81) and a wooden shed at Elm Park mid 80's, do I win £5

As usual - people jumping on the populist bandwagon without any knowledge of the facts.

Strange post! As the previous comments have been split both pro-burger vans and against with other types of comments I fail to see where this so-called 'populist' line lies??!!

I think it's crap that there is nothing outside the Amex other than program sellers. They should have a few stalls with merchandise, so you don't have to que for the shop. Also I don't see a problem with the burger bar outside the stadium property. That is how people have made money through the ages, if there wasn't a demand for burgers, the guy wouldn't make any money. I feel a club U turn coming on. Or council, whoever it was.

Have you been there recently - hats and scarfs can be bought from the programme booths and they have a big table outside the shop selling sales items.

Now that the new season rush and the post christmas voucher purchasing has clamed down there is never a probelm getting into the shop.

Don't let that stand in the way of a good binfest!

The Argus certainly didn't let it stand in the way of a non-story. As soon as they found out he hadn't completed the paperwork it should have been spiked, but they'd probably already taken the pic, so ...

1. There is no right to run a retail business from your garden.
2. Their burger is rubbish.
3. If we do have a burger van can we have Naz's? The one from outside wickes now a bit further away from wickes for disputed reasons.

if u r comparing them with the stadiums burgers then u r wrong....if its to do with noise then i am surprised as its never been a problem when i hav either passed by or been served there..hopefully the facts will become known and also he is allowed to stay..nice peeps too

Yes, not knowing who owns a plot of land with only minor relevance to the topic is truly the greatest of crimes.

 

[Mackerboy]

Christ give the bloke a break it's harsh to move him on. The burgers at Amex are dog wank and don't think they sell many. Fans should have a choice

 

[Lush]

Club spends a lot of money to build stadium.
Club relies on income from food to pay for stadium.
Local bloke sees opportunity to grab some of money for himself.

All I see is a chancer on the make.

Haven't been to the last 2 so no didn't see that. Good thing they are doing that.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

All over downtown in Stockholm - hot dog stalls, cinnamon buns, burgers, Greek food, kebab huts, and Thai food.

In NYC you can get crepes or roast chestnuts from a stall too.

And do you think they are licensed in any way? Or are they allowed to just open up and trade wherever they like?

 

[Jim D]

This in today's Argus how unfair .

I've read through the posts and can't work out where the van is. I assume it isn't one of those outside the station or wouldn't they both have been closed?
