Pie and a pint problem before the game

[Stat Brother]

i'm always amazed that people feel the need to eat between 2:45 and 4:45- very odd.

We 'sold it' as part of the Seagulls experience, (not the pint bit!) for the kids.
They love it as it's all part of a special day.

And if you're standing in a queue for a pie, staring at a 'Pie and a Pint' sign for longer than 30 secs I defy you to not buy one, for yourself. DON'T JUDGE ME OK

I also had a similar problem in the toilets after a dump, as there was nobody available to wipe my arse!!!!!! ATC ?

A load of guys from south london were interviewed for the job but were found not to be fit for it!

It's a pain trying to hold a plastic pint pot and a huge pie.

I bet all the girls tell you that

 

[Withdean and I]

Very glad you raised this matter. Whilst it's certainly not a complaint (can anyone complain after Withdean?) it is a little matter that would make the matchday experience even better.
Just a few extra places to put your pint and grub would be so handy. There are the columns by the TV's that would be ideally suited to this and it would make life easier.
More places to get Ketchup and Mustard would be nice as well - and they always seem empty when I go to them.

i brought a pie first, then ate it, then went back for a pint to wash the tasty pie down, no need for a shelf on this occasion. but next week who knows what I will do, pint then pie, pie then pint, pie and pint, oh and where do you put the programme, blooming decisions decisions.............

No queues where you are then?

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I have to agree. Some more shelfage would be helpful. It's a pain trying to hold a plastic pint pot and a huge pie.

Do what l do ... slurp of beer, piece of pie, slurp of beer, piece of pie .. keep goiing until both are finished. No need to put anything down that way.

there was for the pie, but the good old bottle of fosters stand was empty every time I visited......and never saw a queue at the Bitter stands either.

Did that mean you missed out on the special pie and pint combo price? Get you, splashing the cash!

 

[HastingsSeagull]

North has plenty of ledges. Also I took my pint to my seat at Gills game but maybe got a non-interested or lenient steward. Didn't see any signage and no comments so just assumed was fine

 

[Jozza]

I Managed to eat a pie with one hand and hold the pint in the other.

I am truely gutted now that I may have missed this golden opportunity to save some money. Will look out for the "combo deal" tomorrow, but then I may need a shelf?

Maybe the lack of shelves is a cunning commercial plan to get people to pay for their pies and pints separately.

ATC?

This is very valid as far as WSU goes and I contacted Elliott Moore weeks ago who replied "I am afraid this is a club issue and I have asked the Stadium Manager to consider more shelving for fans, I am sorry that I cant answer this one for you". Insider gave his usual non commital response when I asked him but it is something that could easily be remidied and make things easier for a LOT of people.

 

[wallyback]

Too right!

 

[bomber130]

I manage to balance my pint on my head and eat the pie with two hands. Once said pie is finished I take the pint off my head and start drinking again, its not rocket science. Better still stay at home and have a crappy iceland pie and put your pint on the kitchen table,Job done. How bad of the club not to give a valid response to this very serious thread.

I feel your pain. Counsellors are available for those worried about their card losing its swipe-ability.

On another matter, I was delighted to discover the comfy nature of my seat at half-time on Saturday, being about the first occasion I can remember in the first three games that I have SAT DOWN on the ruddy thing. I am, of course, ensuring that it doesn't wear out thus saving the club huge amounts of SEAT UPKEEP.

It's the least I can do in the circumstances.

 

[Bakesy]

i usually overcome this problem by having something to eat before i go to the football.
simple, but it works for me

Trouble with that is you end up needing a dump and missing the first goal!!!!! LOL

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Would it not be a good idea to put shelves around all the concrete columns?

Bank Holiday coming up. Perfick opportunity for an army of DIY volunteers
