[Food] Football ground food

[Albion my Albion]

Why would you ground your food before you attend a football match?

Burger 'n' chips at Carlisle, yours for an Ayrton.

Looks eeer not very appealing. Is this typical
of northern football food ?

They lower the division, the better the food.

Fact.

Ketchup aside, I thought that looks pretty nice by the standards of the stuff you get at football grounds.

This, I’ve seen much much worse - in this very thread.

They look like proper home made chips, not the usual cash and carry stuff

Best food I’ve had in 202 games all season, mince and potato pie at Spennymoor Town. £2.50.

Should have let us know you were up this way.
A few years ago (while living in Sheffield) I did a batch of bridge inspections around County Durham, and the lad I was doing them with became basically addicted to the pies from a bakers in Spennymoor.

Was back in December, was planning on taking in Blyth Spartans v Southport but got called off as the train pulled into Newcastle station so went to Spennymoor instead, was a belter of a game, 3-2 to the hosts against Boston United.

If you ever rock up at Brinkburn Road to watch Darlington RA let me know.

For balance there has been some excellent stuff from British grounds posted too. But agree, that looks nice.

I manage one of the youth sides for Hungerford, we were playing matches on the pitch before their game this afternoon and the smell coming over from the kitchen was beautiful.

I was chatting to some 'groundhopper' guy up there a few months ago that came down from Suffolk for a game and this burger was the motivation for a 6 hour round trip, which I thought was pretty odd behaviour tbh, but each to their own...

Putting the hunter in Hungerford! Surely award winning in football ground food.

They sure know how to bake a pie up in the north west. I remember eating a similar offering with chips at a pub close to Boundary Park Oldham, prob twenty odd years ago, it cost £1.99p, that was very cheap even then.

That's interesting, this said ground hopper wasn't in a wheelchair was he? We had one visit us at Horsham YMCA from Felixstowe a couple of seasons back.

However our culinary delights deffo don't match yours!

Food at Burgess Hill Town is excellent, and great value. A diet coke and an awful hotdog at Wembley yesterday cost me 11.50.

Did this man happen to be a Braintree Town supporter by any chance?
