People getting up to go and stuff their faces before half time - very annoying

[Jonno]

Yesterday about 4 or 5 different people in my row got up after about half an hour, squeezing their way along the whole row and getting in everyone's way and return a few minutes later loaded up with chips and burgers and again causing everyone to stand up and have their view obscured and probably that of the people behind us.
Can't these people f***ing wait before stuffing their faces? Or eat before the game?
I find it incredible that people do this, really annoying. Whinge over.

You want to trying sitting thru a baseball game - that's all people do. Even though they have people coming round with trays chokka with food most Yanks have to keep getting up for some reason or other. In a four hour game some 'spectators' can only watch about 30 minutes of the game. Fecking yanks.

At least they must stop you falling asleep during it!!

There are several near me who turn up ten minutes late and leave ten minutes early for both halves. Heaven knows what'll happen next season when there's a bar.

Same here - usually fat council house types worried their bellies will not be wobbling properly without the requisite amount of greasy fast food inside every half an hour or so.

Like it or not, eating as much as drinking is part of some peoples' enjoyment of a match day. It will be worse at the Amex, if the food is better.

Yes, but with a little patience and consideration, they can still have their food and drink butwithout causing disruption to all
those sitting between them and the nearest exit. Too much to ask?

Fortunately we are middle of a row so don't really suffer this. Must be very annoying though. It's a steady stream out of the South Stand before half time.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I just know what some people are like. If it were me, I'd wait til HT, just so I didn't disturb people, but mayn people just do what they want, and don't think about anybody else.

Never understood the requirement to have to eat a football match, probably because of the crap served at Withdean.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Get a life you sad bastards. So you had to stand up and have your view obscured for 2 seconds BIG f***ing DEAL.

Personally I would touch the shite food at withdean but if someone else wants to eat it fair play to them, they can do it at whatever point in the game they want.

 

[LABHA]

Good reply

Does my head in. What's the point of paying for a football match and missing the most important bit of both halves, namely the last five minutes? I missed the FC United goal yesterday as two or three people had the row infront of me standing so they could go for their burger.

You are brave touching that sh1te food

Did you bring your pack-lunch and thermos yesterday Beachy? ;-)

 

[Sergei Gotsmanov]

So what if people want to go and get something to eat. It's their prerogative. What a pointless thing to moan about.

 

[Gully]

It is...but when they suffer from morbid obesity, clogged arteries or heart failure...from all that shit they stuff into their faces...it is my taxes that pay for them whilst they are bed blocking in the NHS.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Why not take sandwiches?

Just no need to have a drink or eat for 90 minutes, not hard is it ?
