Taking your own nibbles to the Amex

[Dave the OAP]

Costa coffe bought from the virgin club.....bar of alpen fruit thing...apple, packet of M&S mints...sorted.

Only bought stuff at the Amex when had to stay behind, like big ALS and darrens disco last year and that is about it...I am not one of barbers ideal customers

 

[Return of the Rev]

bottle of water ..wine gums for half time and chocolate for the walk back to the van ..i know how to live it up

WINE GUMS YOU SAY FLYING SAUCERS TEMPT YA

 

[BensGrandad]

Sandwich
Sausage Roll
Pork Pie
2* Pepsi Max
2* 7 Up

Are you a fat old boy?

No have lost 3.5st in the last 6 months now down to 19st 1lb.

The 2 pepsi max are for me, no points. The 7 up for my brother in law who because of his disability can only drink very weak shandy so a bottle goes into a pint glass and he has some of my sons lager to colour it and make it look like shandy. The other one he has at half time The sandwich OR Pork Pie OR Sausage Roll.

Is that explained and Ok

We take a complete picnic never given it any consideration anyone would question it

 

[black shadow]

Right here goes! Please don't think I am being tight, but like many I have to watch the pennys! What I would like to know from any other fans, is what is the policy at the Amex for bringing your own snacks and drinks to your seats for match,s. On tuesday I purchased 2 portions of chips (15 chips per portion) and 3 cokes and got rammed on the price. Now I realise the club needs to make money, but I also have to make sure I stay on budget too, so what I am asking is what are we allowed to take in and what do others take.
Thanks for any input in advance

Always take our own - club prices are a rip off.!!

Ive taken a sandwich and bottle of water in before for an evening game. No problem at all! I did however get stopped taking a can of diet coke in once.

I saw a female enjoying a good finger in the west lower once, looked fabulous

thought it was dream at first but nope, it was the milk chocolate ones

i took half a bottle of whisky into Fulham on new years day many moons ago,i was still going strong from the night before and was in plonker mode,said booze was confiscated and i was informed i could pick it up after the game(yeah right).Approached a chap post match who opened up a Dr Who style kiosk full of booze,was sent merrily on my way reunited with my scotch and with a warm fuzzy feeling for the stewards at Fulham FC.

I have no idea on the ground regulations taking your own stuff in but it happens up and down the country week in week out,it would be a brave club to ban it outright and start searching everyone and confiscating mars bars.

When alcohol was banned I went to an England Scotland game at Wembley and you have never seen so many jocks eating oranges. All I was told, by one, impregnated with vodka.

thats about as subtle as the taking shed loads of tizer into a test match oh and some fruit.......voila alcohol free pimms cocktail

some of the stewards must think tizer is a national drink

 

[BensGrandad]

Nobody in authority had considered it and it worked.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

After our pre-season visit, my dad has decided when-ever he goes we'll be taking food and drink. On my own not sure, like the pies but £3.90?

 

[fataddick]

Why not ring out for a pizza or other takeaway? You can just meet the delivery guy at the exit gate if the stewards won't let him up to your seat. Schedule the delivery for half time if you don't want to miss any of the game. PS It explains why most football fans are so fat if no-one seems capable of going two hours without stuffing their faces.

Definitely the way to go, I think Barber could be on to something here if the shop were to sell blue / white check table cloths

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I take frankfurters in a flask and hot dog rolls for me and the boys to make up at half time. A quarter of the price and actually edible unlike the ones they sell at the stadium, I take drinks and sweets aswell and never been stopped.

Brilliant. I like your style.

 

[Nottseagull]

You can take bottles in but not tins.

So a tea urn would be out of the question then?

 

[Nottseagull]

How the hell are we going to make up the 8 million with fans like you

Don't you think the admission price is high enough without food profiteering too? If the club starts getting greedy then they'll only kill off some of the golden geese.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Dicks Bar run out of Guinness & Pies before kick off and still didn't have Guinness after the match----------shit

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

The do not stop you taking bottles of coke or 7 up in to the lower west, and rightly so, and for the first time ever I am taking a sandwich, sausage roll or pork pie with me tomorrow. In the winter I take a flask of oxtail and mulligatawny soup, no problem.

Now, l like oxtail soup, and absolutely love mulligatawny ... but mixed together?, l'm not so sure.
