The Good Food Guide.

Tend not buy much food inside the ground, although the Balti Pies at Colchester (the year we needed 1 point to stay up and basically never turned up) were good.

The Cottage Pies at Kiddi I hear (and see and smell) are good.

The Cheeseburgers at Plainmoor are nice.

Much prefer to have a steak and a few jars before away matches.

Kidderminsters cottage pies are best ever!!!!! Good job I don't live up there, if I did I would be at every home Kiddie match!!

I had a Chicken and Mushroom Pie at the Lewes match and it were reet lovely. First pie i've ever had at a match, so I can't compare it but it was so filling, I couldn't even finish it!

I also went for a carvery in 'Number 10's' before the Cambridge game. I'd recommend it to anyone. Plenty of choice of veggies and 3 types of meat. For £7.95, you can't go wrong.

Best part was walking through the crowds in the gulls nest at half time, getting a drink straight away in the empty bar and sitting back at the table to drink it.

I was also told by the staff, that you can stay in the Gulls nest and watch the game through the windows with a drink if you want to. Not my cup of tea, but if you get a table or comfy chair by the window....

QPR was pretty awful: ordered a hot dog and was asked if i wanted onions. Said yes and then watched the young lady dispense some manky dried onions from a container affixed to the wall - which like they had been sat there since the season before. Yuk.

By all accounts the prawn sandwiches at Old Trafford are second to none.

Vegetarians = Attention seekers.

As the great Frankie Boyle said on Mock the Week. "Yes there is a vegetarian option sir, you can f$&k off! ;D

Only joking Jamie. I was a vegetarian for 4 years. It was the bacon sandwich that had me back on the meat. Chicken and Mushroom Pies should only be consumer by homosexuals IMHO though. Chicken, Mushrooms, creamy sauce, gold foil tray? It all adds up to a type of chap who doesn't enjoy the taste of kippers in my book.

Having said that, does anyone else have mates from oop north who don't like kidney in their steak pies? Is offal just too posh for northern palettes?

Andy S - Kiwi pies have no competition in my book. There's a fantastic bakery in Dunedin in the centre. The only thing actually going for Dunedin apart from the Speight's brewery. It was closed however when we got there so it was Cadbury World for us complete with Ooompah Loompahs in purple dungarees. I refused to go in the glass lift though.

As for the best and worst.

Best

Gillingham - Steak and Spitfire Ale pie with almost a 7"" diameter. I wonder if they still sell them
Rochdale - Lovely Meat and Potato pie for £1.80. The highlight of the day after we lost 4-1 and sight of Richard Hancox masquerading as a 4th division football for the second time in his career.
Kidderminster - An absolute legend. Worth every penny.
Eastbourne - Sausage and chips wasn't bad and they had a whole ton of stuff on the menu.

Worst

Rushden and Diamond's - The Diamond Burger. Looks lovely but the meat is from a can of Winalot.
Bideford - Half time BBQ burger with meat straight from Hilary Briss's special stuff fridge. I had a nose bleed driving back across the moors. Evil in a bap.

Merse... As you have no idea who I am you'll be surprised to know I have access to the following information! It is believed the reason you rarely eat in the grounds is that you find a small eaterie close by before the match from which to sate your appetite. Was it not you knocking back a rather tasty lunch with pint by the canal in the New Inn at Woking...?

I only knew it was you as one of our party divulged the info after you'd popped over for a chat... It went along the lines of... 'oh, that's Merse'... after which nothing more needed saying!
Reindeer head? Thought the grotto as we walked into the New Inn was bad enough... A certain member of our party, no names mentioned to save embarrassement, was actually looking for Santa so he could sit on his knee and ask for a Christmas wish!
